ACIM Workbook Lesson #4
“These thoughts do not mean anything. They are like the things I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place].”
The fun exercises of the early lessons in the Course in Miracles Workbook are baby steps at the beginning of our journey. Through them, we are learning to examine our thoughts and see that they are meaningless, thereby freeing us to release them and let our mind be healed through this new way of viewing the world. We are examining what we think is important and then asking ourselves what exactly that means, and any thought that is not an extension of Love is meaningless. Our identity is defined by our ego thoughts about ourself and the world. Even if these thoughts hurt us, we tend to cherish them, to the point of reliving them over and over. To "let go and let God" requires a willingness to see everything around us simply as it is, with no long-held beliefs being expressed toward anything, having a willingness to listen inwardly for Truth. I look forward to an epiphany of universal understanding, in which we will cease from meaningless thoughts and yield to omnipotent Mind. The ability to see reality as spiritual, not material, is visible to all who choose to awaken to this knowledge. What an exciting thought!
Mary Baker Eddy quote: “To divest thought of false trusts and material evidences in order that the spiritual facts of being may appear, — this is the great attainment by means of which we shall sweep away the false and give place to the true.” Science & Health Page 428:8-12
