ACIM Workbook Lesson 85

< Previous Lesson                                                              Next Lesson >


Today’s review will cover these ideas:
1. (69My grievances hide the light of the world in me.
My grievances show me what is not there, and hide from me what I would see. Recognizing this, what do I want my griev­ances for? They keep me in darkness and hide the light. Griev­ances and light cannot go together, but light and vision must be joined for me to see. To see, I must lay grievances aside. I want to see, and this will be the means by which I will succeed.
2. Specific applications for this idea might be made in these forms:
Let me not use this as a block to sight.

The light of the world will shine all this away.

I have no need for this. I want to see.


3. (70My salvation comes from me.
Today I will recognize where my salvation is. It is in me because its Source is there. It has not left its Source, and so it cannot have left my mind. I will not look for it outside myself. It is not found outside and then brought in. But from within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect the light that shines in me and in itself.
4. These forms of the idea are suitable for more specific applications:
Let this not tempt me to look away from me for my salvation.

I will not let this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my salvation.

This has no power to remove salvation from me.
