LESSON 48
|
|
|
|
|
There is nothing to fear.
|
|
|
|
The idea for today simply states a fact. It is not a fact to
those who believe in illusions, but illusions are not facts. In truth
there is nothing to fear. It is very easy to recognize this. But it is
very difficult to recognize it for those who want illusions to be true. |
|
|
Today's practice periods will be very short, very simple
and very frequent. Merely repeat the idea as often as possible. You can
use it with your eyes open at any time and in any situation. It is
strongly recommended, however, that you take a minute or so whenever
possible to close your eyes and repeat the idea slowly to yourself
several times. It is particularly important that you use the idea
immediately, should anything disturb your peace of mind. |
|
|
The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting
in your own strength. The awareness that there is nothing to fear shows
that somewhere in your mind, though not necessarily in a place you
recognize as yet, you have remembered God, and let His strength take the
place of your weakness. The instant you are willing to do this there is
indeed nothing to fear. |
