ACIM Lesson 8 2025

My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.

I seem to be thinking about hearing from a friend this morning, the discomfort of getting out in the freezing weather this morning, and a precious video of my granddaughter I watched last night. Wondering if I will have time to write some more about Chapter 14 today. But my mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.

I notice how much my mind wants to weave a story around these thoughts, but I resist. I am aware of the reason we do this. It keeps us from becoming aware of the real world. What the ego mind doesn’t want to examine too closely is that this preoccupation with the past is meant to protect us from our memory of God. If that happens, we will throw ourselves into Him because we love God so much, and He loves us so much. Then, the ego will dissolve away. I guess there is still a desire for separation and specialness, and it is this desire that makes defending against God seem sane.
