ACIM Lesson #146
Review of: #131 "No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth." #132 "I loose the world from all I thought it was." The main thought to hold to in this review: “My mind holds only what I think with God.”
How do we know if our actions express divine consciousness or if we're simply doing things because we think we should? I read a book which contained a good test to help us know the difference. Doing involves planning and following steps to get us from here to there. Being, on the other hand, doesn't mean we just sit around and do nothing, but demands we follow our feelings while staying in the present moment. The author, Anita Moorjani, states she can tell the difference by looking at the emotions behind her everyday decisions. If her actions are the result of fear, she is in the doing mode, but if everything she does is driven by passion and a zest for living, then she is Being. As an example, she speaks to the process of buying a house. There are many steps and plans you might make when deciding between two places, but the ultimate decision would be how you feel about one of them. Let’s listen to our hearts today as we go about this business of life. By doing so, we will experience Life!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“The divine Mind supports the sublimity, magnitude, and infinitude of spiritual creation.”
Science & Health Page 511:5-6
Everything that comes from fear...which means everything I do not think with God...is not real. I do not need to give it credence. I need not make it a reason for not going to church, for instance. Ahh..I'm sensing that passion and zest that the fear was overshadowing. Hiding there in the wings, I invite it out into the Light. Yes!
