The Practice Undoes Us
The Workbook promotes an experience. It is not to be just read, but practiced. The practice undoes us. It unwinds us like a ball of yarn. And at the end of the skein is nothing. No thing. No thing reveals Everything. The lesson of the day offers us specific instructions for undoing.
Eventually we are undone enough that we begin to enjoy true perception–an experience of receiving the truth of Who We Are, which induces a natural inclination (the miracle) to give love to others, which reflects back to us the love that we are, which strengthens our conviction that our true identity is God, and so on.
We are learning to recognize how the ego thinks, and not to take the ego seriously. We are encouraged to choose again–choose the right-mindedness of the Holy Spirit’s guidance. And we learn through repetition. This is the mind-training ACIM offers. It is thorough, flawless, mighty. It is loving, uncompromising, truth. It is the memory of God within your mind, calling you.
We are all God-blessed. God wants us to claim our inheritance. The Workbook instructs us on how to do so.
