A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson #148 Review of:
#135 "If I defend myself I am attacked." #136 "Sickness is a defense against the truth." The main idea to hold to in this review: “My mind holds only what I think with God.”
These two review topics take us all the way down the rabbit hole! If you want feel-good, improve-your-relationships, make-more-money types of reading material, I suggest you stay away from this. And I don't mean that in an ugly way. I've found a momentary recognition of the Truth of Being tends to make me want more, but I've known many people who don't want to go there at all, and that's cool, too. The present beliefs perpetuated in daily life are comfortable to us, and it can be hard to let them go. Even if thought systems aren't working very well, we hold onto them for fear things might be worse. I know how hard it can be to buck the system. Years ago, I took my child out of the medical miasma when they told me there was no cure for his situation. They didn't want to let us go and checked up on us for years. This new way of looking at everything can be frightening, especially if you've convinced yourself you don't like change. So if you start to become afraid while trying on the new thoughts you are having, realize that Love is all there is. Sing a Beatles song or two! Do anything you can to cultivate joy. Live fully in the whirlpool of divine Love! Go all the way down the rabbit hole, knowing every step is sure when you walk with Love.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Mind, supreme over all its formations and governing them all, is the central sun of its own systems of ideas, the life and light of all its own vast creation; and man is tributary to divine Mind.”
