Welcome to Active Meditation,
A course in miracles.
Meditation 102 I share God's will for happiness for me.
You do not want to suffer.
You may think suffering buys you something,
And may still believe a little,
That suffering buys you what you want.
Yet,
This belief is surely shaken now,
At least enough to let you question it,
And to suspect that suffering really makes no sense.
It has not gone as yet,
But lacks the roots that once secured suffering tightly to the dark and hidden secret places of your mind.
Today,
We try to lose suffering's weakened hold still further,
And to realize that pain is purposeless without a cause,
And pain has no power to accomplish anything.
Suffering cannot purchase anything at all.
Suffering offers nothing and does not exist.
Everything you think suffering offers you is lacking in existence,
Like suffering itself.
You have been slave to nothing.
Be you free today to join the happy will of God.
Let's practice.
Say to yourself,
Say in your mind,
I share God's will for happiness for me.
Now,
Think about how your life would be if you truly shared God's will for happiness.
I share God's will for happiness for me.
For several meditations,
We will continue to devote our periods of practicing to exercises planned to help you reach the happiness God's will has placed in you.
Here is your home.
Here your safety is.
Here is your peace.
Here there is no fear.
Here is salvation.
Here is rest at last.
Begin your practice periods today with this acceptance of God's will for you.
I share God's will for happiness for me,
And I accept it as my function now.
Then,
Seek this function,
Happiness,
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.
Let's practice again.
Say to yourself,
Repeat after me,
I share God's will for happiness for me,
And I accept it as my function now.
Now try to find this function,
God's will for happiness,
Deep within your mind.
God's will for happiness is there,
Waiting,
Waiting for your choice.
You cannot fail to find it when you learn happiness is your choice,
When you learn that you actually share God's will.
Look for this function now.
You shall be silent.
I share God's will for happiness for me.
I share God's will for happiness for me,
And I accept happiness as my function now.
Be happy,
For your only function here is happiness.
You have no need to be less loving to God's child than God,
Whose love created the child as loving as God.
You have no need to be less loving to God as loving as God.
You have no need to be less loving to God as loving as God.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
