ACIM Lesson 5 2025

I am not upset for the reason I think.

This lesson is one that has been essential to my practice. Besides coming to realize that I am never upset for the reason I think and thus always looking deeper, there are two other ideas that would guide me. There are no small upsets. I didn’t know that, but once I thought about it, I realized how true it is. I am either upset or I am at peace. I cannot be upset in any way and still be at peace. What a revelation that was! And this one: I cannot keep this form of upset and let the others go. Of course, now that I consider this, it is obvious for the above reason. I can let go of a thousand upsets, and if there is one more, I will still not be at peace.

This morning’s thoughts
I am anxious that I have spent too much money.
I am anxious that I am not going to be happy with my purchase.
I am worried about my son, who is depressed.

I am not upset about these issues for the reason I think.
I am willing to forgive them and let them go, recognizing they may seem different in form, but in content, they are all the same. These days, I value my peace above all other things.
