What IS The Problem?

ACIM Workbook Lesson #79
"Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved."

For someone who says she has no strong opinions, I certainly seem to have lots of them! In a recent conversation, I found myself critiquing a number of restaurants in a most judgmental way, one of which is frequented by many people that I know. Although I am a self-proclaimed "food snob", it hasn't been my habit to put down the opinions of others. And what is the problem with this thinking? I could say that it is my judgment, but actually it is my feeling of separation from divine Love. And so today I shall spend time pondering this lesson which begins with the following words: "A problem cannot be solved if you do not know what it is. Even if it is really solved already you will still have the problem, because you will not recognize that it has been solved. This is the situation of the world. The problem of separation, which is really the only problem, has already been solved. Yet the solution is not recognized because the problem is not recognized." ACIM

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"Ontology receives less attention than physiology. Why? Because mortal mind must waken to spiritual life before it cares to solve the problem of being, hence the author's experience; but when that awakening comes, existence will be on a new standpoint."
