ACIM Workbook Lesson #291
“This is a day of stillness and of peace.”
What is the real world? This is the question we are exploring for the next few days. While we think we are seeing the real world, with all its pain and sorrow and fear and horror, we are not. The unreal world, which is reported on the news and purported to be reality by those who scoff at anything unseen to human eyes, is not the reality of spiritual creation. I'm often drawn to the first chapter of the Bible for affirmation of Truth, but if we read on into the next chapter, things begin to get muddy. By the time we reach the third chapter, we're deeply lost in the material version of creation -- the illusion which is so difficult to shake. We are no longer a spiritual creation, but made from dirt with all the oddness that goes along with talking serpents and guilt and blame and such. So when life seems riddled with chaos, I will remember our true creation as peaceful stillness in the Mind of God.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"Certain moods of mind find an indefinable pleasure in stillness, soft, silent as the storm's sudden hush; for nature's stillness is voiced with a hum of harmony, the gentle murmur of early morn, the evening's closing vespers, and lyre of bird and brooklet."
Christian Science versus Pantheism Page 3:8-13
