ACIM 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 simply 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 that a momentary recognition of the Truth of Being leads me to want more, but I've known many people who won’t go there. And that's cool, too. The present beliefs we espouse and demonstrate in daily life are comfortable to us, and it can be difficult to let them go. Often we have held on to stubborn memories of the past for so long that we can't seem to dig our way out and up. These things can be frightening, especially if we've convinced ourselves we don't like change. If you become afraid while trying on these new ideas we are exploring, step back for a moment and sing a Beatles song or two! Do anything you can to cultivate joy. Live life 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:
“Identity is the reflection of Spirit, the reflection in multifarious forms of the living Principle, Love.”
