Today let us review these ideas:

W-pI.83.1. (65) My only function is the one God gave me.

² I have no function but the one God gave me. ³ This recognition releases me from all conflict, because it means I cannot have conflicting goals. ⁴ With one purpose only, I am always certain what to do, what to say and what to think. ⁵ All doubt must disappear as I acknowledge that my only function is the one God gave me.

W-pI.83.2. More specific applications of this idea might take these forms:

² My perception of this does not change my function.
³ This does not give me a function other than the one God gave me.
⁴ Let me not use this to justify a function God did not give me.

W-pI.83.3. (66) My happiness and my function are one.

² All things that come from God are one. ³ They come from Oneness, and must be received as one. ⁴ Fulfilling my function is my happiness because both come from the same Source. ⁵ And I must learn to recognize what makes me happy, if I would find happiness.

W-pI.83.4. Some useful forms for specific applications of this idea are:

² This cannot separate my happiness from my function.
³ The oneness of my happiness and my function remains wholly unaffected by this.
⁴ Nothing, including this, can justify the illusion of happiness apart from my function.
