ACIM Workbook Lesson #45:
“God is the Mind with which I think.”
The idea that God is Mind has been one of my favorite topics to explore. Mind is one of the weekly lessons studied by students of Mary Baker Eddy's discovery, Christian Science. This exploration is facilitated by her textbook, Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures. The knowledge that there are countless people studying the same topic and reading the same citations is unifying in its practice. Also, a consistent unity is shown through the study of A Course in Miracles workbook lessons, which also bring us together in thought. We are learning to listen for divine Mind's guidance, to listen for the still, small voice of God, to know and to express that knowledge through our actions and words. Divine Mind is ever-present. When I've misplaced something, rather than rushing about looking for it, I find it more productive to sit down and clear my thought of everything. On the occasions this clearing happens, when I remember to do this and can get out of my way, how exciting it is to "just know" where to look! I love this new/old thought which is revealing Soul where previously we've only known material sense. Mind is our omniscient guide.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Every concept which seems to begin with the brain begins falsely. Divine Mind is the only cause or Principle of existence. Cause does not exist in matter, in mortal mind, or in physical forms.”
