ACIM Workbook Lesson #179
Central Theme: "God is but love and therefore so am I."
Review of:
#167 "There is one life, and that I share with God."
#168 "Your grace is given me. I claim it now."
We are so happy to know and accept the fact that Life is deathless! But then we try to turn that immortality into material life. We imagine ourselves going on into the "afterlife" in this body, with these feelings, seeing others whom we know in their bodies, with their individuality as humans intact. And we are very upset if we think this may not be what we will experience. We have decided to think it's comforting to imagine that life through the "pearly gates" will be just like this -- only better! No one of us knows exactly what will happen after the change we call death. But by listening to those who have more experience than I do in such matters, I am gaining a sense of what seems plausible and what doesn't. And one thing I'm absolutely sure of is that there is nothing to fear. What an adventure it will be!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
In the illusion of Illusion of death, mortals wake to the knowledge of two facts: (1) that they are not dead; (2) that they have but passed the portals of a new belief."
