No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth.

                                                                     Lesson 131

Let me not seek for goals that cannot be achieved; let me not look for permanence in the impermanent, for love where there is none, for safety in the midst of danger, immortality within the darkness of the dream of death.

Let me choose a goal that lies beyond this world and every wordly thought, one that comes to me from an idea relinquished yet remembered, old yet new; an echo of a heritage forgotten, yet holding everything I really want.

Let me be glad that search I must. Let me be glad to learn I search for Heaven, and must find the goal I really want. No one can fail to want this goal and reach it in the end.

It is not possible to seek vainly, because I am God's Son. I may try to force delay, deceive myself and think that it is hell I seek. Let me find correction when I am wrong and let me be led back to my appointed task when I wander off. This is the reason I am here, for this I came and I will surely do the thing I came for. Everything I seek but this will fall away. Not because it has been taken from me, but because I do not really want it.

I will reach the goal I really want as certaintly as God created me in sinlessness.

Why wiat for Heaven?

Let me not hasten.

Let me not hold any value for this world that will hasten my journey Home.
