ACIM Workbook Lesson #53
Today is the third of a ten-day review of the first lessons
In this five-lesson review, there is much talk of a "meaningless world". One of the top ten frequently asked questions I hear is, Why would you want to see a meaningless world? I'm not sure we would want to see a meaningless world, but that's certainly what we're doing! By the realization that the only reality is the world God created, we come to see that everything we are seeing through mortal sense is unreal, hence meaningless. God did not create a meaningless world, and so to see the world as God did create it, we must give up the belief and illusion we have created. And why should we do that? To give ourselves a chance to experience Reality. It seems like we've been reaching for that as long as I can remember. The Age of Aquarius. Harmonic Convergence. The Shift. Ascension. Activating DNA Strands. We have been seeking and hoping that a way will open for us to understand, to experience the meaning of Life, and to demonstrate this Reality. These exercises we're doing are designed to prepare us to accept the knowledge which wakes up this Vision. We're tempted to be afraid because this is an unknown. But a single glimpse of the Light is sufficient to make me want to thrown open wide the door!
Mary Baker Eddy quote: "Mortals will some day assert their freedom in the name of Almighty God. Then they will control their own bodies through the understanding of divine Science. Dropping their present beliefs, they will recognize harmony as the spiritual reality and discord as the material unreality." Science & Health Page 228:14-19
