ACIM Workbook Lesson #221
“Peace to my mind. Let all my thoughts be still.”
Today begins part two of the Course in Miracles workbook. Now is the time for us to stop telling ourselves what we are and to Be! We are reminded that an unforgiving thought is very busy in its judgment, closing our mind to everything other than the injustice we deem has been done us. Contrary to this skewed view of reality is forgiveness in all its peaceful stillness. I’m thinking back to times when I was upset because of others’ actions, perhaps feeling hurt by a slight I took personally or a seeming attack of some sort. It’s easy to feel justified in seeking to avenge an action we see as wrong, but as our text tells us: “Do nothing, then, and let forgiveness show you what to do…”. A peaceful mind with still thoughts is far more powerful than all the vengeful action we can imagine. How fortunate we are to have plentiful opportunities to practice this Truth!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Spiritual living and blessedness are the only evidences, by which we can recognize true existence and feel the unspeakable peace which comes from an all-absorbing spiritual love.”
Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures Page 264:24-27
