Comment:
Here we start to see a shift in the early Workbook Lessons of ACIM. So far it’s been about questioning our thoughts, what we are seeing in the world and HOW we are seeing it, i.e. our feelings about it. Those are all good questions to be asking but not to be left there. Hanging….
That there is another way of seeing, another mind to be thinking and feeling with, is the whole point of the course.
It’s not about being in denial of what we are ‘seeing’ and ‘hearing’, like good old Sergeant Schultz from Hogan’s Heroes (definitely showing my age there:)) I hear nuthink, I see nuthink, I know nuthink!
It is about learning to replace what we think we are seeing and feeling with real seeing or as the course calls it Vision. The acid test of how well we are doing with that is about how we are feeling in our present moment. Our presence.
If we are feeling the kind of Love that comes with Joy & Peace then we are choosing to experience Vision. Anything less than that, then we are still lost in our own thoughts.
I believe life has infinite patience with us. Why? Because no matter how long or how deep I have gone into my own personal rabbit hole, by a simple change of perspective, in an instant, my release into the infinite presence happens. Not just once but as they say, every time a coconut.
