A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson #307
“Conflicting wishes cannot be my will.”
When someone close to us has a problem, we tend to think of it as our own. We have been conditioned to think we can fix others, and if we don't try, we fear people will think we don't care. Then we're thrown into a quandary of feelings: love for them, perhaps embarrassment over their actions, worry about what will happen to them, concern over what others will think -- the list can be endless! When we are able to release these feelings and see everyone as the spiritual creation they truly are, we begin to release our sense of personal responsibility, while affirming their goodness as a reflection of divine Love. Claiming as our own the thoughts of divine Mind frees us from the conflict imposed by material wishes!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“We cannot serve two masters nor perceive divine Science with the material senses.” Science and Health Page 167:11-12
