There is no point in lamenting the world.

My focus in these initial classes has been the metaphysics of A Course in Miracles. We’ve been opening our minds to the cause of our unhappiness so that we don’t feel at the mercy of the effects–our problems in the world, both personal and global.

We now dip into the ACIM Workbook, specifically Lesson 23: I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts. Give it a read on your own. It outlines the three steps of the forgiveness practice which is the underpinning of the miracle.

Forgiveness is our way out of the ego’s dream of sin, guilt and fear. Forgiveness is the method, the process, the formula for allowing miracles to flow through us, paving the way to spiritual awakening.

“There is no point in lamenting the world” is one of my favorite Course quotes. It goes well with “…seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world.” (T-21.Intro.1:7) Forgiveness is how we change our minds. The miracle is the healing, whether we are aware of it or not. Trust is what keeps us coming back to the forgiveness practice, using time to build certainty in the Holy Spirit’s guidance.

A Course in Miracles is an inside job. If you want to save the world, you must recognize your Self first. Then you will become a Love transmitter and a new kind of solution will inform you.
