ACIM Workbook Lesson #276
“The Word of God is given me to speak.”
When I read the topic of today's ACIM workbook lesson, I immediately thought of a man who sometimes stands in prominent places in downtown Eureka Springs. He wears a sandwich board declaring that any man who marries a divorced woman is an adulterer. He speaks to people and warns them of various things which will send them to hell. And so I wonder: Does he think he's speaking the Word of God? I would hazard to guess that he does. I find it's very easy to jump up on my soapbox and declare various things. This is why I'm making an effort to let go of beliefs and dogma! With practice, we can begin to recognize the difference in speaking from the heart, from Love, or voicing the rhetoric of a lifetime. I look forward to checking my understanding of this discipline as I travel through this parenthesis in time!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Let discord of every name and nature be heard no more, and let the harmonious and true sense of Life and being take possession of human consciousness.”
