Lesson 259

W-pII.259.1. Sin is the only thought that makes the goal of God seem unattainable. ² What else could blind us to the obvious, and make the strange and the distorted seem more clear? ³ What else but sin engenders our attacks? ⁴ What else but sin could be the source of guilt, demanding punishment and suffering? ⁵ And what but sin could be the source of fear, obscuring God's creation; giving love the attributes of fear and of attack?

W-pII.259.2. Father, I would not be insane today. ² I would not be afraid of love, nor seek for refuge in its opposite. ³ For love can have no opposite. ⁴ You are the Source of everything there is. ⁵ And everything that is remains with You, and You with it.
