ACIM Workbook Lesson 92
“Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.”
[Marsha's thoughts]
Prayer, in Christian Science, is an affirmation of Truth and a denial of erroneous thought. By consistently turning in humble quietness to hear the inner guidance which is always there, we are enabled to look through the material pictures which before we thought to be truth. The law of Love is so gentle that it is often not discerned in the face of the harshness of human existence. For instance, when listening to a symphony the instruments blend together, forming either harmony or discord, according to the composer's vision. So it is for our personal experiences. For many years it was thought that good and evil were separate realities, vying for our attention and influencing us according to which was stronger. By the realization that God is All, that anything unlike God, good, is a material illusion perpetrated by thought, we are able to see through the darkness into the reality of Light. Through this illumination, everything is seen differently. The strength which comes from this Truth is manifest in every aspect of our experience. We no longer are helpless victims of life's circumstance, but have the choice of seeing the miracle. Join with me in demonstrating this Truth. Something as simple as finding a lost object can show you how seeing in light clears the way to true sight. For instance, if you've lost your keys, instead of rushing about looking every possible place they could be, try seeing in the light. Sit down, quiet your mind, know that you are One with this light, and see what thought comes to you. I have had so many moments of experiencing where this light takes me, walking immediately to the spot I need to be. Let's see through the illusion and feel how powerful we are!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“The brain can give no idea of God's man. It can take no cognizance of Mind. Matter is not the organ of infinite Mind. As mortals give up the delusion that there is more than one Mind, more than one God, man in God's likeness will appear, and this eternal man will include in that likeness no material element. As a material, theoretical life-basis is found to be a misapprehension of existence, the spiritual and divine Principle of man dawns upon human thought and leads it to "where the young child was," --even to the birth of a new-old idea, to the spiritual sense of being and of what Life includes. Thus the whole earth will be transformed by Truth on its pinions of light, chasing away the darkness of error."
