ACIM Lesson 16 2025

I have no neutral thoughts.

I woke up with anxiety this morning. It was mostly about my children. My daughter had surgery yesterday, and it was rough. My son, who is living with me now, has been deeply depressed. Thoughts about them crowded my mind. Those thoughts were not neutral, and they were creating in their likeness. Yikes! It was like I had not learned anything from the Course.

So, what I did was to review all the lessons up to this one because I knew the answer was there, but the ego thoughts were obscuring it. At first, it wasn’t helping, but I persisted. Soon, I began to smile. It is easy to get caught up in the story that is unfolding and forget the purpose. I can use the story to go more deeply into the illusion or give it to the Holy Spirit to lift me out of the darkness. I chose the Holy Spirit, and He never lets me down.
