FINAL LESSONS

Introduction

1. 1Our final lessons will be left as free of words as possible. 2We use them but at the beginning of our practicing, and only to remind us that we seek to go beyond them. 3Let us turn to Him Who leads the way and makes our footsteps sure. 4To Him we leave these lessons, as to Him we give our lives henceforth. 5For we would not return again to the belief in sin that made the world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking and destroying, dangerous in all its ways, and treacherous beyond the hope of trust and the escape from pain.

2. 1His is the only way to find the peace that God has given us. 2It is His way that everyone must travel in the end, because it is this ending God Himself appointed. 3In the dream of time it seems to be far off. 4And yet, in truth, it is already here; already serving us as gracious guidance in the way to go. 5Let us together follow in the way that truth points out to us. 6And let us be the leaders of our many brothers who are seeking for the way, but find it not.

3. 1And to this purpose let us dedicate our minds, directing all our thoughts to serve the function of salvation. 2Unto us the aim is given to forgive the world. 3It is the goal that God has given us. 4It is His ending to the dream we seek, and not our own. 5For all that we forgive we will not fail to recognize as part of God Himself. 6And thus His memory is given back, completely and complete.

4. 1It is our function to remember Him on earth, as it is given us to be His Own completion in reality. 2So let us not forget our goal is shared, for it is that remembrance which contains the memory of God, and points the way to Him and to the Heaven of His peace. 3And shall we not forgive our brother, who can offer this to us? 4He is the way, the truth and life that shows the way to us. 5In him resides salvation, offered us through our forgiveness, given unto him.

5. 1We will not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His holy Son. 2We are forgiven now. 3And we are saved from all the wrath we thought belonged to God, and found it was a dream. 4We are restored to sanity, in which we understand that anger is insane, attack is mad, and vengeance merely foolish fantasy. 5We have been saved from wrath because we learned we were mistaken. 6Nothing more than that. 7And is a father angry at his son because he failed to understand the truth?

6. 1We come in honesty to God and say we did not understand, and ask Him to help us to learn His lessons, through the Voice of His Own Teacher. 2Would He hurt His Son? 3Or would He rush to answer him, and say, “This is My Son, and all I have is his”? 4Be certain He will answer thus, for these are His Own words to you. 5And more than that can no one ever have, for in these words is all there is, and all that there will be throughout all time and in eternity.
