VIII. Choose Once Again
“To Have All, Give All To All”
1. Temptation has one lesson it would teach, in all its forms, wherever it occurs. ²It would persuade (you), the holy Son of God, he is a body, born in what must die, unable to escape its frailty, and bound by what it orders him to feel. ³It sets the limits on what he can do; its power is the only strength he has; his grasp cannot exceed its tiny reach.
⁴Would you be this, if Christ appeared to you in all His glory, asking you but this:
⁵Choose once again if you would take your place among the saviors of the world, or would remain in hell, and hold your brothers there.
⁶For He has come, and He is asking this.
2. How do you make the choice? ²How easily is this explained! ³You always choose between your weakness and the strength of Christ in you. ⁴And what you choose is what you think is real. ⁵Simply by never using weakness to direct your actions, you have given it no power. ⁶And the light of Christ in you is given charge of everything you do. ⁷For you have brought your weakness unto Him, and He has given you His strength instead.
3. Trials are but lessons that you failed to learn presented once again, so where you made a faulty choice before you now can make a better one, and thus escape all pain that what you chose before has brought to you. ²In every difficulty, all distress, and each perplexity Christ calls to you and gently says, “My brother, choose again.” ³He would not leave one source of pain unhealed, nor any image left to veil the truth. ⁴He would remove all misery from you whom God created altar unto joy. ⁵He would not leave you comfortless, alone in dreams of hell, but would release your mind from everything that hides His face from you. ⁶His Holiness is yours because He is the only power that is real in you. ⁷His strength is yours because He is the Self that God created as His only Son.
4. The images you make cannot prevail against what God Himself would have you be. ²Be never fearful of temptation, then, but see it as it is; another chance to choose again, and let Christ’s strength prevail in every circumstance and every place you raised an image of yourself before. ³For what appears to hide the face of Christ is powerless before His majesty, and disappears before His holy sight. ⁴The saviors of the world, who see like Him, are merely those who choose His strength instead of their own weakness, seen apart from Him. ⁵They will redeem the world, for they are joined in all the power of the Will of God. ⁶And what they will is only what He wills.
5. Learn, then, the happy habit of response to all temptation to perceive yourself as weak and miserable with these words:
²I am as God created me. ³His Son can suffer nothing. ⁴And I am His Son.
⁵Thus is Christ’s strength invited to prevail, replacing all your weakness with the strength that comes from God and that can never fail. ⁶And thus are miracles as natural as fear and agony appeared to be before the choice for holiness was made. ⁷For in that choice are false distinctions gone, illusory alternatives laid by, and nothing left to interfere with truth.
6. You are as God created you, and so is every living thing you look upon, regardless of the images you see. ²What you behold as sickness and as pain, as weakness and as suffering and loss, is but temptation to perceive yourself defenseless and in hell. ³Yield not to this, and you will see all pain, in every form, wherever it occurs, but disappear as mists before the sun. ⁴A miracle has come to heal God’s Son, and close the door upon his dreams of weakness, opening the way to his salvation and release. ⁵Choose once again what you would have him be, remembering that every choice you make establishes your own identity as you will see it and believe it is…”

Brothers & sisters, All hell, suffering, disease & ‘death’ 💀🪦came from one tiny mad idea: our collective separation/ego😈 DREAM seemed REAL as fuck! (as all dreams do when you’re IN them and not yet awoken FROM them).
We dreamed a nightmare that we had usurped God’s — our Universal Father of Love’s — perfect Unity we share equally as one universal Sonship in our one universal Christ Mind. Instead of being the Eternal Light of the World — unlimited and always — we dreamt of being tiny, excrementing, changing body pixels in this video game that squeaked for an insignificant moment before returning to dust/nothingness.
Thank our Universal Father — It never happened! Call no one Father but our Universal Father within. Only in dreams did it appear to happen. Thank God — nothing happened!
It is easy to forgive something that never happened (daydream or nightmare) rather than fake ego “forgiveness” that tries to overlook something real. That just doesn’t work — it’s an ego delay tactic to keep us trapped as squeaking excrementing pixels that wither and fade out in an insignificant amount of time.
Jesus teaches: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)
And in His new guide to awaken, A Course in Miracles: “You are at home in God, dreaming of exile but perfectly capable of awakening to reality.” (T-10.I.2:1)
Forgive the dream! Laugh away the illusion, the tiny mad idea of separation.. Nothing real can be hurt.
We are the Eternal Egoless Light of the World — already safe at Home in Oneness.
Forgive it all today. Holy Shift.
Come home by awakening, not by death. For “Rest in Peace” comes from awakening from the dream, not death/recycling in more useless dream forms/experiences.
Choose once again.
Thank God!
By sharing this you receive this for as you sow; so shall you reap
