No Neutral Thoughts

ACIM Workbook Lesson #16
“I have no neutral thoughts.”

We are reminded today: "Every thought you have contributes to truth or illusion: either it extends truth or it multiplies illusion." [ACIM] On a regular basis, things occur which we think of as disturbing. For instance, I recently heard of a dear friend's son's surprising suicide, and I found myself repeatedly imaging her pain. But wait -- Does that help her? If every thought is important (which I truly think it is!), then I should hold thought to Love, not pain or grief. What we dwell on multiplies, right? We've all seen it happen, both in our lives and the circumstance of others. So today I will take these words to heart and truly work toward practicing them in every facet of life. I can choose to see the world with ego-based thoughts, prejudiced by long-held beliefs, or I can follow the path cleared by divine Mind. I'm grateful to know there is a choice!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"In divine Science, the universe, including man, is spiritual, harmonious, and eternal. Science shows that what is termed matter is but the subjective state of what is termed by the author mortal mind." Science & Health Page 114:27-31
