In My Mind

ACIM Workbook lesson #30: "God is in everything I see because God is in my mind."

Seeing everything as a part of us by looking within rather than without is the point of today's exercise. This looking is not limited to what we can see with our eyes. We are asked to close our eyes and see what pops into our thought, too. We are working toward changing sight to vision. I look at my sweet dog and see my experience of him. I close my eyes and envision all the Love expressed by all the dogs I have known. I feel the Love expressed by my parents and children and friends. I can feel the warmth of a spring day, smell the earth and flowers, see past my limiting thoughts to the ideas of Soul. As explained by a sentence in today’s lesson: “Real vision is not only unlimited by space and distance, but it does not depend on the body's eyes at all.” I look forward to seeing everything as a reflection of unlimited Love!

Mary Baker Eddy quote: "It is the illumination of the spiritual understanding which demonstrates the capacity of Soul, not of material sense. This Soul-sense comes to the human mind when the latter yields to the divine Mind." Science & Health Page 85:2-6
