My thoughts* on ACIM Workbook Lesson 158, June 8, 2025, Today I Learn to Give as I Receive

Today I learn to give as I receive.

1. What has been given you?

²The knowledge that you are a mind, in Mind and purely mind, sinless forever, wholly unafraid, because you were created out of love.

³Nor have you left your Source, remaining as you were created.

⁴This was given you as knowledge which you cannot lose.

⁵It was given as well to every living thing, for by that knowledge only does it live.

* Did you know that rocks share this knowledge with us human beings?

* Can’t call a rock “dumb” anymore. 😉

* “In Mind” may be the only part of this paragraph that suggests that it is GOD that you are a part of, even though in this document GOD is probably used 1000 times. Lol

* Source has become one of “the words” to use when speaking of the FATHER from which we all come and exist in.

* Created out of love. Unafraid forever because of the fact that you know this.

* Yet within the world of “belief in separation from God” fear is the only emotion from which all things are calculated, participated in, and even planned for.

* I find myself in a state of fear about Elon today. He learned how to punch people in the face due to his father’s berating him for not fighting according to a program that I watched last night. I would not want to be exposed to that possibility.

* Like the rifles of the last fella, SPIRIT says he won’t hurt me. In form, maybe not, but in soul he could IF I ALLOWED HIM TO. I do not want to get punched in the face, figuratively or otherwise. He might attempt it, but it would be that it comes back to him because “walking in God” is the only way a union between us could work and that is what happens in the FALSE world of Karma, where GOD is not allowed.

* If he does not choose to truly acknowledge and be God’s Vessel, he may well approach me with the subconscious intent to “shut me up,” rather than to free the human consciousness, like the other fella and most of those he hung around with, did.

* I have to admit that it was his video where he said he would fight the fellow who owns Facebook that told me he was “hot.” I don’t know. I do not like fighting. Can’t stand it, actually even when I know it is fake and choreographed it troubles me. Yet, that is what triggered my sense of sexual awareness of Elon Musk. Hmm, it was when he was speaking about the various martial arts he knows, maybe that was it and not the fighting. Gosh, I hope so.

* He knows about five different kinds. I know of the discipline and reverence for life that is taught in these arts. I also know the raw strength that lays there. Danger, if not disciplined. Grimes spoke of how Elon can bring out the dark side that his father showed him, I think this is where my fear is at. Even though I still “feel” the connection AND the call from him.

* You might laugh at me, but I think his “spat” with President Trump was to see what I would do. How would I respond to his behavior. Towards, both of them actually. You have to admit it would be a good way for me to see the kick back that a life in the public would give someone, plus it would check MY loyalties to each of them and where I could be persuaded or influenced, at least, away from my witnessing of God as I understand HYMN. I feel like we “had our first fight because I finally really put Elon in his place and told him to quit kicking up such a fuss, not in so many words but I really did.

* Sure, I know what I sound like, and that is ok. It is all a dream state anyway. The only thing that would trouble me about it is if it persuaded anyone away from faith or knowledge of Father by my sharing of these things. But, like I have said before, this is not me that is promoting this and I do not believe it to be one sided. In my last relationship, I really got trained to be in “awareness of energy,” rather than words or behaviors what with the rifles that I sat beside regularly, and then the distancing and ghosting he did after the love-bombing. It put me in a “spider man sensory space.” Lol.

* I think it was, in part, to prepare me to explore this realm of thought connection with Elon.

* One could say it is satisfying my “romantic side” without me being exposed to form but here is what I feel SPIRIT is telling us with this. That our thoughts create our reality and we need to be observant and master of them. And that they have impact across the globe and across the cosmos. So, I approach it without fear, even though I am terrified. And it seems so counter intuitive to everything that is logical.

* Lol, seems insane doesn’t it? I do so because I KNOW that I have stepped out of the way and I am letting Father have the controls in my life and in my thoughts. Well, there you are. It is difficult to explain how I know what it is I know but trust me, I know it. And if I am just crazy who is going to listen to me seriously anyway? If I am not “just crazy” maybe my story will catch your attention long enough to help you remember the ONE Who walks in, through, and as you, as well.

* Trust me, I care enough about my work and y’all not to jeopardize it this way, without feeling that Father is really calling me to do this. I also know how many times I have been broken and busted. I would not put myself in harms way psychologically or otherwise without the internal witness that what I am speaking of is how Father would have me express my testimony of HYMN at this time.

* Then, again, maybe I am just nuts. You get to be the judge of this. I have to tell you that either way I am playing with the idea of going to Texas at the end of my lease, just to see what the future of mankind looks like and be among people who dare to dream “impossible” dreams. 😊

2. You have received all this.

²No one who walks the world but has received it.

³It is not this knowledge which you give, for that is what creation gave.

⁴All this cannot be learned.

⁵What, then, are you to learn to give today?

⁶Our lesson yesterday evoked a theme found early in the text.

⁷Experience cannot be shared directly, in the way that vision can.

⁸The revelation that the Father and the Son are one will come in time to every mind.

⁹Yet is that time determined by the mind itself, not taught.

3. The time is set already.

²It appears to be quite arbitrary.

³Yet there is no step along the road that anyone takes but by chance.

⁴It has already been taken by him, although he has not yet embarked on it.

⁵For time but seems to go in one direction.

⁶We but undertake a journey that is over.

⁷Yet it seems to have a future still unknown to us.

* This reflects the quantum physics aspect of what Elon, and I are doing, according to the witness inside of me. We are doing it very publically. I really feel that we are having a relationship, in public, without ever having met. (And you wonder why Father drew me away from people. Haha)

4. Time is a trick, a sleight of hand, a vast illusion in which figures come and go as if by magic.

²Yet there is a plan behind appearances that does not change.

³The script is written.

⁴When experience will come to end your doubting has been set.

⁵For we but see the journey from the point at which it ended, looking back on it, imagining we make it once again; reviewing mentally what has gone by.

* We want to remove ourselves from belief in violence and upheaval. Let go of it in your minds, even as these things need to be addressed in our society. War and any other terror must be let go, even though we lift up with respect those who have risked or given their all for us.

* I am letting go of generational fears of abusive, violent, and neglectful relationships through acknowledging what is happening between Elon and me. Each of us gets to work through this process. Letting go of our idea of time will go a long way in expediting or speeding up the healing.

5. A teacher does not give experience, because he did not learn it.

²It revealed itself to him at its appointed time.

³But vision is his gift.

⁴This he can give directly, for Christ’s knowledge is not lost, because He has a vision He can give to anyone who asks.

⁵The Father’s Will and His are joined in knowledge.

⁶Yet there is a vision which the Holy Spirit sees because the Mind of Christ beholds it too.

6. Here is the joining of the world of doubt and shadows made with the intangible.

²Here is a quiet place within the world made holy (*made whole, healed, restored as it was given by the Creator) by forgiveness and by love.

* Love IS GOD moving through us, forgiveness is the action of the Atonement that reveals its presence to us.

* It is inside in our imaginations ONCE we are willing to allow the possibility of a loving Father in Heaven.

³Here are all contradictions reconciled, for here the journey ends.

⁴Experience—unlearned, untaught, unseen—is merely there.

⁵This is beyond our goal, for it transcends what needs to be accomplished.

⁶Our concern is with Christ’s vision.

⁷This we can attain.

* Simply imagining IS the CREATION if done in love.

* Seeing God makes it all real.

7. Christ’s vision has one law.

²It does not look upon a body, and mistake it for the Son whom God created.

³It beholds a light beyond the body; an idea beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful mistakes, and fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin.

⁴It sees no separation.

⁵And it looks on everyone, on every circumstance, all happenings and all events, without the slightest fading of the light it sees.

8. This can be taught; and must be taught by all who would achieve it.

²It requires but the recognition that the world can not give anything that faintly can compare with this in value; nor set up a goal that does not merely disappear when this has been perceived.

³And this you give today: See no one as a body.

⁴Greet him as the Son of God he is, acknowledging that he is one with you in holiness (*WHOLENESS).

9. Thus are his sins forgiven him, for Christ has vision that has power to overlook them all.

* In the framework of the language that I speak today, THIS is SEEING GOD.

²In His forgiveness are they gone.

³Unseen by One (*the Whole that you are as Christ within Father) they merely disappear, because a vision of the holiness (*wholeness) that lies beyond them comes to take their place.

⁴It matters not what form they took, nor how enormous they appeared to be, nor who seemed to be hurt by them.

⁵They are no more.

⁶And all effects they seemed to have are gone with them, undone and never to be done.

* You know, I did not respond to Elon as soon as I felt the “attraction.” That came over time watching and his energy reaching across the world. A couple months into it now, I am able to allow thoughts of the other fella come through and I am floored at the way I allowed myself to be taken in and the amount of ill will it took for that person to play as if we might have had something while despising me. I have these kind of romances all the time. It is nauseating how we can con ourselves into believing that hate is what we think is love.

* My faith upholds me. Because of it I do get to see the nonsense and bear witness to the truth that God’s creation is innocent of evil and any sort of self or projected harm. That is huge to me and what I stand on.

* I give my all psychologically and I do not seek to accumulate things to save anyone here because I know they are already saved. Elon seeks and has manifested huge things to save the world in form. Perhaps that is the attraction for me. I have no doubt he would become bored with that quickly. I too, would fail his projected insights in terms of what was the “right thing to do” and my slowness ~ which he practices, by the way in “silence” and such things according to the videos I have watched would irk him, eventually.

* I do not have “the grit” to bolster through that, not even if our union would save the world. Because, if it did, it would be because we showed what those who know that GOD IS and Christ is all that is could do, in having their dreams come true in a way that many others are blessed. SPIRIT reminds me that people will see things with envy anyway and the battle to tear anything that is good would continue regardless.

* I will hold within my heart and mind all that is good and true and bear witness of it. Father, let me be YOUR Voice and not my own. Let me bow to whatever comes before me as a witness of your reality and love to your Son, amen.

10. Thus do you learn to give as you receive.

²And thus Christ’s vision looks on you as well.

³This lesson is not difficult to learn, if you remember in your brother you but see yourself.

⁴If he be lost in sin, so must you be; if you see light in him, your sins have been forgiven by yourself.

* I love this part and this I can do, right here and right now.

⁵Each brother whom you meet today provides another chance to let Christ’s vision shine on you, and offer you the peace of God.

11. It matters not when revelation comes, for that is not of time.

²Yet time has still one gift to give, in which true knowledge is reflected in a way so accurate its image shares its unseen holiness; its likeness shines with its immortal love.

³We practice seeing with the eyes of Christ today.

⁴And by the holy gifts we give, Christ’s vision looks upon ourselves as well.

(ACIM, W-158.1:1–11:4)

* Perhaps I am ready to look at my situation and give up the desire to manifest happiness in form, with peace and understanding that it matters not what is in the world of form within I am in Heaven Eternally, regardless. If something else is to manifest to witness to the Son, that is God’s business, I am not going to try to prepare for it. Let me be about my business and witness of the Father in all that I am, amen.

Till next time, God Bless, debi.
