ACIM Workbook Lesson #149

Review of:

#137 "When I am healed I am not healed alone." #138 "Heaven is the decision I must make."

The main thought to hold to in this review: “My mind holds only what I think with God.”

Through the practice of releasing any meaning I've placed things, I'm learning a new language. This is the language of Spirit, which we're discovering in our study of divine metaphysics. For instance, the word "Spirit" as I used it in the last sentence has an entirely different meaning from its use on the Ghost Tours at the Crescent Hotel! The capitalization of "Spirit" not only creates a synonym for God, but incorporates all the other nuances which are a part of its spiritual interpretation. For instance: Spirit is tangible; Spirit is substance. It "blesses the multiplication of its own pure ideas". (MBE) As with the learning of anything new, it requires practice for it to become second-nature to us; to be able to incorporate these ideas into our lives without specific thought of doing so. As we bring this Truth to our illusionary beliefs, we understand that healing is universal, we see there is no choice between heaven and anything else. It's what we know when allowing "what we think with God" to be heard. Have a joyous day everyone!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:

“When we realize that Life is Spirit, never in nor of matter, this understanding will expand into self-completeness, finding all in God, good, and needing no other consciousness."
