My thoughts* on Workbook Lesson 265, for September 21, 2024. See “Creation’s Gentleness” INSIDE of YOU AS REAL, regardless of what appears outside.

Creation’s gentleness is all I see.

* … as real.

* See this INSIDE of YOU and SEE IT AS REAL, regardless of what appears outside.

* God’s Reality is WITHIN HIM. This is where you are as part of His Son. We create as God DOES, WITHIN! KNOW THAT WHAT YOU SEE INSIDE IS REAL, RELESS OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE REAL.

1. I have indeed misunderstood the world, because I laid my sins on it and saw them looking back at me.

²How fierce they seemed!

³And how deceived was I to think that what I feared was in the world, instead of in my mind alone.

⁴Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which creation shines.

⁵There is no fear in it.

⁶Let no appearance of my sins obscure the light of Heaven shining on the world.

⁷What is reflected there is in God’s Mind.

⁸The images I see reflect my thoughts.

* This applies to the WHOLE Sonship. We are NOT alone in our thoughts but a PART of the SONSHIP THAT IS CHRIST.

* DO NOT THINK THAT YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF CHANGING THE WORLD BY SIMPLY DOING WHAT THIS LESSON IMPLIES.

⁹Yet is my mind at one with God’s.

¹⁰And so I can perceive creation’s gentleness.

2. In quiet would I look upon the world, which but reflects Your Thoughts, and mine as well.

²Let me remember that they are the same, and I will see creation’s gentleness.

* … as real because I know that God IS REAL, and nothing exists outside of Him.

* We will come to understand that capacity we have as creators as we envision a clearer picture of Reality today.

* envision (verb) · envisions (third person present) · envisioned (past tense) · envisioned (past participle) · envisioning (present participle)

imagine as a future possibility; visualize:

“she envisioned the admiring glances of guests seeing her home”

(ACIM, W-265.1:1–2:2)

Till next time, God bless, debi.
