Shining Peace

ACIM Workbook Lesson #208
Central Theme: “I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.” Review: #188 “The peace of God is shining in me now."

Many things we think will make us safe or cause us to feel better, do not. We can spend all our time doing what we have been taught will make us happy and healthy and wise, and then one day wake up and find out we’re none of those things! I’ve just spent three days in a writing workshop with nine other women. It was an exercise in learning how to tell our story, to write our memoirs, to see ourselves as we truly are rather than as we’ve perceived ourselves for years. What a freeing experience! Each and every one of us had were shining, leaving more peaceably than we began, having left on paper vestiges of the past which had hitched a ride for far too long. I know I feel more free and peaceful simply from having known these fantastic women!

“The metaphysician, making Mind his basis of operation irrespective of matter and regarding the truth and harmony of being as superior to error and discord, has rendered himself strong…”
