Extending Miracles - ACIM's Workbook Lesson 43

Extending Miracles
by, Adrienne Dumas



Lesson 43; God is my source. I cannot see apart from Him.

I awoke this morning feeling very angry. I was angry about many things all of which seem to be keeping peace from me. I wrote down all of the things I felt angry about as a sort of "list". I wasn't sure why I was doing this, but I felt like I really needed to. I was angry about certain situations and at certain people. I was believing in separation and thus experiencing fear.

Then I read todays lesson.It said "perception is not an attribute of God". If God does not percieve, but rather only KNOWS then anger is not an attribute of God because anger comes from wrong percpetion. God only knows me and all of my brothers as ONE. He knows us only as LOVE. How wonderful! I am so grateful that He sees me Truly. I am so grateful that God does not perceive but rather knows only Love. This is what I want - to remember and know only Love and not the illusion of separation.

The lesson also says that for any seeming distressing situation I should say today, "God is my Source. I cannot see this apart from Him.": So, for everything on my "list of anger" I quietly repeated "God is my Source. I cannot see this apart from Him." And for each seeming person that I was angry at I would say, "God is my Source. I cannot see you apart from Him.:

I also felt more peacefulness as I repeated phrases like "I see Truly through the eyes of forgiveness." "The Holy Spirit shows me only a world of Light." " I see the world as blessed." "I see only my own Real thoughts, which are Gods thoughts of Love."

Finally today I also said regarding my seeming "anger situations" which now seem more like Lessons in Forgiveness, of which I am grateful: Holy Spirit, how do you see this? I open my mind to Your healing perception. I see innocence where I once saw guilt. I see peace where I once saw reason for anger. I give these situations to Him and say "I can hardly wait to see the good that comes from this."

To help me release this anger, I visualized the Silver Violet Flame filling this paper. I saw this silver violet flame "erasing" this anger from my body and all karma associated with it. I saw the silver violet flame going into all of these situations, erasing the anger there and releasing it into the Light of God. Holy Spirit then takes my hand and leads me to that quiet, peaceful ocean of love where I can completely let go and Let God. I let go fo my anger, my belief in separation as well as my belief in being a body with a personality. If I have no body, personality or seemingly separate things and people in my "life" then how can I be angered or upset in anyway? My Holy Brothers are One with me. Dreams cannot hurt our Reality for dreams are not real.

Then, I crumbled up the paper and burnt it in my fireplace. I felt lighter and freer for the rest of the day. *And can you believe it, when I crumbled up the paper I got a paper cute. But I told myself, "Dreams cannot hurt me. As Gods Holy Son I exist in eternal peace and ulitimate well-being."
