ACIM Workbook Lesson #163
"There is no death. The Son of God is free."
Many meanings, both literal and metaphoric, come to mind when thinking of the word "death". My first thought, upon reading today's topic, was of the death we experience when we are born into this existence. Suddenly, our spiritual sense is deadened by the deluge of materialistic stimuli which constantly bombards us. In this forgetting of Truth, life becomes very uncertain. We are victims of inharmonious circumstances, until we recognize ourselves as expressions of divine Mind, then we see glimpses of eternity. We may begin to imagine the unreality of time and space, and perhaps we've always suspected this. These misunderstandings may fire the dissatisfaction which drives us to "feeling out of sight for the ends of being and ideal grace." (Browning) We know there's something more, and we keep grasping at what it might be. We search for freedom from the belief that we are victims of circumstance. We have the choice of waking up! Today's lesson gives many examples of how we allow death to be stronger than life. It speaks to waking from this dream of erroneous thought, switching on the light of Truth, and beginning to understand that we may have it all backwards. We will see through the veil we have hung to hide Truth. With this sight will come the understanding of Life as timeless!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“The chief stones in the temple of Christian Science are to be found in the following postulates: that Life is God, good, and not evil; that Soul is sinless, not to be found in the body; that Spirit is not, and cannot be, materialized; that Life is not subject to death; that the spiritual real man has no birth, no material life, and no death.”
