ACIM Workbook Lesson #171
Central Theme: "God is but love and therefore so am I." Review of: #151 "All things are echoes of the Voice for God." #152 "The power of decision is my own."
I watched a movie called "Wild". It's the story of a confused and sad young woman who hikes the 1000-mile Pacific Crest Trail, not sure why she's doing it, but knowing she can't go on in the destructive way she's been living. In the past, there have been many times I've wished I could change parts of my life, but I don't feel that way anymore. A line from this movie exemplifies why that is: "What if all the things I did are the things that got me here?" There's no place I'd rather be; there are no other children I'd rather have; I love my friends and only look forward to adding more! If I had the chance to go back and take out parts of my life -- parts which I wouldn't want put up on a movie screen -- then I wouldn't be here now. I am learning the differences and samenesses in loving and being Love, while finding out how being the experience of divine Mind is as individual as I Am. What an adventure!!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Individuals are consistent who, watching and praying, can 'run, and not be weary; . . . walk, and not faint,' who gain good rapidly and hold their position, or attain slowly and yield not to discouragement. Imperfect mortals grasp the ultimate of spiritual perfection slowly; but to begin aright and to continue the strife of demonstrating the great problem of being, is doing much.”
