No one can look upon what your grievances conceal. \u00b2Because your grievances are hiding the light of the world in you, everyone stands in darkness, and you beside him. \u00b3But as the veil of your grievances is lifted, you are released with him. \u2074Share your salvation now with him who stood beside you when you were in hell. \u2075He is your brother in the light of the world that saves you both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">2. Today let us make another real attempt to reach the light in you. \u00b2Before we undertake this in our more extended practice period, let us devote several minutes to thinking about what we are trying to do. \u00b3We are literally attempting to get in touch with the salvation of the world. \u2074We are trying to see past the veil of darkness that keeps it concealed. \u2075We are trying to let the veil be lifted, and to see the tears of God\u2019s Son disappear in the sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">3. Let us begin our longer practice period today with the full realization that this is so, and with real determination to reach what is dearer to us than all else. \u00b2Salvation is our only need. \u00b3There is no other purpose here, and no other function to fulfill. \u2074Learning salvation is our only goal. \u2075Let us end the ancient search today by finding the light in us, and holding it up for everyone who searches with us to look upon and rejoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">4. Very quietly now, with your eyes closed, try to let go of all the content that generally occupies your consciousness. \u00b2Think of your mind as a vast circle, surrounded by a layer of heavy, dark clouds. \u00b3You can see only the clouds because you seem to be standing outside the circle and quite apart from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">5. From where you stand, you can see no reason to believe there is a brilliant light hidden by the clouds. \u00b2The clouds seem to be the only reality. \u00b3They seem to be all there is to see. \u2074Therefore, you do not attempt to go through them and past them, which is the only way in which you would be really convinced of their lack of substance. \u2075We will make this attempt today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">6. After you have thought about the importance of what you are trying to do for yourself and the world, try to settle down in perfect stillness, remembering only how much you want to reach the light in you today,\u2014now! \u00b2Determine to go past the clouds. \u00b3Reach out and touch them in your mind. \u2074Brush them aside with your hand; feel them resting on your cheeks and forehead and eyelids as you go through them. \u2075Go on; clouds cannot stop you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">7. If you are doing the exercises properly, you will begin to feel a sense of being lifted up and carried ahead. \u00b2Your little effort and small determination call on the power of the universe to help you, and God Himself will raise you from darkness into light. \u00b3You are in accord with His Will. \u2074You cannot fail because your will is His.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">8. Have confidence in your Father today, and be certain that He has heard you and answered you. \u00b2You may not recognize His answer yet, but you can indeed be sure that it is given you and you will yet receive it. \u00b3Try, as you attempt to go through the clouds to the light, to hold this confidence in your mind. \u2074Try to remember that you are at last joining your will to God\u2019s. \u2075Try to keep the thought clearly in mind that what you undertake with God must succeed. \u2076Then let the power of God work in you and through you, that His Will and yours be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">9. In the shorter practice periods, which you will want to do as often as possible in view of the importance of today\u2019s idea to you and your happiness, remind yourself that your grievances are hiding the light of the world from your awareness. \u00b2Remind yourself also that you are not searching for it alone, and that you do know where to look for it. \u00b3Say, then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><sup>4<\/sup>My grievances hide the light of the world in me. <sup>5<\/sup>I cannot see what I have hidden. <sup>6<\/sup>Yet I want to let it be revealed to me, for my salvation and the salvation of the world.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><sup>7<\/sup>Also, be sure to tell yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>8<\/sup>If I hold this grievance the light of the world will be hidden from me,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">if you are tempted to hold anything against anyone today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Welkom by Hemelbewus \u2013 (A Course in Miracles) in Afrikaans\" width=\"676\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9p2rK2fVLCg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2728 Inspired by the core message of the Course:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"Nothing real can be threatened.
