ACIM Lesson 122 Exercise

"Forgiveness Offers Everything I Want" - Remember only this; you need not believe the ideas, you need not accept them, and you need not even welcome them. Some of them you may actively resist. None of this will matter, or decrease their efficacy. But do not allow yourself to make exceptions in applying the ideas the workbook contains, and whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them. Nothing more than that is required.

Lesson 122,

Forgiveness Offers Everything I Want,

Remembering the Gifts Forgiveness Gives.

We undertake our practice today with hope and faith that this will be the day salvation will be ours.

Today,

It will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers and the joy,

The lifting of the veil falls out to you.

Before the light you will receive today,

The world will fade until it disappears and you will see another world arise.

You have no words to picture.

Let's move directly into light and we receive the gifts that have been held in store for us since time began,

Kept waiting for today.

We can detect this light as warm,

Friendly light that moves from above downward,

Swirling around us,

Moving through us.

It brings a feeling of peace,

Of benevolence,

And quiet joy.

As this benevolent light of love and joy moves through us,

It also works to clean us of negativity and to remove bits of anger and resentment and replace them with peace and love.

This compassionate light continues to move through us,

Swirling around us,

Moving through our memories,

Soothing old conflicts,

Repairing our emotional wounds,

Calming our fears.

This energy of the light of love continues to cleanse us of any tendencies to give in to despair or anger by filling our hearts and mind with a pervasive sense of peace.

Surrender to this benevolent light of love and peace,

Which continues to pour through us and about us.

Forgiveness offers everything you want.

Today,

All things you want are given you.

Let not your gifts recede throughout the day.

As you return again to meet a world of shifting change and bleak appearances,

Retain your gifts in clear awareness as you see the changeless in the heart of change.

The light of truth behind appearances.

Be tempted not to let your gifts slip by and drift into forgetfulness,

But hold them firmly in your mind by your attempts to think of them at least a minute as each quarter of an hour passes by.

Believe yourself how precious are these gifts,

With this reminder which has power to hold your gifts in your awareness through the day.

Repeat after me.

Forgiveness offers everything I want.

Today,

I have accepted this as true.

Today,

I have received the gifts of God.

Ponder on this.

Forgiveness offers everything I want.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace.
