Happiness is impossible if we think it will come when we achieve
this or that future objective. Only the present moment is
alive, therefore, only in the here and now can happiness be in motion. We would not try to enjoy a musical composition when it is
finished; we appreciate it from note to note. VH
“God
gives me only happiness.”
“He has given my function to me.”
“Therefore my function must be happiness.”
The first premise is that God gives you only happiness. This could be false, of
course, but in order to be false it is necessary to define God as something He
is not. Love cannot give evil, and what is not happiness is evil. God cannot
give what He does not have, and He cannot have what He is not. Unless God gives
you only happiness, He must be evil. And it is this definition of Him which you
are believing if you do not accept the first premise. Lesson 66 - My happiness and my function
are one
“God, being Love, is also happiness. To fear
Him is to be afraid of joy.”
Lesson 103
“Forgiveness
is the key to happiness. I will awaken from the dream that I am mortal,
fallible, and full of sin, and know I am the perfect Son of God.” Lesson 121
“I share God’s Will for happiness for me, and I accept
it as my function now.”
Seek this function deep within your mind, for it is there, awaiting but your
choice. You cannot fail to find it when you learn it is your choice, and that
you share God’s Will.
Be happy, for your only function here is happiness. You have no need to be less
loving to God’s Son than He Whose Love created him as loving as Himself. Lesson 102
What
I perceive without God’s own correction for the sight I made is frightening and
painful to behold. Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief
the dream I made is real an instant longer. Lesson
290 - My present happiness is all I see
Faith versus un-Belief.
Unbelief
will nullify BELIEF in an instant even though you have Faith. Why? Because your
ego will find someway to say “Yeah sure”. You see a spot on your finger and you
google “spot on ginger”, notice wart and research wart, becoming a wart expert.
Is the spot likely to go away or have drawn your attention to developing a
wart.
As soon as you realize that
your belief is “a truth,” appropriate at a particular time and not “the truth,”
appropriate for all time—that it is a function of a specific environment that
no longer exists—the belief will disappear and will not return. At which point you can create a new belief based on the
current environment, which will result in behavior that is appropriate for the
current environment.
