ACIM Lesson #250
“Let me not see myself as limited.
Let me behold the Son of God today, and witness to his glory. Let me not try to obscure the holy light in him, and see his strength diminished and reduced to frailty; nor perceive the lacks in him with which I would
(ACIM Prayer for today)
“He is Your Son, my Father. And today I would behold his gentleness instead of my illusions. He is what I am, and as I see him so I see myself. Today I would see truly, that this day I may at last identify with him.”
(Marsha's thoughts)
This lesson reminds me of something which has come to my attention numerous times in the past few days. That is, the importance of refraining from talking about people's seeming mistakes and weaknesses, avoiding any negative banter concerning others, and not indulging in deprecating thoughts about onesself. All these activities are impediments to allowing consciousness to rise past the material picture of life to the other-dimensional realization of Life. There will be many opportunities to practice this today, even if we see no other people. By freeing ourselves of our stories, we free ourselves (and everyone!) to the actualization of our true identities.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“It would require an infinite form to contain infinite Mind. Indeed, the phrase infinite form involves a contradiction of terms. Finite man cannot be the image and likeness of the infinite God. A mortal, corporeal, or finite conception of God cannot embrace the glories of limitless, incorporeal Life and Love. Hence the unsatisfied human craving for something better, higher, holier, than is afforded by a material belief in a physical God and man. The insufficiency of this belief to supply the true idea proves the falsity of material belief.” Science & Health Page 257: 30-8
