ACIM Workbook Lesson #181 “I trust my brothers, who are one with me.”
It seems "they" are trying to harm "us" everywhere we look! From fluoride in our drinking water to desecrating our countryside with electrical lines and chemicals to kill the foliage and fauna, it feels as though we're under attack! And so I'm very happy to have this beautiful ACIM lesson to guide my thought from defense mode to an understanding which affirms the goodness of all mankind. Many disciplines teach us how to deal with material circumstances. They are lovely reminders of how to improve what we call the human condition. Many tell us we're humans having a spiritual experience, but very few tell us that we're actually spiritual. In divine metaphysics, we learn that everything is an idea of Mind. I am a spiritual idea right here and now — and you are, too! This is true even though our actions are in opposition to the goodness inherent in our true being. I'm going to pick a person who seems to fall into this category and concentrate on their true Being as an expression of divine Love. This feels like a Science project, don't you think? I shall record the results!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"It should be thoroughly understood that all men have one Mind …one Life, Truth, and Love. Mankind will become perfect in proportion as this fact becomes apparent, war will cease and the true brotherhood…will be established."

I never noticed that place just above where you can mark your reactions. I wish there were boxes to check for "inspirational", "profound", "lovely". :)
ReplyDeleteI like this idea of making seeing someone with the eyes of Christ as a Science project! Quite a Christian Science project I would say.
Yes, Cassandra, those boxes appeared, but I didn't put them there! I love that you want to check the boxes you indicated! Thank you!!
