ACIM Workbook Lesson #161
“Give me your blessing, holy Son of God.”
Often in times of trouble, we seem to become stuck in our feelings, thinking there is no way out, perhaps wishing we could die. Mrs. Eddy posits that we will be surprised when we die and find out we're not dead! Salvation must be worked out here or hereafter, she tells us. I remember this in times of sadness or turmoil. There is no escape other than through an understanding that we are a reflection of God, good, and that everything else is unreal. By bringing thought back to this truth time and again, we begin to see the veracity of it and the falsity of any other way of seeing this experience. Our inner peace cannot be taken away, even if joy seems to have disappeared!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"’Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.’ It should be thoroughly understood that all men have one Mind, one God and Father, one Life, Truth, and Love. Mankind will become perfect in proportion as this fact becomes apparent, war will cease and the true brotherhood of man will be established." Science & Health Page 467:16-20
