A Course in Miracles Lesson #120 Review of: #109 "I rest in God." #110 "I am as God created me."
An astute reader tells me that I skipped Lesson #120 a few days ago. To rectify that error, I repeat the entry from last year.
A friend recommended that I read, Dying to be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing by Anita Moorjani. One of the important points made in this book is something that is recognized in our studies: Sickness is not your fault. Often new-age teachings tell us that past thoughts and actions create karma which returns to you in terrible ways. Ms. Moorjani assures us that this is not the case. The recognition that you are pure Love, the knowledge that you are connected to everything, the joy which comes from acceptance of yourself just as you are -- this understanding of your being is what allows the body to be well. It doesn't matter what caused it, what "stage" the problem has advanced to, what mortal predictions are on the table -- nothing matters but the acceptance of yourself as a product of Love. When feeling the purity of Oneness, all material thought must be silenced. We can stop striving and start Being. When slipping into this space of pure Love, nothing else matters. And all is well.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Mortal mind must part with error, must put off itself with its deeds, and immortal manhood, the Christ ideal, will appear.”
Science & Health Page 430:3-5
