ACIM Workbook Lesson #131 "No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth."

I've heard it said the fear of humiliation is at the top of our dread list, which contributes to why we remain with the familiar. As I think of the things we do in life, the foods we eat and how we obtain them, modes of transportation we utilize, the lies we tell ourselves every day — realization surfaces that we are craving simpler ways of doing everything. We want to eat fresh food in season. We want to heat our homes and travel without sucking the life out of the earth. What does this have to do with "seeking the truth"? In opening to our inner knowing, to the Truth that is waiting for us to remember it, solutions to problems which may have seemed insolvable to material sense suddenly are found. Ways of approaching everything in our lives, from healthcare to relationships, are seen in a different light and we wonder why we never thought of it that way before. How will you, personally, see it? That, I do not know. This adventure is quite an individual trip! However truth is seen in your world gives you glimpses of the Oneness we speak of. This pearl of great price, recognized and known, is what I seek today.

Mary Baker Eddy quote:

"All nature teaches God’s love to man, but man cannot love God supremely and set his whole affections on spiritual things, while loving the material or trusting in it more than in the spiritual.”
