Dwelling and Inquiring

ACIM Workbook Lesson #195 “Love is the way I walk in gratitude.”

Yesterday, I quoted a verse from Psalms concerning dwelling in a house and inquiring in a temple. I've been asked by an old friend and mentor to clarify what I think that means. I believe today's ACIM lesson can be used as an aid to this end: "Love is the way I walk in gratitude." Living this Love and being a transparency for its transmission certainly feels like "dwelling in the house of the Lord". I do not think it's a place for which to be searched, but rather a gentle presence to be felt. And I see the phrase "inquiring in his temple" to be telling us to ask within ourselves for clarity   as to living within the single eye of all-encompassing Love. We are the experience and expression of divinity, Love, so we needn't go searching here and there for something we feel is lacking. We already are whole, complete, and ready to acknowledge this unity of Spirit. 

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Temple: Body; the idea of Life, substance, and intelligence; the superstructure of Truth; the shrine of Love…”
