My thoughts* on ACIM Workbook Lesson 113, April 23, 2025: * I Am a Part of the Whole that is Christ, United with My Creator

For morning and evening review:

1. (95) I am one Self, united with my Creator.

* With the proper noun of “Self” one could think of it as the Whole of Christ or as the Whole of my Soul and the various manifestations or lives that I have had.

²Serenity and perfect peace are mine, because I am one Self, completely whole, at one with all creation and with God.

* I relate to this by recognizing the Whole of Christ WITHIN ME as the Consciousness Provided by Father through SPIRIT.

* Jesus tells us in ACIM that SPIRIT IS the Whole of Christ, along with the Voice of Father.

2. (96) Salvation comes from my one Self.

* EVERYTHING COMES FROM FATHER.

* The way to see Salvation from Christ is in the forgiveness of himself by each of us for the original error that led to belief in separation from God.

* That “original error” was “forgetting not to laugh” at the idea of separation from God.

* If a name had to be placed on one individual in the body of Christ that had this thought, it would be Jesus. That is why he is the first in the Atonement and also why it is HIS TESTIMONY of GOD and our faith in it that allows us to SEE GOD among us.

* Jesus said that stillness alone will give you a witness of GOD. That stillness is shutting out all the voices of the world that say you have lack and separation, and are deserving of punishment and death.

* Knowing Jesus is not necessary to find God, BUT FORGIVENESS OF JESUS IS VITAL TO WALKING IN GOD. * THEN, the forgiveness offered in fully accepting the ATONEMENT applies to all circumstances that you come across in the confusion of separation from God, which we currently think of as “life on earth.” Or wherever you may be listening from.

²From my one Self, Whose knowledge still remains within my mind, I see God’s perfect plan for my salvation perfectly fulfilled.

* IN THE WITNESS FROM FATHER BY SPIRIT OF CHRIST, FATHER, AND SPIRIT, WHOSE IDENTITY STILL REMAINS WITHIN MY MIND AND HEART, I “SEE” WITH SPIRITUAL EYES, GOD’S PERFECT PLAN FOR OUR SALVATION PERFECTLY FULFILLED.

* This is what we can have NOW, folks. TODAY, you can have this witness as you accept the REALITY OF GOD and HIS OMNIPOTENCE and AUTHORITY on the last word of “what exactly IS HIS Creation.”

* We cannot fault the scribes for not being able to get this correctly to us. Their work was (astoundingly) huge and significant, considering the onslaught of energy from the ego=god mentality they would have been buffeting. I have felt it myself in my own walk, as we each will to some extent.

3. On the hour:

²I am one Self, united with my Creator.

* I am PART of the body (group, entity, consciousness, personification) that makes up Christ, UNITED (EQUALLY) with my Creator.

* Today, I express it more like Jesus did when he walked on earth in body; when you see the Son of God, you also see the Father, for they are so in tune and of like mind that they are “ONE.”

* It is the greatest joy of the Son to know his is IN the Presence of FATHER. From this comes a peace that passes understanding.

³On the half hour:

⁴Salvation comes from my one Self.

* Salvation came from God, as all things do, and I accept the opportunity to witness of HYMN to the Whole Consciousness of Christ, who truly IS my “Highest Self.”
