ACIM Workbook Lesson #98
“I will accept my part in God’s plan for salvation.”
To the uninitiated in this way of thought, the topic for today could be interpreted as asking us to accept some sort of predestination. We who are familiar with this study, know it is not. I once heard Deepak Chopra say that there is no free will as long as we are being held by the beliefs of a lifetime. For this reason, we are asked time and again to look through the meaning we have placed on things and allow ourselves to think with divine Mind, feel from the leadings of Love, and create from the depths of Soul. It seems no one likes to be told what to do. I spoke with a woman today who was upset with her daughter for "bossing her around". When we are yielding to divine Principle, it doesn't seem to matter what dictates are put before us: they either feel right and we follow them, or they don't and we don't! To me, that's accepting God's plan.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"Spirit, God, gathers unformed thoughts into their proper channels, and unfolds these thoughts, even as [It] opens the petals of a holy purpose in order that the purpose may appear."
