Today we will conclude the Fourth Review in the workbook of A Course in Miracles.
Below are the links to my original posts for the lessons we are revisiting today:
Day 139: I will accept Atonement for myself.
Day 140: Only salvation can be said to cure.
Let us give five minutes as we wake and five minutes before we fall asleep to meditate upon the following:
My mind holds only what I think with God.
As we close our eyes to join our minds and all its thoughts with God, let us see no images among the blankness there within. Do not allow your thoughts to take a single shape or form; the imaginary film screen of our mind has ceased its play. Instead, just simply Listen, as you wait to hear His Voice. With your inner ear you may begin to hear the faintest chimes; each tone just one of many - hundreds, thousands, even more. Each one represents another life, another soul, another Creation of God. The sounds begin to pulsate, growing louder as they chime in rapid succession. Soon they all begin to blend together, indistinguishable from each other. They converge, creating Harmony, in One sustained and Loving Tone.
I will accept Atonement for myself.
Atonement for oneself is to walk the path toward God. It does not mean repentance for the sins we have committed, for in God's eyes we are sinless. Atonement, then, is recognizing where we are right now, and where we long to be. Atonement is the guided road which we must walk to free ourselves from all illusions we have made on earth. To atone is to forgive, and to forgive is to love wholly. Loving wholly is with reverence for the Truth of Who We Are, to know that each of us is equal and a part of one another.
Only salvation can be said to cure.
Modern remedies may only seem to solve the pangs of illness. But what we're really doing is replacing one illusion for another. The only cure for sickness is to put our minds at ease, for dis-ease cannot be where one is peaceful and serene. Salvation brings us Peace, for it has saved us from the thought that we are dying and alone. We can never die, and nor could we be ever left alone. God is with us always - in the air we breathe, the souls we meet, the earth we walk upon... When we Truly realize this, we are Saved and will no longer be susceptible to sickness.
Salvation will be ours when we decide to follow God's Angels along the path of the Atonement. His Light and Truth shall guide our way. And as we watch false dreams dissolve, all illness will depart our bodies; for we will have recognized the Sacred Self we are.
Until tomorrow,
Journeyman
