Thoughts with Mari: Lesson 4

The idea that thoughts are meaningless can seem quite daunting-one of those ideas which I might actively resist. This was certainly true when I first did the Workbook. I found myself asking, “How can you say that thoughts are meaningless? What about loving ones? What about reverent ones? What about joyful ones?”
It really wasn’t until today that I came to peace with the idea, and here are the sentences which I found particularly helpful. I hope you will too.
“Do not be afraid to use “good” thoughts as well as “bad.” None of them represents your real thoughts, which are being covered up by them. The “good” ones are but shadows of what lies beyond, and shadows make sight difficult. The “bad” ones are blocks to sight, and make seeing impossible. 6 You do not want either.”
Blessings,
Mari

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.
