Antidote to Rhetoric

ACIM Workbook Lesson #160
“I am at home. Fear is the stranger here.”

“Fear is a stranger to the ways of love.” This beautiful statement is the first line in today’s workbook lesson. At the weekly Course in Miracles meeting, one of the attendees read a statement from a past lesson which had stuck with him: “Love cannot judge.” These two statements seem to fit perfectly as an antidote to the barrage of rhetoric which is being thrown at us daily during the seemingly-eternal political campaigns. As I steadfastly turn from judgment, rather seeing myself as the embodiment of divine Love, I cannot feel fear as it is impossible when living the ways of love!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:

“Let neither fear nor doubt overshadow your clear sense and calm trust, that the recognition of life harmonious — as Life eternally is — can destroy any painful sense of, or belief in, that which Life is not.” Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures  495:16-20
