Lesson 83
Today let us review these ideas:
1. (65) **My only function is the one God gave me.**
²I have no function but the one God gave me. ³This recognition releases me from all conflict, because it means I cannot have conflicting goals. ⁴With one purpose only, I am always certain what to do, what to say and what to think. ⁵All doubt must disappear as I acknowledge that my only function is the one God gave me.
2. More specific applications of this idea might take these forms:
²My perception of this does not change my function.
³This does not give me a function other than the one God gave me.
⁴Let me not use this to justify a function God did not give me.
3. (66) **My happiness and my function are one.**
²All things that come from God are one. ³They come from Oneness, and must be received as one. ⁴Fulfilling my function is my happiness because both come from the same Source. ⁵And I must learn to recognize what makes me happy, if I would find happiness.
4. Some useful forms for specific applications of this idea are:
²This cannot separate my happiness from my function.
³The oneness of my happiness and my function remains wholly unaffected by this.
⁴Nothing, including this, can justify the illusion of happiness apart from my function.
