Lesson, 14 - Revived '16 - IamACIM.Com - I Am: A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

lesson 14 â??God did not create ameaningless worldâ?? The idea for today is,of course,the reason why a meaningless world is impossible. What God did not create does not exist. And everything that does exist exists as He created it.The world you see has nothing to do with reality.It is of your own making,and it does not exist. The exercises for today are to be practiced with eyes closed throughout.The mind searching period should be short,a minute at most.Do not have more than three practice periods with todayâ??s idea unless you ï¬?nd them comfortable.If you do,it will be because you really understand what they are for. The idea for today is another step in learning to let go the thoughts which you have written on the world,and see the Word of God in their place.The early steps in this exchange,which can truly be called salvation, can be quite difï¬?cult and even quite painful. Some of them will lead you directly into fear.You will not be left there.You will go far beyond it.Our direction is toward perfect safety and perfect peace. With eyes closed,think of all the horrors in the world that cross your mind. Name each one as it occurs to you, and then deny its reality.God did not create it,and so it is not real.Say,for example: â??God did not create that war,and so it is not real.â?? â??God did not create that airplane crash,and so it is not real.â?? â??God did not create that disaster [specify],and so it is not real.â??
