I like to start my days with the Take Me To Truth girls, Coreen and Nouk. In their unpacking of the daily ACIM workbook lesson, I find inspiration and understanding. This morning (Lesson 176) there was mention of “setting your intention”. Immediately I was taken back a couple of decades, to when we, as computer users, had to do many difficult things. One of these was updating your firmware. I had been on the phone with various helpers, but I wasn’t having the desired result. But this particular woman, in India, was clear and concise and I was getting it! When we were close to being “updated”, she told me there was one more step and that we should “set our intention for a good result”. I was ecstatic! A like-minded person! Today, as I listened to the discussion of the daily lesson, I realized we are all “like-minded people”. There are many reasons we can say this is not true, but ultimately, we are all as God created us — created from Love, as Love. I can set myself up as different, better, wiser, but that’s simply the ego feeling superior. Today I shall “set my intention for a good result”, and not be surprised when that happens!
“Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true, and you will bring these into your experience proportionably to their occupancy of your thoughts.”
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 261:4-7
“Do not allow your intent to waver in the face of distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever form such thoughts may take, they have no meaning and no power. Replace them with your determination to succeed. Do not forget that your will has power over all fantasies and dreams. Trust it to see you through, and carry you beyond them all.
