ACIM Workbook Lesson #23:
"I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts."
Working to correct injustice is not attacking — unless we make it so with thought! Many people feel the way of life we’re studying demands we sit around having happy thoughts, meditating, and turning away from pain and suffering. Of course, it does! But that does not preclude speaking truth to error when it is uncovered. By turning away from attack and demonstrating the Love which is our reality, we begin to understand our purpose on a totally different level than we may have espoused all our lives. I will remind myself time and again of these words from today’s ACIM lesson: “There is no point in trying to change the world. It is incapable of change because it is merely an effect. But there is indeed a point in changing your thoughts about the world. Here you are changing the cause. The effect will change automatically.” It takes a change of thought to bring freedom. Let's free ourselves today -- and forever!
Mary Baker Eddy quote: “By purifying human thought, this state of mind permeates with increased harmony all the minutiae of human affairs.” Miscellaneous Writings Page 204:23-25
