ACIM Lesson 85A Review Lesson 69

Learn to require no special settings in which to apply what you have learned. You will need your learning most in situations that appear to be upsetting, rather than in those that seem to be calm and quiet. The purpose of your learning is to enable you to bring the quiet with you, and to heal distress and turmoil. This is not done by avoiding them and seeking a haven of isolation for yourself.

Lesson 85a review lesson 69 My grievances Hide the light of the world in me.

My grievances show me what is not there,

And hide from me what I would see.

Recognizing this,

What do I want my grievances for?

They keep me in darkness and hide the light.

Grievances and light cannot go together.

But light and vision must be joined for me to see.

To see,

I must lay grievances aside.

I want to see,

And this will be the means by which I will succeed.
