ACIM Workbook Lesson #153
“In my defenselessness my safety lies.”
Defenselessness is strength; defensiveness is weakness. This is probably backwards from what we have always thought, and it may feel wrong because we’ve been taught to defend ourselves as thoroughly as possible. Ask yourself how you felt, what you did, the last time someone disagreed with you, perhaps vehemently. If you began a verbal defense, listing all the reasons you were right, you may have been left feeling many negative emotions such as anger. On the contrary, any time I’m able to witness events and calmly watch and listen, I’m able to say something simple such as, You may be right — and walk away, happily and peacefully. We are told in this workbook lesson that we will not see the light until we offer it to others and they take it; then we will recognize it as our own. How lovely is that! I look forward to the opportunities for seeing peace today.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Truth and Love enlighten the understanding, in whose ‘light shall we see light;’ and this illumination is reflected spiritually by all who walk in the light and turn away from a false material sense.”
Science & Health Page 510:9-12
Yes, Truth & Love is the light that light us up, from inside...and than happens the real sight, 'insight'...
