ACIM Lesson 167 Exercise

"There is one life, and that I share with God." This lesson emphasizes the oneness between ourselves and our Creator. It teaches that the life we experience is an eternal, unchanging, and shared reality with God. By recognizing this oneness, we release the illusions of separation, fear, and conflict, allowing us to experience true peace and love.

The lesson encourages us to let go of the belief in individual identity and embrace the idea that we are forever united with God and all of creation.

Welcome to Active Meditation A Course in Miracles Lesson 167 There is one life and that I share with God There are not different kinds of life Life is like the truth Life does not have degrees Life is the one condition in which all that God created share Like all of God's thoughts,

Life has no opposite There is no death because what God created shares His life There is no death because an opposite to God does not exist There is no death because the Father and the Child are one All sorrow,

Loss,

Anxiety,

Suffering,

And pain,

All of these in some way acknowledge death and thus deny you live You think that death is of the body,

Yet death is but an idea irrelevant to what is seen as physical We will not ask for death in any form today Say to yourself,

Say in your mind,

There is one life and that I share with God There is one life and that I share with God Remember ideas leave not their source The emphasis this course has placed upon that idea is due to its centrality in our attempts to change your mind about yourself The idea that ideas leave not their source is the cause of healing That ideas leave not their source is why you cannot die The truth of this idea has established you as one with God Repeat in your mind after me,

There is one life and that I share with God Ideas leave not their source Ponder on this There is one life and that I share with God Ideas leave not their source We share one life because we have one source A source from which perfection comes to us Remaining always in the holy minds which God created perfect As we were,

So are we now and will be forever A sleeping mind must awaken as it sees its own perfection Mirroring the Lord of life so perfectly that the once sleeping mind fades into what is reflected there And now it sleeps no more,

A mere reflection A sleeping mind becomes the thing reflected and becomes the light which makes reflection possible No vision is now needed There is one life and that I share with God The awakened mind is a mind that knows its source The wakened mind knows itself The wakened mind knows its holiness Ideas leave not their source There is one life and that I share with God Nothing real can be threatened Nothing unreal exists Herein lies the peace of God
