ACIM Workbook Lesson #49:

"God's Voice speaks to me all through this day."

I know a few people who spend every waking hour watching television, listening to radio, cruising the internet — in other words, constantly filling up their thoughts with the cacophony of outside influences. They seem a bit fearful of meditation, yoga, sitting quietly doing nothing, or even talking with friends. I also know someone who is often expounds his strong opinions, berating others and loudly telling anyone who will listen what is wrong with the world. How can I hear divine Mind’s guidance if I’m feeding a whirlwind in my head? I wonder what would happen if every single person in this world took a few minutes before beginning their day, using those moments to quietly affirm their essence as a reflection of Love, vowing to return to that place of peace as often as possible throughout the day, living from the heart in every action taken and word spoken. As we know, we can’t change anyone else, only ourselves.

"Infinite Mind creates and governs all, from the mental molecule to infinity. This divine Principle of all expresses Science and art throughout creation, and the immortality of man and the universe." Science & Health Page 507:24-28
