Review (161 and 162)

Blessing and the truth of our being.

We are reaching the heart of the review today. The guiding thought, God is only Love, therefore I am too, becomes increasingly real within you. Why is this review vital? Because lessons 161 and 162 contain two of the most powerful truths in the entire course. Without revisiting them, their power risks fading. Repetition engraves them in the stone of your heart.

Lesson 161 taught you to ask for the blessing of the holy Son of God. Every mind contains all minds, for every mind is one. The blessing you ask for another, you receive within yourself. Lesson 162 may be the most important of the entire course: “I am as God created me.” This single thought, held firmly, would save the world. Through these sacred words, all illusions vanish. You become the treasure where God places all His gifts.

These two lessons are like keys that open the doors of freedom. Lesson 177 (review 163–164) and lesson 178 (review 165–166) will continue to explore the consequences of these truths. Reviews 171–180 are the final bouquet of this section, they transform everything you have learned into a unified experience. God is only Love, therefore you are love, and this truth sets you free.

Practice:

Today, ask for the blessing of someone you encounter, first inwardly, then perhaps outwardly if the opportunity arises. And throughout the day, repeat: “I am as God created me.” Let these words be your breath, your anchor, your light. When everything seems difficult, return to this simple truth. It is enough.

Nothing is truer than this. And nothing can change it.
