The shortest lesson

Lesson 48 " There is nothing to fear" has little room to play a game of hide and seek. Its ideas are simply an expression to breathe a sigh of relief.

The idea for today simply states a fact. It is not a fact to those who believe in illusions, but illusions are not facts.

Even when Jesus entered behind closed doors at Easter:
He spoke these two simple words" Fear Not"

Not a lenghty discusion as to the why's and not's of the idea of fear but a direct instruction. Oh Boy how easy does it get when I want that peace of mind. That touch of another world.

Fear not to recognize the whole idea of sacrifice as solely of your making. And seek not safety by attempting to protect yourself from where it is not. Your brothers and your Father have become very fearful to you.

And you would bargain with them for a few special relationships, in which you think you see some scraps of safety. Do not try longer to keep apart your thoughts and the Thought that has been given you.

When they are brought together and perceived where they are, the choice between them is nothing more than a gentle awakening, and as simple as opening your eyes to daylight when you have no more need of sleep.
