ACIM Workbook Lesson #5
“I am never upset for the reason I think.”
We think in terms of something upsetting us. Then we like to build up reasons why we are justified in this upset. Today we are asked to forget about any reason for feeling hurt, or angry, or irritated. When a friend shared with me a step into peace and out of worry which she experienced over the holidays, I was reminded that we don't need to examine the form our feelings take. One of her daughters was very upset with her, for reasons which are not important to this writing. And my friend chose to not make those reasons important to her either. She was aware that her beloved daughter was upset, but she was also aware that she couldn't fix it. She knows that her peace doesn't depend on any outside source."Truth is not contaminated by error." As long as we are living in Truth, no amount of erroneous thought can affect our natural state of harmony. So let's not worry about why we may be upset, but reach to the other side of this emotion and realize the One reason we are at peace.
Mary Baker Eddy quote: "Harmony is produced by its Principle, is controlled by it and abides with it. Divine Principle is the Life of man. Man's happiness is not, therefore, at the disposal of physical sense. Truth is not contaminated by error. Harmony in man is as beautiful as in music, and discord is unnatural, unreal."
