LESSON 242

This day is God’s. It is my gift to Him.

I will not lead my life alone today. I do not understand the world, and so to try to lead my life alone must be but foolishness. But there is One Who knows all that is best for me. And He is glad to make no choices for me but the ones that lead to God. I give this day to Him, for I would not delay my coming home, and it is He Who knows the way to God.

And so we give today to You. We come with wholly open minds. We do not ask for anything that we may think we want. Give us what You would have received by us. You know all our desires and our wants. And You will give us everything we need in helping us to find the way to You.

((((((( forgiven )))))))

LESSON 241

This holy instant is salvation come.

What joy there is today! It is a time of special celebration. For today holds out the instant to the darkened world where its release is set. The day has come when sorrows pass away and pain is gone. The glory of salvation dawns today upon a world set free. This is the time of hope for countless millions. They will be united now, as you forgive them all. For I will be forgiven by you today.

We have forgiven one another now, and so we come at last to You again. Father, Your Son, who never left, returns to Heaven and his home. How glad are we to have our sanity restored to us, and to remember that we all are one.

Lesson 240 – Fear is not justified in any form.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

Heart opens and waves of fearless joy roll forth, east to west, north to south, in to out … undoing the sense of form and Formlessly confirming the lack of justification for fear.

LESSON 240

Fear is not justified in any form.

Fear is deception. It attests that you have seen yourself as you could never be, and therefore look upon a world which is impossible. Not one thing in this world is true. It does not matter what the form in which it may appear. It witnesses but to your own illusions of yourself. Let us not be deceived today. We are the Sons of God. There is no fear in us, for we are each a part of Love Itself.

How foolish are our fears! Would You allow Your Son to suffer? Give us faith today to recognize Your Son, and set him free. Let us forgive him in Your Name, that we may understand his holiness, and feel the love for him which is Your Own as well.

Lesson 239 – The glory of my Father is my own.

by Amy Torres

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

False humility serves no one and keeps our ostrich heads in the sand. True humility reveals to us that we are Glorious. The glory of our Father is our own. We are sinless/Innocent and guiltless/Innocent. We are as God created us … Unified Light … Unified Light … Living Loving Light … gloriously Joined in Peace and Joy … ever-extending Joyful, Peaceful, Unified, Living, Loving, Light … Ashe!

LESSON 239

The glory of my Father is my own.

Let not the truth about ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. Let us instead be thankful for the gifts our Father gave us. Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory any trace of sin and guilt? And can it be that we are not among them, when He loves His Son forever and with perfect constancy, knowing he is as He created him?

We thank You, Father, for the light that shines forever in us. And we honor it, because You share it with us. We are one, united in this light and one with You, at peace with all creation and ourselves.

Lesson 238 – On my decision all salvation rests.

in ACIM Meditations, Today's ACIM Lesson

by Amy Torres

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

I am worthy, beloved, trusted, and holy. I am worthy, beloved, trusted, and holy. I am worthy, beloved, trusted, and holy. My Father knows me to be worthy, completely lovable, absolutely trustworthy, and wholly holy. I love my Father who lets me know my worthiness, belovedness, trustworthiness, and holiness. A circle of love flows naturally between my Father and me. A circle of love includes my brothers, for there are no strangers, and we are aspects of the same mind which ultimately is one state of Mind, worthy, beloved, trusted and holy. My decision is made. I choose my worthiness, belovedness, trustworthiness and holiness, and with that I choose all of you as me and the Holy Spirit as our teacher. Amen.

LESSON 238

On my decision all salvation rests.

Father, Your trust in me has been so great, I must be worthy. You created me, and know me as I am. And yet You placed Your Son’s salvation in my hands, and let it rest on my decision. I must be beloved of You indeed. And I must be steadfast in holiness as well, that You would give Your Son to me in certainty that he is safe Who still is part of You, and yet is mine, because He is my Self.

And so, again today, we pause to think how much our Father loves us. And how dear His Son, created by His Love, remains to Him Whose Love is made complete in him.

Lesson 237 – Now would I be as God created me.

by Amy Torres

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

There is a Light in me — a pilot Light at my center … and when I focus on that Light it grows and radiates in all directions. This Light is a simple, loving state of Mind. It seems to be within me, but I am not the me I thought I was — I am as God created me. Therefore, I am Formless, Changeless, Living, Loving Light. Illuminated, and streaming Great Rays to everyone and everything everywhere in the dream, yet discovering that the dream is within Me. Shine, shine, shine!

LESSON 237

Now would I be as God created me.

Today I will accept the truth about myself. I will arise in glory, and allow the light in me to shine upon the world throughout the day. I bring the world the tidings of salvation which I hear as God my Father speaks to me. And I behold the world that Christ would have me see, aware it ends the bitter dream of death; aware it is my Father’s Call to me.

Christ is my eyes today, and He the ears that listen to the Voice for God today. Father, I come to You through Him Who is Your Son, and my true Self as well. Amen.

Lesson 236 – I rule my mind, which I alone must rule.

Posted on August 24, 2021

in Today's ACIM Lesson

by Amy Torres

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

My mind seems to roll out of my mind and stick its tongue out at me. This is just a comical mirage which I can undo at any time by shifting my perspective. When I choose the Holy Spirit as my teacher, I undo the illusion of my tongue talking itself into something which isn’t real or true. This shift of perspective (a better teacher, a better way) leads to a shift in perception (from the body’s eyes to the reflection of God’s Vision) which is the healing of the mind — the miracle in action. At first, changing my mind, owning the rulership of my kingdom, feels like single-handedly steering a huge oceanliner. But as I maintain my focus and commit to fully turning the ship around, the arc grows smoother and easier with every degree … it becomes clear that the Holy Spirit, not “me” is navigating and the ship turns into Godship, effortlessly radiating Absolute Love.

LESSON 236

I rule my mind, which I alone must rule.

I have a kingdom I must rule. At times, it does not seem I am its king at all. It seems to triumph over me, and tell me what to think, and what to do and feel. And yet it has been given me to serve whatever purpose I perceive in it. My mind can only serve. Today I give its service to the Holy Spirit to employ as He sees fit. I thus direct my mind, which I alone can rule. And thus I set it free to do the Will of God.

Father, my mind is open to Your Thoughts, and closed today to every thought but Yours. I rule my mind, and offer it to You. Accept my gift, for it is Yours to me.

Lesson 235 – God in His mercy wills that I be saved.

by Amy Torres

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

I am safe forever within God’s Arms … I … am … safe … within … God’s Arms … forever … heart-meltingly, quiet-mindedly Safe. Joy-spreadingly, Love-pervadingly Safe. God’s Love surrounds me. God’s Love protects me. God’s Love saves me. God’s Love is me. Amen.

LESSON 235

God in His mercy wills that I be saved.

I need but look upon all things that seem to hurt me, and with perfect certainty assure myself, “God wills that I be saved from this,” and merely watch them disappear. I need but keep in mind my Father’s Will for me is only happiness, to find that only happiness has come to me. And I need but remember that God’s Love surrounds His Son and keeps his sinlessness forever perfect, to be sure that I am saved and safe forever in His Arms. I am the Son He loves. And I am saved because God in His mercy wills it so.

Father, Your Holiness is mine. Your Love created me, and made my sinlessness forever part of You. I have no guilt nor sin in me, for there is none in You.

Lesson 234 – Father, today I am Your Son again.

Posted on August 22, 2021

in ACIM Meditations, Spiritual Psychotherapy, Today's ACIM Lesson

by Amy Torres

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

As dreams of sin and guilt drop away, I am no longer my father’s daughter and my mother’s daughter, duty-bound to them in worldly ways. Now I turn into an innocent white pillar, which then expands into a cloud-white vapor, which lightly swirls and spirals upwards into an unDone ether … from there all is Quiet. All is True. All are equals. No obligations, no expectations, no conditions, no guilt, no sin, no fear, no shame, no need for care and protection — no danger, no illness, no loneliness, no sorrow, no poverty, no depravity, no evil, no exile. Father, today I am Your Son again, safe and happy at Home where the true “I” has always been. Amen.

LESSON 234

Father, today I am Your Son again.

Today we will anticipate the time when dreams of sin and guilt are gone, and we have reached the holy peace we never left. Merely a tiny instant has elapsed between eternity and timelessness. So brief the interval there was no lapse in continuity, nor break in thoughts which are forever unified as one. Nothing has ever happened to disturb the peace of God the Father and the Son. This we accept as wholly true today.

We thank you, Father, that we cannot lose the memory of You and of Your Love. We recognize our safety, and give thanks for all the gifts You have bestowed on us, for all the loving help we have received, for Your eternal patience, and the Word which You have given us that we are saved.

Lesson 233 – I give my life to God to guide today.

by Amy Torres

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

I give all my thoughts to my Father today–vast horizon-like contentment: no words. Empty, space-less. No me. No we. The fullness of no-thingness. I give my Father all my acts as well: speed bump … time slowed … choose again … not my goals, but Your Goals. The air feels tender and smells sweet. Let’s see, my idea of wisdom, or the Wisdom of the Infinite? I think I’ll go with the countless gifts and mercies of the Holy Spirit Who, when followed with complete devotion removes all doubt and restores Truth.

LESSON 233

I give my life to God to guide today.

Father, I give You all my thoughts today. I would have none of mine. In place of them, give me Your Own. I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your Will instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained, and wasting time in vain imaginings. Today I come to You. I will step back and merely follow You. Be You the Guide, and I the follower who questions not the wisdom of the Infinite, nor Love whose tenderness I cannot comprehend, but which is yet Your Perfect gift to me.

Today we have one Guide to lead us on. And as we walk together, we will give this day to Him with no reserve at all. This is His day. And so it is a day of countless gifts and mercies unto us.
