By now you should be starting to uncover some new emotional responses. It can get a little uncomfortable.
That’s natural. You’re bringing everything that was buried and hidden into your awareness. Let yourself FEEL the discomfort. Acknowledge it. Recognize it.
And whatever you do … don’t push it back down again. Let it rise to the surface and have a little willingness to look at it, and let it be released from your mind.
It’s the 56th day of practicing the workbook lessons of A Course in Miracles.
If you are just starting out, make sure you do ONLY one lesson a day. Don’t try to catch up to us by speeding through the lessons. Do one lesson a day and it will take you 365 days to complete the workbook. You can scroll back to January and find the corresponding lesson you are on.
Any difficulty you have with this journey is your need for a result, which logically is always based in a future time, which means you are not present now.
The simplicity of this journey is astonishing.
In chapter 1, it states: “Lack implies that you would be better of in a state different than the one you are in.”
Isn’t that amazing? There is nothing to achieve. All that is needed is acceptance of where you are RIGHT NOW. Once acceptance is established, the Power of God will lift and transport you to wherever you need to go and this is the reason “you need do nothing.”
Simply stay in a state of CONSTANCY to your own dedication to the healing of God’s Son, which takes place … today. here. now.
There is a great section in Chapter 24, that I love: “Forget not that the healing of God’s Son is all the world is for. That is the only purpose the Holy Spirit sees in it, and thus the only one it has. Until you see the healing of the Son as all you wish to be accomplished by the world, by time, and all appearances, you will not know the Father nor yourself. For you will use the world for what is not its purpose, and you will not escape it’s laws of violence and death. Yet it is given you to be beyond its laws in all respects, in every way and every circumstance, in all temptation to perceive what is not there, and all belief God’s Son can suffer pain because he sees himself as he is not.”
Ha. So great. So you see? In this very day – today – you are given unlimited opportunities to heal the Son of God. It is the only purpose in the world. There is no other purpose. There is no where to go. You simply heal the Son of God – which is you and everyone you see and think of – by staying in a constant dedication and remembrance of the truth that THIS WORLD IS NOT YOUR HOME and YOU ARE WHAT LOVE IS.
You are the light of the world.
It is given to you to heal every appearance, every sickness, every idea of limitation in everyone you see and think of.
TODAY.
Now.
Can you see this?
A Course in Miracles is not a doing, it’s an UNDOING.
So you do not need to go looking for situations to heal. People, places and events will find you, because it’s all going on in your own mind. So you are not looking for “other people” who need help. You’re not a magician trying to heal the appearance of chaos and sickness. Rather, you are simply standing still in an absolute conviction that “the healing of God’s Son is all the world is for.”
This is accomplished through you.
You are letting all your false ideas about yourself and your purpose in the world slip quietly away, to uncover the brilliant light THAT IS YOU that remains untouched and changeless by anything you have done here in time & space.
You are innocent, whole and perfect untouched by sin and guilt.
All your “mistakes” are meaningless. They have not affected your eternal state which remains as pure and brilliant as it was in the beginning and will remain forever more.
Today’s review lessons to practice:
1. I am not the victim of the world I see.
2. I have invented the world I see.
3. There is another way of looking at the world.
4. I could see peace instead of this.
5. My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.

Amazing. So often the lesson is exactly what we’re looking for.
I have to agree with Jim, it seems like these lessons right now are just what I need. I know that I created it that way. Still it is amazing!!!
