Question the reality of the problem
Last week we got into how the cause of the world is attack thoughts. This can feel overwhelming because it turns out that everything in this world is based on an attack thought–a fear-based thought–including our very breath.
The original attack thought came from the ego. The ego spun a tale that God would seek vengeance against us because we stole life from Him. That fear-based idea was embraced by the Son of God and he/we rapidly descended into “little me” identity as we bought into the ego’s story of sin, guilt and fear.
The ego’s purpose for each breath we take is to testify to the body’s reality. Realizing this has a deeply healing effect on us. Realizing this is a profound change of mind. Realizing this requires looking at our guilty attack thoughts and overcoming our resistance to looking at them.
For me, this realization arrives inch by inch, as much as I can tolerate releasing personal identity, little by little. The Holy Spirit uses time, which the ego invented, to undo time … and that takes time :).
Lesson 41 in the ACIM Workbook encourages us to “question the reality of the problem” because as we question, we become aware that deep within us is the Truth. And “the way will open, if you believe that it is possible”.
So let’s sink down and inward and be willing to believe it is quite possible to reach God because it is the most natural thing in the world.
