ACIM Lesson 165 Exercise

"Let not my mind deny the Thought of God."

Lesson 165 cautions against the denial of God's presence within our minds. It acknowledges our tendency to be distracted by worldly concerns, thus obscuring the divine Thought. It encourages us to seek inner peace and silence where God's voice can be heard. By not letting our minds deny God's presence, we can experience His love, guidance, and the eternal truth of our divine identity

Welcome to Active Meditation,

A course in miracles,

Lesson 165.

Let not my mind deny the thought of God.

What makes this world seem real?

Accept your own denial of the truth that lies beyond the world.

What but your thoughts of misery and death obscure the perfect happiness?

What could hide what cannot be concealed except illusion?

What could keep from you what you already have except your choice not to see it,

Denying it is there?

The thought of God created you.

This thought has never left you,

Nor have you ever been apart from it for an instant.

The thought of God is your source of life.

You live by this thought.

The thought of God protects you and cares for you.

Say to yourself,

Say in your mind,

Let not my mind deny the thought of God.

Let not my mind deny the thought of God.

Who would deny God's safety and His peace?

Who would deny God's joy,

His healing and His peace of mind?

Who would deny God's quiet rest,

His calm awakening,

If they but recognized where they abide?

Let not my mind deny the thought of God.

Ask to receive,

And it is given you.

Ask with desire.

You need not be sure that you request the only thing you want.

When you have received,

You will be sure that you have the treasure you have always sought.

What would you then exchange for this treasure?

What would induce you now to let it fade away from your ecstatic vision?

You have exchanged your blindness for the seeing eyes of Christ.

Your mind has come to lay aside denial and accept the thought of God as your inheritance.

I'll be silent as you contemplate.

Let not my mind deny the thought of God.

Ask to receive,

And it is given you.

Welcome heaven as yours,

And it is given you.

Now is all doubting past.

Now is the journey's end made certain.

Now is salvation given you.

Now is Christ's power in your mind to heal as you were healed.

You are among the saviors of the world.

Your destiny lies there and nowhere else.

The thought of God is still in our minds according to his will.

The thought of God created you.

This thought has never left you,

Nor have you ever been apart from it for an instant.

This thought belongs to you.

You live by this thought.

Let not my mind deny the thought of God.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
