There is one life, and that I share with God.
This lesson goes along with Lesson 163. The death lesson. All the ways in which you are dead.
“You think death is of the body. Yet it is but an idea, irrelevant to what is seen as physical. A thought is in the mind. It can be then applied as mind directs it. But it’s origin is where it must be changed, if change is possible.”
This is what I was writing about yesterday – about focus and attention. You have the ability to change your mind about everything. The choice is yours.
Death is life’s opposite. It takes many forms. It is the one idea which underlies all feelings that are not supremely happy. It is the alarm to which you gave response of any kind that is not perfect joy. All sorrow, loss, anxiety and suffering and pain, even a little sigh of weariness, a slight discomfort or the merest frown, acknowledge death. And thus deny you live.
Pretty uncompromising, huh????
This is death:
1. sorrow, loss, anxiety, suffering, pain
2. even a little sigh of weariness
3. a slight discomfort
4 the merest frown
These things are completely made up by the mind that thinks them. This is not life. It is death. God did not create such nonsense. He only created Love. He created you.
There is one life, and that I share with God.

I never realized how death was incorporated into my past thinking. Learning from ACIM I have the power thru the Holy Spirit to create loving thoughts and kill the nonsense igotistical mind. Wow God Bless
