ACIM Workbook Lesson #43: "God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him."
From today's Course in Miracles lesson: "You cannot see apart from God because you cannot be apart from God." We are told time and again, and in many different ways, that it is impossible to be separated from divine Love, it is impossible to be separate from each other as we are all a reflection of divine Mind. On a regular basis, my ego tells me this couldn’t possibly be true. My so-called mortal mind informs me that my thought is higher than that person over there, and it’s tempting to feel a bit superior. I often tell people that God sees no difference in Mother Teresa and Adolph Hitler. This is easy to say, but a bit more difficult to truly understand. But that’s where our burgeoning understanding of Oneness is leading us: there is no difference in me and that guy over there! Today I will exercise my sight — my true sight — wherein I cannot see apart from my Source. Would I rather my sight be pure or convoluted? It seems like a no-brainer!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"Man is more than a material form with a mind inside, which must escape from its environments in order to be immortal. Man reflects infinity, and this reflection is the true idea of God."
