LESSON 4.
These thoughts do not mean anything. They are like the things I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place].
All thoughts? Yes, all thoughts. They are neither “good” nor “bad”, they are used in this practice to begin the process of teaching you what is meaningful and what is meaningless. Do not judge the practice for today. Practice it as written as you continue with the open mind.
It is easy to get preoccupied about the “Why’s” and “How’s” of the actual practice. There may be fear that creeps in with the thought, “What do you mean my thoughts do not mean anything?” Trust and have faith that the lesson will assist you in training your mind. Don’t judge it, just practice. You want peace and you want another way of living in this world. This Course is the guide that will lead you there.
I know I am willing to be trained, that’s why I am here again to share with others. The practice is what helps guide me to peace. The more I practice; the more peace is realized.
As I keep mentioning and do so for myself, the best approach is coming to each and every lesson with a clean and open mind.
Peace,
Rev. Deb

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.
