ACIM Lesson #322
“I can give up but what was never real.”
[Marsha's thoughts]
Oftentimes we don't realize we're holding on to unnecessary illusions. As I look at this world, many metaphors for this holding-on-letting-go action come to thought. The proliferation of storage sheds illustrates how we've fallen into the belief that we need more of everything. And the vastness of our trash dumps are the flip side of this record, where we leave all the big plastic things we've amassed. Most everyone I know is yearning for a more simple existence, in which their needs are met in nurturing ways. We want real food, grown by people we know, with Love. We don't want knick-knacks to fill our shelves, but search for meaningful objects which bring grace and beauty to our lives. These changes in material trappings exemplify the changes in our thought whereby we strive to release illusive beliefs in exchange for the new/old ideas of Soul. Today I will recognize the difference in the unnecessary illusions which only serve to dull my sense, and the palpably glowing Ideas which nourish me.
