When you fail to comply with the requirements of this course, you have merely made a mistake. This calls for correction, and for nothing else. To allow a mistake to continue is to make additional mistakes, based on the first and reinforcing it. It is this process that must be laid aside, for it is but another way in which you would defend illusions against the truth.
Let all these errors go by recognizing them for what they are. They are attempts to keep you unaware you are one Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace. This is the truth, and nothing else is true. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 95, W-pI.95.9:1-10:3. See also ACIM Lesson 95 Insights.)
As we attempt to practice the daily lesson of the ACIM Workbook, it seems impossible to follow the directions exactly as prescribed. The ego may use this to justify a sense of unworthiness, weakness and guilt. This reinforces the idea that we are separate from everything, including God.
But we are reminded that if we wander away from the lesson, all that is needed is to correct the error rather than reinforce it with guilt and a sense of unworthiness. As we practice and notice we have wandered off track, all that is called for is to return to the practice. Nothing more.
The lesson’s are training us to direct our attention away from the ego’s thought system of guilt and fear. As we practice giving our attention to the Holy Spirit with willingness to receive His loving correction, we are released from the ego’s tyranny. This is our practice for today as we remember that we are One Self, united with our Creator.
