Day 31

The Rewards of God

"In learning to escape from illusions, your debt to your brother is something you must never forget. It is the same debt that you owe me. Whenever you act egotistically towards another, you are throwing away the graciousness of your indebtedness and the holy perception it would produce. The term 'holy' can be used here because, as you learn how much you are indebted to the who Sonship, which includes me, you come as close to knowledge as perception can. The gap is then so small that knowledge can easily flow across it and obliterate it forever." "You have very little trust in me as yet, but it will increase as you turn more and more often to me instead of your ego for guidance." "Learning through rewards is more effective than learning through pain, because pain is an ego illusion and can never induce more than a temporary effect. The rewards of God, however, are immediately recognized as eternal.

Workbook:

Lesson 31

"I am not the victim of the world I see."

I am wary of this lesson because it is stated in the negative, yet it is still an effective tool. Because it has truth to it.
