Lesson 100“My part is essential to God’s plan for salvation.” Just as God’s Son completes his Father, so your part in it completes your Father’s plan. Salvation must reverse the mad belief in separate thoughts and separate bodies which lead separate lives and go their separate ways. One function shared by separate minds unites them in one purpose, for each one of them is equally essential to them all. God’s Will for you is perfect happiness. Why should you choose to go against His Will? The part that He has saved for you to take in working out His plan is given you that you might be restored to what He wills. This part is as essential to His plan as to your happiness. Your joy must be complete to make His plan be understood by those to whom He sends you. They will see their function in your shining face, and hear God calling to them in your happy laugh. You are indeed essential to God’s plan. Without your joy His joy is incomplete. Without your smile the world cannot be saved. While you are sad the light which God Himself appointed as the means to save the world is dim and lusterless. And no-one laughs because all laughter can but echo yours. You are indeed essential to God’s plan. Just as your light increases every light that shines in Heaven, so your joy on earth calls to all minds to let their sorrows go, and take their place beside you in God’s plan. God’s messengers are joyous, and their joy heals sorrow and despair. They are the proof that God wills perfect happiness for all who will accept their Father’s gifts as theirs. We will not let ourselves be sad today. For if we do, we fail to take the part that is essential to God’s plan, as well as to our vision. Sadness is the sign that you would play another part, instead of what has been assigned to you by God. Thus do you fail to show the world how great the happiness He wills for you. And so you do not recognize that it is yours. Today we will attempt to understand joy is our function here. If you are sad your part is unfulfilled, and all the world is thus deprived of joy, along with you. God asks that you be happy, so the world can see how much He loves His Son, and wills no sorrow rises to abate his joy; no fear besets him to disturb his peace. You are God’s messenger today. You bring His happiness to all you look upon; His peace to everyone who looks on you, and sees His message in your happy face. We will prepare ourselves for this today in our five minute practice periods, by feeling happiness arise in us according to our Father’s will and ours. Begin the exercises with the thought today’s idea contains. Then realize your part is to be happy. Only this is asked of you or anyone who wants to take his place among God’s messengers. Think what this means. You have indeed been wrong in your belief that sacrifice is asked. You but receive according to God’s plan, and never lose or sacrifice or die. Now let us try to find that joy which proves to us and all the world God’s Will for us. It is your function that you find it here, and that you find it now. For this you came. Let this one be the day that you succeed! Look deep within you, undismayed by all the little thoughts and foolish goals you pass as you ascend to meet the Christ in you. He will be there. And you will reach Him now. What could you rather look upon in place of Him who waits that you may look on Him? What little thought has power to hold you back? What foolish goal can keep you from success when He Who calls to you is God Himself? He will be there. You are essential to His plan. You are His messenger today. And you must find what He would have you give. Do not forget the idea for today between your longer practice periods. It is your Self who calls to you today. And it is Him you answer every time you tell yourself you are essential to God’s plan for the salvation of the world.  “

Helen Schucman ~ Scribe of A Course in Miracles

Be still, my soul, and rest upon the Lord In quiet certainty. For He has come To rescue you from doubt. And now you stand In blazing glory of a risen sun That cannot set. It will forever be Exactly as it is. You stand with Him Within a radiance prepared for you Before time was and far beyond its reach. Be still and know. And knowing, be you sure Your Lord has come to you. There is no doubt That stands before His countenance, nor can Conceal from you what He would have you see. The sun has risen. He has come at last. Where stands his Presence there can be no past. Be still, my soul, and rest upon the Lord Who comes to keep the promise of His Word. ~FEBRUARY 11, 1974 MUSIC by Martin Weber-Caspers [maz] Maz SINGS Helen’s poem beautifully, and sets it to his MUSIC.

[As it appears in the July 2011 Newsletter]

Dear Family! We are grateful for this communication and space. On our shared journey with A Course in Miracles, in which co-healing on earth is central, we have learned to regard everything through the Spiritual Eye of Divine Orchestration. Music and Painting is our way to channelize and access our Soul’s very essence, express co-creatively and share on a more abstract level than words or language could do. Language, however, is music too although its content points more easily to specifics. For this newsletter we are guided to share some jewels from our co-creative endeavors. We have noticed there is an experiential knowledge of what we had first grasped as concepts and specific methods, and it is taking place more frequently. Driven by the desire to deepen our understanding of the Holy Instant, of non-reciprocal Revelations and the workings of the Spiritual Eye, we want to share some of our music and paintings in that order. We are mightily blessed in sharing and increasing the awareness of fearless Atonement in these times of massive celestial-speed-up. ~*~ ~ A Little Song of Gratitude to Him Who Leads the Sonship ~ Our journey began with Jesus appearing to us in numerous ways. The most profound encounter was his portrait appearing on a blue summer sky, in the volcanic area of the Eifel in West Germany. The Bible and also other transmissions before the Course, i.e. through Jacob Lorber, mentioned such an event and Ankie captured his appearance very accurately. This painting will soon be available as a print, in limited quantities. The Song’s lyrics are written by the late Michael Garneaud from London, called “His Face.” Thanks to Kemal Sumer for his gift of a guitar to play this on. Yoshua by Ankie Caspers ~*~ ~The Glorious Re-entry into Full Communion with the Creator~ After years of practicing the Course, with its practical down to earth instructions for miracles and for healing, listening, learning and doing, the aspect of the involuntary experience of Grace as Revelation dawned in our lives. Jesus says that the time is already set by each of us. This composition is given me to share in the spirit of readiness. It reflects the experience in a way that I could relate to it from stillness, joy and devotion. It is a meditational but ecstatic “ticket” and invitation to that state. May “Sunlit” join us by miracles and gladden our Souls in either glad anticipation or gratitude of preparation. “SunLit” by Ankie Caspers ~*~ ~ Honoring Our Ancestors and Healing the Residues of the Unforgiving Mind~ http://www.dnalovelf.org/freeatlast/walburgata.htm This album was recorded at the place of baptism for my brothers, my sisters and myself, on a spot that was sanctified by the old Celts around three to five thousand years ago, in the Rheinland. I was guided to spend some time there to be a channel on the new organ. Much of family history is associated with this very attractive and modest catholic church. Walburga was a daring missionary from England who came to Europe and is famous for building a nun’s monastery right next to a monk’s monastery. Now, how about that for a co-creative communal closeness! For those who enjoy organ improvisations, and for all loved ones who went before us, I was very much inspired and moved during the recording and felt time collapse and the pipes represent the inner emptiness so God could play His Themes through form; His Call for all of us as One, as a Sonship to be restored. Also, it represents total integration of past and an influence to live fully in the Present. ~*~ ~ Sign of the Times ~ http://www.dnalovelf.org/freeatlast/flevoambassy.htm As the Sonship evolves in learning and returns within with a process called “restoration”, we learn a lot about the unified purpose and the universal curriculum. We think to have understood that for all times, mankind has understood one thought as the central and timeless guide for behavior. Now that the ancient prophecies of homecoming come into fruition it is good to review the scriptures of the world and find in them all, the Golden Rule. The composition of “FlevoART Ambassy” and accompanying instrumental, meditative compositions invite you to listen to the Golden rule. This composition features music from 14 World traditions whose scriptures all contain the Golden Rule which is so basic, so powerful and so needed as a guide for human interaction. ~*~ *Maz is currently the voice for the Original Edition [OE] of A Course In Miracles, produced by SonShipRadio.

“Spiritual Eye” by Ankie Caspers

Commentary by Ankie’s husband, maz weber-caspers: ”Ankie Caspers painted this portrait. She captured the image that we saw on a blue sky, as a giant cloud formation, with no other clouds anywhere, unmoving and serene for hours, shortly before our elder brother sent us the Course. She spent one night in her studio, with three candles as her lightning, joyful and full of Love and conscious of his presence. The next day she knew she was not to touch the painting again, as she Knew that it was finished. (approx. 45 inches hight) The “Spiritual Eye” light happened when an agnostic atheist friend took a picture while he was so inspired by the painting. It obviously comes from the reflection of the flashlight from his Camera, as it is not part of the painting. Maybe one day, if that is God’s Will, we could make prints of it and share it with others. Everyone who enters our home and looks at this painting is very obvioulsy touched in a very positive way.  His care is endless and he never leaves anyone comfortless.”

TRANSLATIONHi dear Course students,

In the very beginning of learning from the Course (lesson 5) and after one entire year of avoiding the big Book and reading all kinds of commentary, the threshold to the material was lowered considerably by the audio-book of Sonship-Radio, so that I just listened in to check it out. And suddenly, I was into the Course, just like that, and I knew that I will take it.

Hallo liebe Kurslernende,

ich fange gerade an (Lektion 5), den Kurs zu lernen, nachdem ich ein Jahr um das Thema herumgeschlichen bin und alle möglichen Bücher drumherum gelesen habe, das dicke blaue Buch aber gemieden habe. Nun wurde die Anfangsschwelle durch die Hörbuchversionen bei Sonship-Radio immens herabgesetzt, sodass ich einfach mal so zur Probe reingehört habe. Und dann war ich drin im Kurs, einfach so und wusste, dass ich ihn machen werde.[...]
