Hi everyone,
Does this lesson make any sense to you?
When I think about it…I am upset because I see something that is not there…at first glance and second glance and third and one thousandth, it makes no sense to me whatsoever.
What does Jesus mean? I am upset because I see something that is not there?
Well, all I can write is this:
Just practice it.
Please.
Really, all this lesson means is that when we’re upset in any form on the scale of emotions from rage to despair, we’re feeling separate and not joined with God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit…or however you relate to the love within you, doesn’t matter.
Also, and this is such an important and loving thought…
ACIM is calling to you. In some part of your “right” mind meaning you want to feel the love, peace and joy of God and no longer want to stay stuck, you have found this spiritual path. Perhaps you heard about it from a friend or saw an advertisement for a study group or have had the blue book for years or decades and couldn’t get into it.
Perhaps you’ve tried to get through the WB lessons on your own to no avail. Perhaps you saw announcements about offerings from MiraclesOne.
Doesn’t matter.
ACIM is calling to you. You have answered the call.
Just stick with it and remember above all that you do NOT have to understand any or a few of the lessons, you only need to apply them to your life with great specificity when you can.
In this country, we are all or most of us intent on understanding in order to apply anything to our lives. Our ACIM is counter-intuitive. We’re trusting that the lessons are working even when we are highly skeptical and impatient.
Have a wonderful day!
All my love,
Gayle

Since you’re here… …we have a small favor to ask. More people are reading our posts, listening to our audios and watching our videos than ever before but far fewer are donating for it. As an all-volunteer ministry, you can see why we need to ask for your help. MiraclesOne provides ACIM resources freely however it takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe in encouraging others to practically apply the Course principles in their lives – because it might just make the one difference in your life. If everyone who reads, listens or watches and likes what we offer helps to pay for it we can continue to afford our expenses and keep our resources FREE to all ACIM Students. Monthly Donors receive free gifts in appreciation for their support.
