ACIM Workbook Lesson #206
Central theme: “I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.” Review: #186 “Salvation of the world depends on me.”

I’m taking a weekend workshop on the art of storytelling. We have a great instructor named Elaine Blanchard, and the group consists of nine beautiful, passionate women, all of us as different as we are the same. Each of us is there to release a story from where it’s been hiding within us. I can tell it will be an emotional weekend, full of tears and laughter, with joy being the front runner coming down the stretch when we’re through. Elaine has gained national attention from going into women’s prisons, gathering stories, writing them into screenplays, performing them, and allowing the prisoners to see their stories on stage. This process frees everyone involved and many of the inmates are determined to let loose the past and go forward into a new life. Sometimes you just need someone to listen in order to see what must be done. Truth does set us free!

Mary Baker Eddy quotes:
Love is priestess at the altar of Truth. Wait patiently for divine Love to move upon the waters of mortal mind, and form the perfect concept.”
