Thoughts with Mari: Lesson 39

How sly the ego is! It tells me that I should understand the Workbook lessons because I’m an intelligent, mature woman, right? Then it upbraids me when I don’t understand something, trying to discourage me from going on. It reads the Course right along with me, doing its best (or worst) to twist what I’m reading to fit its own interpretation. This is true for everything I read or hear about that would lead me out of the hell of guilt I’ve made. So, that’s why applying the ideas to everyday things and thoughts is important to me, and I am grateful.

“We are not concerned with intellectual feats nor logical toys. We are dealing only in the very obvious, which has been overlooked in the clouds of complexity in which you think you think.”‘

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.
