ACIM Workbook Lesson #54
Today's review is of Lessons 16-20.
Upon awakening today, I had about 20 inane and/or insane thoughts before I realized what I was doing! "What day is this and where am I supposed to be?" was quickly followed by a chain of remembrances which took me from a lovely cooking store to my childhood home, then zoomed over to a friend's house and a remembered conversation, before zipping back to a neglected household chore. This illustrates why it is so important to guide my first thoughts of the day to paths of Spirit. Without this discipline, I could spend all my time with meaningless thoughts which create turmoil rather than peace within. I have found that leading first thoughts to Truth helps to keep my mind in tune for the rest of the day, rather than thinking of all the material insanity which comes at me from every direction once I leave the sequestered world of my home. We so often feel bombarded by thoughts of fear and hostility, lack and disease, error and disharmony. What if our thoughts of peace and harmony could still the seeming turmoil of the world? Then would it be worth the effort to pull our thought away from error and hold steadfastly to Truth? Everything true we think or speak or do is shared with all. How important then to see Reality rather than the beliefs we are taught by the repetition of them. What I see is what I think; what I think is what I see. Every thought is important. Join me in taking a stand for Truth today and every day and experience the transformational power!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"Through discernment of the spiritual opposite of materiality, even the way through Christ, Truth, man will reopen with the key of divine Science the gates of Paradise which human beliefs have closed, and will find himself unfallen, upright, pure, and free, not needing to consult almanacs for the probabilities either of his life or of the weather, not needing to study brainology to learn how much of a man he is."
