PUPIL: Would it not be a good idea for us to frequently refer back to the lesson on "Desire, a Divine Impulse" when there is any confusion of mind about desires?

MASTER: Yes, that is recommended; in fact I trust that you will frequently review all of the Lessons of this Course. And I devoutly wish that you would earnestly try to make god first in your heart, and mind, and soul, and daily and hourly life. If you will, it will mean for you a life of supreme self-freedom and truly you will make of yourself a reflection of God's own idea who is the perfected you. To this end I recommend the following, all of which I urge you to memorize, letter perfect. I also URGE you to use and use and yet again use these points and affirmations, faithfully and regularly. Here they are: For daily, Systematic, Loving Use: Your hourly effort should be that of fully realizing your true place in the Great Plan of Life. Just what is this true place for each individual?

It is, as Trowardtaught me, the following three things:

• 1. worship of God Alone;
• 2. The absolute equality of all individuals;
• 3. Complete control of all else.

Affirmations:

• 1. I AM intelligent, Loving Spirit, living in Creative Love and Power! In Him do i live and move and have my whole being!
• 2. I AM a specialized part of God's own Self-Manifestation! God IS specialized in me; therefore I AM perfect Harmony!
• 3. I AM direct knowledge of All Truth! I AM perfect Intuition! I AM Spiritual perception at its fullness! There is but One Wisdom; therefore I AM Perfect Wisdom!
• 4. My mind is a center of divine operation; therefore I AM always thinking good thoughts, speaking only constructive words! Time is Eternal; God is the only Giver! His Loving Intelligence is continually working in and through me; hence I AM ever working correctly. I AM thinking the right thoughts, in the right way, at the right time, towards the right result! God's work in and through me is always well done!
• 5. I AM Specialized Spirit! I AM always receiving rich, powerful inspirations from the Great, Universal, Parent Spirit. Divine Intelligence is always thinking new, fresh, clear ideas through me, ones far beyond any I have ever known before. My prayers are the outflow of the Great Oversoul of the Universe. They go forth in His Name; and always they accomplish that for which I send them. God is glorifying himself in and through me now!
