ACIM Lessons

by Rev. Veronika Wilcox, O.M.C.

I have worked with the ACIM lessons for seven years now. There have been times when I did them as thoroughly and as sincerely as I could, and there have been times when I didn’t touch them. Living with these lessons has been like a golden thread weaving itself through my life story.

Today I want to share what a difference it has made to me since I first did them, and why I am still working with them on a daily basis, even though much other material has come into my life. Let’s take today’s lesson as an example:

Lesson 265: Creation’s gentleness is all I see. I have indeed misunderstood the world, because I laid my sins on it and saw them looking back at me. How fierce they seemed! And how deceived was I to think that what I feared was in the world, instead of in my mind alone. Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which creation shines. There is no fear in it. Let no appearance of my sins obscure the light of Heaven shining on the world. What is reflected there is in God’s Mind. The images I see reflect my thoughts. Yet is my mind at one with God’s. And so I can perceive creation’s gentleness.

In quiet would I look upon the world, which but reflects Your Thoughts, and mine as well. Let me remember that they are the same, and I will see creation’s gentleness.

I wake up in the morning. I see the sunrise. I remember God and I read the lesson. I get up and soon I notice that I am yet again in a power struggle with my husband. But I remember, ‘Creation’s gentleness is all I see.’ And, ‘The images I see reflect my thoughts.’ What’s going on here? Well, an opportunity to remember, practice, and live the truth. In an instant my thoughts change, and I realize that I have yet again blamed instead of taking 100% responsibility for my experiences.

THIS is how I apply and use these precious lessons daily. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But always, always are they my helpful ‘friends’! AMEN.
