ACIM Workbook Lesson #301 “And God Himself shall wipe away all tears.”
There are any number — perhaps thousands — of wonderful teachings in this world. I have always leaned toward a non-dualist teaching that doesn’t leave me asking questions which are answered with non-answers such as, “you just have to believe”. These ten workbook lessons are under the heading of “What is the Second Coming”. This term has long been interpreted from a material standpoint, with expectations of a human form appearing and then everything will be all right. ACIM and MBE assure us that everything is all right here and now, and we don’t have to wait until some future time or event to bring us happiness and peace. One of the phrases in the workbook lesson tells us the second coming “restores the never lost”. In other words, everything we are searching for is ours already! Our judgment in a dualistic world reflects back to us our losses and griefs, and the understanding of unity allows us to choose a brand new world of Love, and all our tears are wiped away.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Love propagates anew the higher joys of Spirit, which have no taint of earth. Each successive stage of experience unfolds new views of divine goodness and love.” Science & Health Page 573:28-2
