A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson #208 (review)
“I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.”
Specific review: (#188) “The peace of God is shining in me now."
Having spent two days in stillness, happily communing with mySelf, it seemed impossible to feel anything other than peace. Then I went outside the sanctuary of my home. Apparently all my senses were intensified, as the strong odors from everything and everyone were overwhelming. Then I was surprised by the jarring words of others. Every idle observation I heard was negative and filled with discomfort, anger, or ennui. Were these observations my perception of them? Of course. Were they misperceived or were they interpreted as how they were meant to be communicated? Who knows!! And I saw that it didn't matter. To simply be present, enjoying the heightened sense of events through the "peace of God [which] is shining in me now", was enough.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Undisturbed amid the jarring testimony of the material senses, Science, still enthroned, is unfolding to mortals the immutable, harmonious, divine Principle,—is unfolding Life and the universe, ever present and eternal.”
Science & Health Page 306:25-28
