ACIM Workbook Lesson #312

“I see all things as I would have them be.”

When I tell people I want to give up the thoughts I think and think the thoughts of divine Mind, they often assume I want to be controlled by a cultish-type of group. But I think of it as the opposite. If I am making decisions based on past events and learned behaviors, then I have no freedom of thought. I am living by material restrictions and repeating thoughts dictated by human opinion. My desire to live as an idea of divine Mind opens me to an expansion of thought and action which has no limit. What an exciting world this is, when we release the restrictions dictated by past education and see our way to a deeper education, facilitated by divine Love!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:

"The supposed existence of more than one mind was the basic error of idolatry. This error assumed the loss of spiritual power, the loss of the spiritual presence of Life as infinite Truth without an unlikeness, and the loss of Love as ever present and universal.
