Background
My first year with A Course In Meracles was 1982. While I have set it aside, sometimes for years on end, since then, I have always come back to it. It has stood the test of time for me. A couple of years ago I popped all the lessons into my Google Calendar so that they could come up day by day. This year as I go through them one more time I thought I’d like to do my little bit to promote ACIM by posting daily and adding my comments to the daily lessons. I didn’t think about this till Day 51 so next year I’ll catch up the beginning .

Comment
I decided this year will be the year Id write my book. One of the early chapters will be something like Getting Out Of Your Mind. And nothing else quite speaks to that idea like the first few lessons of the Course. I’ve found tremendous value in questioning the thoughts I find myself thinking. Particularly the thoughts that cluster around any level of upset.
You see, like the infamous Gollum, we make our thoughts so precious to us. Of course it would have ruined the story if Gollum did actually question that preciousness but for us questioning the preciousness of our thoughts can actually be the making of our story.
Your thoughts?
I love to hear them. Please comment in the REPLY box below…
