ACIM Lesson 33 2025

My contemplation of Lesson 33
There is another way of looking at the world.

This is a very simple lesson and a simple exercise. It is to be done as often as possible. That it is simple does not mean it is unimportant. Each of these lessons builds on the other and literally changes the way we think. And what changes the way we think changes everything. It is what we came to learn. It will wake us up.

Today, I will remind myself that there is another way of looking at the world. As I look around myself at my outer environment and as I look within at my inner environment, I notice how the inner is reflected in the outer. I perceive in the outer what I believe to be true. What I perceive to be true about the world will not change until my beliefs change. This is why I want another way of looking at the world.

Like many people, I have been alarmed at what appears to be a strong movement away from oneness and toward separation, away from love and toward fear. I see this on both sides of the divide. But I have discovered there is another way to see this as I remember that before change can occur, I must look at the problem with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will then shine the darkness away. We must, as one, look at the problem, and we are doing that now, even if we don’t understand this is what is happening.

As I ask for another way to see, I am moved toward Love. Always and in every circumstance, I am moved toward Love. I am stunned at the simplicity of the answer. Love does all things, heals all things, makes all things right. If my mind wanders to fear, guilt, or judgment, I ask for another way to see, and Love is there, peace is there.

Now, it is not that I ask for another way to see and decide that love must be the answer. I ask for another way to see, and Love fills my heart and mind. Love is not an answer; Love is the Answer. I don’t choose love from among other answers. I allow Love to overcome all things. Dear God, I am so very grateful for your Answer. And all it took was my willingness to let go of my preconceived solutions so that the Answer could be given to me. Today, I gladly remind myself to ask for another way to look at the world, both the outer world and my inner world. I ask often and with anticipation of the Answer that will be received by my open mind.
