Extending Miracles - ACIM's Workbook Lesson 31
Extending Miracles
Lesson 31: I am not the victim of the world I see.
1. What does this lesson mean to me?
I really wish that I would have read this lesson early in the morning like I normally do. On this day I was awakened early and was not able to spend time with the lesson as I normally do each morning (hmm sounds like another "victim" story). I put myself in a "victim" kind of inner-behavior almost the whole day until I came home and read the lesson. I was believing that I was a victim of "many circumstance". I am not the victim of the world I see because I invented this world (whether it is the "outer" world or the "inner" world) and it is simply not real. But I am also determined not to blame myself for any seeming errors, but rather to accept myself and my brothers for the Love that we truly are.
On this day I was watching my mothers "rude behavior to me" and thinking that I was a victim. I was thinking about how my ex and his family stole my things from me and making myself a victim. In one moment I was holding my crying daughter and thinking about how I wish someone were with me to help take care of her instead of being a single parent and thus I was seeing myself as a victim again. Then I was seeing "victim-hood" in others too by listening and believing their stories of being victims whether being victims of a sickness thats "going around" or of other peoples "bad behaviors." Wow not a very fun way of looking at the world or myself. It did not make for a very great day either until I read the lesson and finally went to the Holy Spirit. He showed me that I am not a victim of the world I see. The world as I see it (as the ego sees it) is simply not real. God did not create victimhood - it simply doesn't exist. He created only Love and we are that Love that he created! He also showed me that my sacred brothers cannot be harmed or sick at all because it is not Gods will that we be harmed or sick. Only his Will is true and He wills for us to experience perfect peace and well-being - indeed we are peace and well-being. How could it be any other way? How could we be anything other than perfect Love if that is where we have come from? God isn't stupid or cruel. He is all loving!
2. How can I apply this to my life today?
Today I went to the Holy Spirit and asked him to heal my thoughts of "victimhood". I asked to see as He sees. I was so glad and happy that he showed me the Truth.
