ACIM Workbook Lesson #18
"I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing."
Yesterday I expressed my desire to be alone in communion with Spirit. Today we are asked to realize what an impossibility that is! The connection of everything through the omnipresence of our source cannot be denied. It can be ignored, but that doesn't make it go away. So every modicum of my "seeing" is experienced everywhere in this infinite web of eternal Life. And everyone's remembering of Truth is mine, too. I no longer allow into my experience those who habitually recount pain and injustice perceived in their lives. As one who used to take almost everything personally, I fully appreciate how it can consume thought, and how we seem to want commiseration with our feelings. I find myself being with those who help my Being, and loving the peace!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"In the material world, thought has brought to light with great rapidity many useful wonders. With like activity have thought's swift pinions been rising towards the realm of the real, to the spiritual cause of those lower things which give impulse to inquiry. Belief in a material basis, from which may be deduced all rationality, is slowly yielding to the idea of a metaphysical basis, looking away from matter to Mind as the cause of every effect."
