Peace, Joy, Happiness


ACIM Workbook Lesson #104
“I seek but what belongs to me in truth.”

“I hate computers!” This is not something I would say, because I've learned what happens if you do: they hate you back! I'm saying this semi-jokingly, but a lot of you have probably experienced this phenomenon. If we get frustrated and tense, this translates into blocked ability to know what's going on. I often tell people to think like a computer, to appreciate what it has to teach you, and listen for instruction on how to learn. Computers are actually very zen-like machines, don't you think? My experience with them has helped me to understand calmness. If I'm not achieving the results I want, it's tempting to throw up my hands and give up. That's the time to sit quietly and ask for the knowledge which divine Mind is always providing. Once again, we're asking ourselves to be still and know, to silence mortal mind and hear divine Mind. This is part of "what belongs to me in truth": peace, joy, happiness -- the kingdom of heaven which is within. Ommmm ~~~~

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“God has built a higher platform of human rights, and He has built it on diviner claims. These claims are not made through code or creed, but in demonstration of ‘on earth peace, good-will toward men.’”
