ACIM Lesson 175A Review Lesson 159

Words are only aids, and to be used, except at the beginning and the end of practice periods, to recall the mind, as needed, to its purpose. We place faith in the experience that comes from practice, not the means we use. We wait for the experience and recognize that it is only here conviction lies. We use the words and try and try again to go beyond them to their meaning, which is far beyond their sound. The sound grows dim and disappears, as we approach the Source of meaning. It is Here that we find rest.

Welcome to Active Meditation,

A Course in Miracles,

Lesson 175,

Review,

Lesson 159.

I give the miracles I have received.

Steady our feet,

Father.

Let our doubts be quiet.

Let our holy minds be still and speak to us.

Lead our practicing.

We will listen to your word and make it ours.

We accept the word you offer us to unify our practicing as we review the thoughts that you have given us in these lessons.

God is love,

And therefore so am I.

Review,

Lesson 159.

I give the miracles I have received.

No one can give what they have not received.

To give something requires first you have it in your own possession.

The laws of heaven and the laws of the world agree,

But here they also separate.

The world believes that to possess a thing it must be kept.

Salvation teaches otherwise.

Salvation teaches to give is how to recognize you have received.

It is the proof that what you have is yours.

You understand that you are healed when you give healing.

You accept forgiveness as accomplished in yourself when you forgive.

You recognize your brother or sister as yourself,

And thus do you perceive that you are whole.

There is no miracle you cannot give,

For all miracles are given you.

Receive them now.

Open the storehouse of your mind where miracles are laid,

And give all the miracles away.

Say to yourself,

Say in your mind,

I give the miracles I have received.

I give the miracles I have received.

Things which seem quite solid in this world are merely shadows in heaven,

Transparent,

Faintly seen at times,

And never able to obscure the light that shines beyond them.

Holiness has been restored to vision can see.

Repeat to yourself,

I give the miracles I have received.

Ponder on this,

I give the miracles I have received.

Behold the store of miracles set out for you to give.

Are you not worth the gift when God appointed it be given to you?

Judge not,

As dreamed the dream of a forgiven world.

It is his gift whereby a sweet transition can be made from death,

From hopelessness.

Let us for an instant dream with Christ.

His dream awakens us.

Christ's vision gives us the means for a return to our unlost and everlasting sanctity in God.

Say to yourself,

I give the miracles I have received.

Ponder on this,

I give the miracles I have received.

God is love,

And therefore so am I.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
