Food And Nutrition For Inner Growth 9 (Acim)

March 17, 2009 6 am


Just now when I read ACIM lesson 77 (I am entitled to miracles), I felt I was totally at peace and calm.

However, when I read the text page 146-148 (The Undivided Will of the Sonship), my emotions gradually triggered and I could feel intense waves of energy moving/vibrating in my body. I felt very touched when I slowly read the text word by word and line by line. As I reached the 2nd half of para 2, my tears began to flow, and the intensity was greater and greater as I continued to read the text very slowly. Then I started crying again like yesterday morning. I cried when I reached para 4 until the end (ie para 6, page148). These few para are very powerful indeed.

The inner feeling this morning was the same as that of yesterday morning. This time however I slowly repeated the reading aloud over and over again for 5 times from para 2 to the end (ie para 6), and I cried as I read slowly. By the time when I read for the 5th time, my emotions began to subside gradually and I regained my calm.

The feeling is so great and marvelous as I could feel the power of love within me. At that moment I sent my deep gratitude to God for His Grace.

Quote below some very powerful statements from the text I read this morning.

Para 2

“….The recognition of God is the recognition of yourself. There is no separation of God and His creation…Let the Love of God shine upon you by your acceptance of me. My reality is yours and His. By joining your mind with mine you are signifying your awareness that the Will of God is One…”

Para 3

“..God’s Oneness and ours are not separate, because His Oneness encompasses ours. To join with me is to restore His power to you because we are sharing it. I offer you only the recognition of His power in you, but in that lies all truth. As we unite, we unite with Him….”

Para 4

“… When you unite with me you are uniting without the ego, because I have renounced the ego in myself and therefore cannot unite with yours. Our union is therefore the way to renounce the ego in you. The truth in both of us is beyond the ego. Our success in transcending the ego is guaranteed by God, and I share this confidence for both of us and all of us. I bring God’s peace back to all His children because I received it of Him for us all...”

Para 5

“...Would you know the Will of God for you? Ask it of me who know it for you and you will find it….Ours is simply the journey back to God Who is our home. Whenever fear intrudes anywhere along the road to peace, it is because the ego has attempted to join the journey with us and cannot do so. Sensing defeat and angered by it, the ego regards itself as rejected and becomes retaliative. You are invulnerable to its retaliation because I am with you. On the journey you have chosen me as your companion instead of the ego. Do not attempt to hold on to both, or you will try to go in different directions and will lose the way…”

Para 6

“… The ego’s way is not mine, but it is also not yours. The Holy Spirit has one direction for all minds, and the one He taught is yours. Let us not lose sight of His direction through illusions, for only illusions of another direction can obscure the one for which God’s Voice speaks in all of us. Never accord the ego the power to interfere with the journey. It has none because the journey is the way to what is true. Leave all illusions behind, and reach beyond all attempts of the ego to hold you back. I go before you because I am beyond the ego. Reach therefore for my hand because you want to transcend the ego…
