As a veteran myself, this is a slap in the face and the other piece that not a lot of people are talking about is that the military uses educational benefits as a key recruiting tool. I feel like we've reached the Joker phase of the Biden presidency. All we're lacking now is the face paint and a purple suit. He's riding a parade float down Pennsylvania Avenue just tossing money out the window here. The day I got elected to the Senate, I had over $100,000 still in student loans and I was able to pay off because I wrote a book and from that money I was able to pay it and I would never, I'd still be paying it. There is a real risk if you are that slacker barista who wasted seven years in college studying completely useless things, now has loans and can't get a job, Joe Biden just gave you 20 grand. Like holy cow, 20 grand. Maybe you weren't going to vote in November and suddenly you just got 20 grand and if you can, you know, get off the bong for a minute and head down to the voting station or just send in your mail-in ballot that the Democrats have helpfully sent you. It could drive up turnout, particularly among young people. Oh no, Joe Biden doing good things for working class Americans could drive up turnout. Whatever will we do? I mean, I don't know, Ted Cruz, what if the Republican Party proposed their own student debt cancellation plan that's better than Joe Biden's? Maybe you all could help drive up turnout. Instead, no. They don't want to do anything. They just complain when Democrats take small steps to help people. See, Republicans couldn't care less about your debt.  But Democrats, they mostly do the same thing. But from time to time, they will throw working people a bone and whenever they do that, knowing that it's popular, Republicans freak out and Republicans, they could just try to, I don't know, appeal to these bong-smoking student debt holders but instead they choose to attack them. Just truly despicable, letting them know how much they hate working class Americans who will benefit from this very popular program. Now, what I'm noticing is that the student debt arguments is becoming somehow even dumber because what we previously heard from people who were opposed to this was just that, well, isn't this a little bit unfair that you're making some plumber who didn't go to college pay for the student debt of some Ivy League graduate? I mean, if you're rich, you're not going to have student debt by definition because you wouldn't take that out unless you need the student loans. But we've heard that argument and now it seems like the liberals who are opposed to this, they've adopted that argument and the Republican argument against student debt just broadly speaking has become overall dumber. So you saw Marco Rubio say, well look, I had student debt when I became a senator and I wrote a book. Oh well, dummy, why didn't I just think of that?  You could pay off your student debt like that.  I mean, these people are not living in reality and then we had Scott Jennings, that's the Bush administration official, who claimed that Biden went Joker mode over student debt cancellation. Okay, and I just love one representative, Michael Walts, admitted that this is going to hurt military recruitment because how dare you get free college or have your college paid for unless you risk your life and possibly die so we can send you overseas to fight in one of our wars that is very profitable for our defense contractor donors. I mean, this is what they're saying. They think this is compelling to average Americans. It's not and I have the data to reflect that, but I just want to be clear. This isn't just Republicans who are bemoaning Biden cancelling student debt. They have the dumbest arguments for sure, but liberals are also against it as well. Not all liberals, it seems like they're 50-50 split, maybe 60-40. I'm not necessarily sure with the 60% supporting it, but overall, liberal politicians, liberal pundits also don't seem too thrilled about this case in point. Well, it's bad policy as well as bad politics. For that amount of money, you could fund free pre-K for every three- and four-year-old for 10 years. You do a lot more good for poor people, communities of color, and the underprivileged by doing pre-K. You could forgive all medical debt, which, unlike student debt, is not freely entered into.   In 2018, you tweeted, quote, student debt is out of control. If we can bail out the banks who did everything wrong, we can help out the students who did everything right. Isn't that what President Biden's policy is trying to do? Again, I mean, we're not saying that there's not a significant burden here. The cost of college is outrageous, but there's nothing in here to control that cost. And again, I think we can get a significant way down the road by allowing them to renegotiate down the interest rates and put some money into their pocket. And again, there's a lot of other people out here that, you know, are doing everything right as well. So if it's part of a broader package, we could certainly talk about it. That's why I think a tax cut for all working people or medical debt, which isn't directly linked to somebody who goes to college. I mean, I think we've got to have a broader package here, and I would certainly support something like that, but I think the general tax cuts the best way to go. Yeah. So the common theme with liberals who are opposed to this is to not necessarily say dumb things, but just be more disingenuous, pretend as if you're flanking or outflanking Biden from the left, and supporting more things that are good. So don't support student debt cancellation because you could support this other good thing. Okay, first of all, I'm all for it. Why can't we do both? Paul Begala pointed out, you know, for that amount of money, you could fund free pre-K for every three and four-year-old for 10 years. You could forgive all medical debt. Great, let's do that then.  That is so disingenuous because, first of all, I support medical debt forgiveness, but Paul Begala knows that the president can't really just do that. It's more complicated. The reason why Biden can cancel student debt with the stroke of a pen is because the federal government holds most student debt, but when it comes to medical debt, who holds medical debt? It's private insurance companies. Now, if Paul Begala wants to join me in calling for them to all be abolished, then, you know, that's one way we can tackle it. If those, you know, blood-sucking health insurance companies no longer exist, then the government can take action. There can be a bill to demand the cancellation of all medical debt. Make sure that that's written in law, but he's saying, oh, we'll see how Biden is canceling student debt, but not medical debt. He doesn't think that your medical debt is as important, so what he's trying to do pretty transparently is pit working class people against each other, pit student debt holders against medical debt holders. When medical debt is absolutely egregious as well, then we should get rid of all of these perverted predatory debts that the American people are plagued with, but he wouldn't support that. If Biden proposed, you know, some type of plan or told Congress to get him a single-payer healthcare bill, it'd never happen, but get him a single-payer healthcare bill to his desk, do you want to know who would be against that? Paul Begala, and yet he's pretending to care about medical debt. No, all of these disgusting debts should be canceled. And Ryan, you know, he, just a couple of years ago, supported, you know, student debt alleviation, but now he's against it.  But he also once supported Medicare for All, but then when he ran for president in 2020, he came out against it and claimed that even though he cosponsored that legislation, he would have voted against it if, you know, for a vote. So, I don't know what people like Tim Ryan are doing. He is in a contested race against J. D. Vance, who was a psychopath.  But yet, Tim Ryan, it's like he's trying to lose. He's trying to go against what is the most popular. Now, these liberals claim that it's bad policy, bad politics, Paul Begala especially, well, let's take a look at that actually, because we have some data to back up my argument, not his. As Truth Out writes, Biden's rating hits highest point in months after student debt plan announcement. Now, Sharon Zhang explains, CBS Yuga of polling released on Sunday shows that Biden's job rating among registered voters is now at 45% up from 42% in July. Overall, 20% of respondents said they strongly approve of Biden's performance, while 25% said they somewhat approve. The poll was taken between August 24th and 26th. Biden announced the plan midday on the 24th, meaning that some respondents may have answered the survey before the announcement. This is the highest the president's approval has been since February, according to CBS and Yuga. Most of the gain came from Democrats with the amount of Democrats who say they strongly approve of Biden's job performance increasing by 8 points since July. He's also seen gains among young people, among whom his approval is now in the positives. So just pause for a moment. Biden has been struggling to win over young people. We've seen all the headlines about how he's sinking with regard to young people. And now that he finally does something to deliver for mostly young people, well, he's seeing his approval rating increase. Now, it's correlated with student debt cancellation, but we don't necessarily know if it's caused by student debt cancellation, but it's logical to assume that that is indeed the case. But now all of these same outlets who wrote about how Biden is struggling with young voters are posting columns about how bad his student debt cancellation plan is. The entire Washington Post editorial board came out against this plan. So they're all against it. But yet polls show it's very popular.  Only 21% of 18 to 34-year-olds think that his plan was too giving, indicating that they don't support it, compared to the 79% of 18 to 34-year-olds who either say it didn't go far enough or was just right, indicating that they are supportive of student debt cancellation. Now, between 35 and 49-year-olds, only 27% say that it's too much, 37% want him to go even further, 35% say that it's just right. 50 to 64-year-olds, a plurality, say that it's too much, but still nearly a quarter of boomers at 23% say that it doesn't go far enough, and 37% support Biden's action. Now, finally and unsurprisingly, people 65 and older do not support this. A majority are against it, but yet still 48% show some level of support for debt cancellation, with 16% saying that it doesn't go far enough. So this policy is broadly popular and it has support among the entire voting demographic. So for these people, like Paul Bogala, who claim that it's bad politics, they're just lying at this point. They're just lying. And look, these polls are just recent, but polls have consistently shown majority support for student debt cancellation, even a lot of support among Republicans and especially younger Republicans.  Yeah, this could actually motivate people to come out to the polls, but liberals are disingenuous to claiming, actually, people are going to be really mad about this. No, actually, I cannot stand Joe Biden. I supported Bernie Sanders in 2020, but I support this move. And even if he didn't go far enough, him canceling $20,000 worth of my student debt, that makes me want to support him even more, at least temporarily, just because these GOP fuckheads and some liberals are coming out against him. And that's what they're going to do.  Maybe the mainstream media isn't representative of the general public.  I want to share with Bernie Sanders and Nina Turner, I had to say, especially Nina Turner, because she basically addressed all of the talking points that we've seen and with both of them. What they have to say is incredibly valuable and most importantly, they're correct. I know it is shocking, George, the some Republicans, that the government actually, on occasion, does something to benefit working families and low-income people. I don't hear any of these Republicans squawking when we give massive tax breaks to billionaires when we have an effective tax rate today, such at the 1% a lower effective tax rate than working people. We have major corporations and they're giving you don't pay a nickel in federal taxes. That's okay. But suddenly, when we do something for working people, it is a terrible idea. I was in Boston last week and I was talking to nurses and these nurses were telling me that they are working, in some cases, two jobs, outrageous hours, partly in order to pay for the student debts that they have accumulated. So in my view, the president did the right thing and we have got to be really thinking about higher education in general. And in my view, at a time when hundreds of thousands of bright young people can't even afford to go to college, if we're going to be competitive in a global economy, we need to make public colleges and universities tuition-free. And listen, the $10,000 worth of forgiveness that President Biden just recently announced, it's a great start, but it is not the end, it's the floor, it's not the ceiling. And even as we know, the stats that you just displayed, the average debt for African-Americans, particularly African-American women, $52,000, the average white student between $8,000 and $12,000, that $10,000 hardly meets the need. So it is structural in nature and it needs to be changed. So this is a small step, but it is a step nonetheless. How far will this new program help, do you think? So, it means tested, that means that you're leaving a whole bunch of people out and it should be canceling student debt for all so that nobody is left out, so that no one feels as though they did not get the relief that they deserve. It is hurting working class and working poor. And we know many students who start college don't even finish. So when you have people like the GOP using the working class, most people go to college, a lot of their children go to college. Why? Because they're trying to obtain the American dream and that is being doused because this debt is so you just can't keep up. You know, I've heard stories of people paying on this debt over and over and over again and they can't catch up because the interest rates, people owe more, a lot of people owe more because of the interest rates but the structure in this country needs to be changed and it can be changed. Let me just jump in because you talked about the Republicans' response to this.  Why should these guys get a freebie and perhaps cynically just before midterms?  The people who actually didn't go to college there, they're now paying with their taxes for student loans, they never got. So what do you say to that? Taxes are not going up over this.  That's number one, that somebody's taxes are going up. Number two, this us versus them is the problem. In the United States of America we pay for K through 12 education. So for example, my son is no longer in high school. But guess what? My property taxes still go to pay for the education of somebody else's child. Why? Because it is indeed a public good. So we need a total paradigm shift in this country to go from pre-K to college as a public good as a social right. And then lastly, for Senator Mitch McConnell, I didn't hear all of this bravado when it came to the PPP loans being relieved. I didn't hear all of this bravado when it came to the Trump tax cuts that went overwhelmingly to the wealthiest people of this country to the tune of 1.9 trillion dollars. We have an opportunity in this country to give relief to 45 million people and their family and their closest friends. Why wouldn't we make that kind of investment? So that divide and conquer tactic that the GOP is using. I'm hoping that the American people will not buy into it because it's not us versus them. We are them and it is all of us. As Nina Turner pointed out, we need a paradigm shift, right? Even though maybe we don't have kids that go to school, our property taxes still benefit public education. Even if, you know, I am not going to drive on every single road in the state of Oregon, I'm fine with my tax dollars going towards roads. We live in a society where this is just part of the social contract. We pull our resources to build a better country and the paradigm shift is needed so that we don't think about education as just being K through 12. We think about education as being K through college because that's what's needed since a majority of employers require a college degree in this day and time. So to, you know, attack people and further punish them for trying to better themselves is incredibly disgusting. So shame on all of the Republicans, shame on all of the liberals against this, people like Bernie Sanders and Nina Turner are 100% correct. This is not just good policy, it's good politics as well.


My name is Brendan Chepard and I'm a software engineer working for Red Hat on the Triple-O project. I'm excited to give you an update of what we've been working on over the last 12 months and what we have in the pipeline moving forward. Triple-O is a deployment tool used to orchestrate production-ready deployments of OpenStack. Triple-O leverages a combination of OpenStack projects and Ansible to define your infrastructure as code and orchestrate the deployment. Triple-O is leveraged for deployments of Red Hat OpenStack platform. Our work over the last 12 months has really focused on perfecting some of the simplification changes that we've made over the last few cycles. We've chosen to focus on specific releases, not releasing a new version of Triple-O for each release of OpenStack. Our currently supported releases are Wallaby and Zed. This allows us to focus on the areas that are important for our users and increases the CI coverage we have for key features. We've worked to optimize the overall deployment process with the highlights really landing in three main areas. Those themes for us are ephemeral heat, a simplified undercloud, and a more modular deployment process. The ephemeral heat initiative allows us to continue leveraging heat and the templates our users are familiar with while working to reduce some of the complexity and overhead that come with managing such a large and complex heat stack. With this feature, we now start the heat service, process the user templates, and output artifacts onto the local file system in the form of Ansible playbooks and group variables. These artifacts are stored in a local Git repository where each deployment creates a commit that can then be tracked over time. The playbooks are then used by Ansible to orchestrate the deployment of your OpenStack cloud. The benefit here being that we no longer need to work with heat stack updates, and this reduces the complexity of solving issues should a mistake be made during that stack update process. Storing the artifacts in a Git repository means that it's easy to compare the differences between what was previously deployed and what has changed with the latest deployment, simplifying the process of validating your changes between deployments. A simplified under cloud, leveraging OpenStack projects to deploy OpenStack has served us well, but it has proven to be overkill at times, leading to higher resource utilization and increased complexity for our users. With the latest release of triple O, we've worked hard to simplify this and only use services that make sense for our use case. This has had the effect of reducing resource utilization and complexity of our under cloud director node. Some of the services that we have removed include Mistral, Zakaar, Nova, Swift and Glance, while we still continue to leverage Heat, Ironic, Neutron and Keystone. A new and more modular deployment process, triple O has traditionally relied on a fairly monolithic approach to deploying the cloud, whereby we would create the heat stack and do everything from provisioning the nodes and networks to rolling out services and configuration. The new modular deployment process allows us to break that up into steps that are easier to manage and troubleshoot. For example, the two most likely places new deployments would fail are during the node provisioning and during network provisioning of those nodes. When this failed during our monolithic deployment, it could take 10 to 15 minutes for that failure to occur. Now, users are able to run each of these steps independently and fail faster while they're tweaking these crucial configurations. This means our users can now be more confident in the over cloud deployment succeeding since the fundamentals are already in place before they start. Our focus for this release, we've really focused on honing these simplification efforts to ensure the best possible user experience. This means making things more efficient and easier to troubleshoot when things do go wrong. As part of this effort, we've worked closely with our CI tools and teams to ensure these new changes are adequately tested and multiple scenarios are executed for every patch. We've worked with the teams behind triple O Quickstart and the Infrared project to extend these tools and features. We've also focused on moving our deployments from CentOS 8 stream to CentOS 9 stream as part of our latest release. So our focus moving forward, in the coming releases, we aim to continue these efforts and move towards modularity rather than monocity. These efforts include working with multiple versions of the operating system, moving bespoke playbooks out of triple O heat templates and into targeted Ansible roles, and optimizing our updates and upgrade process in support of these goals. We want to make our framework easily consumable by other projects that may wish to leverage the work that we've done. An example of this is the OSP director operator, which is used to deploy OpenStack from a container native pod running in Kubernetes. We will continue working to improve the updates and upgrade process in line with our efforts to simplify triple O and ensure software stability across versions. This includes our approach to modularity by working to ensure that upgrades can be done in stages while still providing a reliable experience for tenant workloads. Moving forward, we'd really like your help. So if you're a triple O user, I would encourage you to engage with our community by reviewing our upcoming features and specifications on our specs page. You can review our changes on review.opendev.org and you can engage with us on the OFTC network on hash triple O. Our documentation can be found in the links that are provided in this slide. And if you want to see more about any of these features I've talked about, I've made a few videos that cover each of them in a lot more detail. So feel free to check out my YouTube channel. Thanks for attending and listening to the update for the triple O project.

Peptides are components of proteins that you have in your body. The peptides that our lab focuses on are self-assembling peptides. They clump and then they actually develop to form these higher-ordered structures. I was just looking at really how they're developing, what they're developing into, and then how I can kind of modify them to direct their assembly process. I realized certain peptides, certain sequences have actually these electronic properties. He was looking for a more conductive layer for his uric acid sensor and I said that my peptides have electronic properties so we kind of on a whim tried that out. We didn't know if it would work. We were trying to figure out a method to determine if peptides could even be detecting uric acid consistently. Uric acid is a molecule that's like really clinically relevant. It's most famous cause is the gout. It's like the heart crystal that form and that causes all the pain when you walk. Peptides are good because they are biocompatible and they are not harmful to living things and so we can use them in a biological sensing scene. I've been so focused on the biochem aspect of things so this is giving me a total new perspective on the electrochem side of things. I know a lot of professors actually collaborate between the labs. They kind of help each other out but John and I came together as students and that was pretty unique to come together and make this project yourselves.


Opening up the scoring again here tonight, and this goal carried midway through the second period is. Bemidji State had the lead. Jerry Fitzgerald, an absolute bomb from Marinaccio and White Cloud on the power play. That was at the 13-33 mark. And then Zeb Knutson ends up scoring 5-on-3 for BSU in the first. 5-on-3 here for Minnesota State, and Knutson Roussounaz Monsi joins me back upstairs. Wow, this is a really nice play. Look at that quick, hard pass right down there. That's how you do it. Lean on that stick. Not a lot of angle there, yeah. Slide your stick down, and then this one, McClure, Fitzgerald, end up colliding a little bit with Wilkins, and then somehow Zach Stepman ends up getting that wrap around. Got it in, there's just a little bit of space off that post, and that is your game winner.

We continue today with Chapter 13. The Guiltless Son of God The ultimate purpose of projection is always to get rid of guilt. Yet, characteristically, the ego attempts to get rid of guilt from its viewpoint only. For much as the ego wants to retain guilt, you find it intolerable since guilt stands in the way of your remembering God. Whose pull is so strong that you cannot resist it. On this issue, then, the deepest split of all occurs. For if you are to retain guilt as the ego insists, you cannot be you. Only by persuading you that it is you could the ego possibly induce you to project guilt and thereby keep it in your mind. Yet, consider how strange a solution the ego's arrangement is. You project guilt to get rid of it, but you are actually merely concealing it. You do experience the guilt, but you have no idea why. On the contrary, you associate it with a weird assortment of, quote, ego ideals which the ego claims you have failed. Yet, you have no idea that you are failing the Son of God by seeing Him as guilty.  The darkest of your hidden cornerstones holds your belief in guilt from your awareness. For in that dark and secret place is the realization that you have betrayed God's Son by condemning Him to death. You do not even suspect this murderous but insane idea lies hidden there. For the ego's destructive urge is so intense that nothing short of the crucifixion of God's Son can ultimately satisfy it. It does not know who the Son of God is because it is blind. Yet, let it perceive guiltlessness anywhere and it will try to destroy it because it is afraid. Much of the ego's strange behavior is directly attributable to its definition of guilt. To the ego, the guiltless are guilty. Those who do not attack are its, quote, enemies because, by not valuing its interpretation of salvation, they are in an excellent position to let it go. They have approached the darkest and deepest cornerstone in the ego's foundation and while the ego can withstand your raising all else to question, it guards this one secret with its life. For its existence depends on keeping this secret. So, it is this secret that we must look upon for the ego cannot protect you against truth and in its presence the ego is dispelled. In the calm light of truth, let us recognize that you believe you have crucified God's Son. You have not admitted to this, quote, terrible secret because you would still wish to crucify Him if you could find Him. Yet, the wish has hidden Him from you because it is very fearful and so you are afraid to find Him. You have handled this wish to kill yourself by not knowing who you are and identifying with something else. You have projected guilt blindly and indiscriminately, but you have not uncovered its source. For the ego does want to kill you and if you identify with it, you must believe its goal is yours. I have said that the crucifixion is the symbolic symbol of the ego. When it was confronted with the real guiltlessness of God's Son, it did attempt to kill Him and the reason it gave was that guiltlessness is blasphemous to God. To the ego, the ego is God and guiltlessness must be interpreted as the final guilt that fully justifies murder. You do not yet understand that any fear you may experience in connection with this course stems ultimately from this interpretation. But if you will consider your reactions to it, you will become increasingly convinced that this is so. This course has explicitly stated that its goal for you is happiness and peace, yet you are afraid of it. You have been told again and again that it will set you free, yet you sometimes react as if it is trying to imprison you. You often dismiss it more readily than you dismiss the ego's thought system. To some extent then, you must believe that by not learning the course you are protecting yourself and you do not realize that it is only your guiltlessness that can protect you. The atonement has always been interpreted as the release from guilt and this is correct if it is understood. Yet even when I interpret it for you, you may reject it and do not accept it for yourself. You have perhaps recognized the futility of the ego and its offerings, but though you do not want them, you may not yet look upon the alternative with gladness.   Little child, this is not so. Your, quote, guilty secret is nothing and if you will but bring it to the light, the light will dispel it and then no dark cloud will remain between you and the remembrance of your father, for you will remember his guilty son who did not die because he is immortal and you will see that you were redeemed with him and have never been separated from him. In this understanding lies your remembering, for it is the recognition of love without fear. There will be great joy in heaven on your homecoming and the joy will be yours.  And from the workbook, lesson 95. I am one self united with my Creator. Today's idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one within yourself and one with him. Yours is the unity of all creation. Your perfect unity makes change in you impossible. You do not accept this and you fail to realize it must be so, only because you believe that you have changed yourself already.   Such is your version of yourself. A self divided into many worrying parts separate from God and tenuously held together by its erratic and capricious maker to which you pray. It does not hear your prayers for it is deaf. It does not see the oneness in you for it is blind. It does not understand you are the son of God for it is senseless and understands nothing. We will attempt today to be aware only of what can hear and see and what makes perfect sense. We will again direct our exercises towards reaching your one self which is united with its creator in patience and in hope we try again today. The use of the first five minutes of every waking hour for practicing the idea for the day has special advantages at the stage of learning in which you are present. It is difficult at this point not to allow your mind to wander if it undertakes extended practice. You have surely realized this by now. You have seen the extent of your lack of mental discipline and of your need for mind training. It is necessary that you be aware of this for it is indeed a hindrance to your advance. Frequent but shorter practice periods have other advantages for you at this time. In addition to recognizing your difficulties with sustained attention you must also have noticed that unless you are reminded of your purpose frequently you tend to forget about it for long periods of time. You often fail to remember the short applications of the idea for the day and you have not yet formed a habit of using the idea as an automatic response to temptation. Structure then is necessary for you at this time. Plan to include frequent reminders of your goal and regular attempts to reach it. Regularity in terms of time is not the ideal requirement for the most beneficial form of practice in salvation. It is advantageous, however, for those whose motivation is inconsistent and who remain heavily defended against learning. We will therefore keep to the five minutes an hour practice periods for a while and urge you to admit as few as possible. Using the first five minutes of the hour will be particularly helpful since it imposes firmer structure. Do not, however, use your lapses from this schedule as an excuse not to return to it again as soon as you can. There may well be a temptation to regard the day as lost because you have already failed to do what is required. This should, however, merely be recognized as what it is, a refusal to let your mistake be corrected, and an unwillingness to try again. The Holy Spirit is not delayed in his teaching by your mistakes. He can be held back only by your unwillingness to let them go. Let us therefore be determined, particularly for the next week or so, to be willing to forgive ourselves for our lapses in diligence and our failures to follow the instructions for practicing the day's idea. This tolerance for weakness will help us to overlook it rather than give it power to delay our learning. If we give it power to do this, we are regarding it as strength in our confusing strength with weakness. When you fail to comply with the requirements of this course, you have merely made a mistake. This calls for correction and for nothing else. To allow a mistake to continue is to make additional mistakes based on the first and reinforcing it. It is this process that must be laid aside for it is but another way in which you would defend illusions against the truth.  They are attempts to keep you unaware you are one self united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation and limitless in power and in peace. This is the truth and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth again and try to reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is true. Begin the practice periods today with this assurance offered to your mind with all the certainty that you can give. I am one self united with my Creator at one with every aspect of creation and limitless in power and in peace. Then close your eyes and tell yourself again slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to allow the meaning of the words to sink into your mind, replacing false ideas. I am one self. Repeat this several times and then attempt to feel the meaning that the words convey. You are one self united and secure in light and joy and peace. You are God's Son, one self with one Creator and one goal to bring awareness of this oneness to all minds that true creation may extend the allness and the unity of God. You are one self complete and healed and whole with power to lift the veil of darkness from the world and let the light in you come through to teach the world the truth about yourself.   Feel this one self in you and let it shine away all your illusions and all doubts. This is your self, the Son of God himself, sinless as its Creator, with his strength within you and his love for ever yours.  Do not forget today. We need your help, your little part in bringing happiness to all the world and heaven looks to you in confidence that you will try today. Share then its surety for it is yours. Be vigilant. Do not forget today. Throughout the day, do not forget your goal. Repeat today's idea as frequently as possible and understand each time you do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of truth within his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace.  Be sure to give the promise of today's idea and tell him this. You are one self with me, united with our Creator in this self. I honor you because of what I am and what he is who loves us both as one. Today, I am one self, united with my Creator. Today, I accept the guiltless Son of God. Today, I see the insanity of projection, of attempting to let go of guilt by seeing the guilt outside. Today, I recognize there is no outside. There is no inside. Everything is mind and I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts. Today, I would no longer harbor guilt. I cannot harbor guilt and accept my divine innocence. If I harbor guilt, it means I believe I have betrayed God's Son and condemned him to death. I would not hide in secret this belief in separation, this belief in crucifixion. Today, I let it arise and give it to the light of truth. I offer this secret, this hidden belief to the Holy Spirit for healing that I may accept the correction, the atonement. Today, I will no longer fear happiness and peace and joy. Today, I will not be afraid of love. Today, I am guiltless and sinless and remain this way because I was created by God. Today, I am not the author of myself. I was created by God and I am as God created me. I will let no cloud stand between the remembrance of my Father. Today, I see I am guiltless. The Son of God is innocent. I am one self, united with my Creator. This self is perfect spirit. I release all false concepts of myself that would veil the truth. Today, I accept the light of my being, the eternal nature of love that is my being. I would delay no further. I would hold on to no mistakes, forgiving all mistakes.  They are attempts to keep you unaware you are one self, united with your Creator. At one with every aspect of creation and limitless in power and in peace. This is the truth and nothing else is true. Today, we will affirm this truth again. I am one self, united with my Creator. At one with every aspect of creation and limitless in power and in peace. I am one self, united with my Creator. Amen.
