ACIM Workbook Lesson 103 ~ April 13

" Lesson 103

"God, being Love, is also happiness."

Happiness is an attribute of love.
It cannot be apart from it, nor can
it be experienced where love is not.
Love has no limits, being everywhere.
And therefore joy is everywhere as well.
Yet can the mind deny that this is so,
believing there are gaps in love where sin
can enter, bringing pain instead of joy.

This strange belief would limit happiness
by redefining love as limited,
and introducing opposition in
what has no limit and no opposite.|
Fear is associated [now] with love,
and its results become the heritage
of minds [which] think what they have made is real.
These images, with no reality
in truth, bear witness to the fear of God,
forgetting being Love He must be joy.

This basic error we will try again
to [shift] to truth today, and teach ourselves:

"God, being Love, is also happiness.
To fear Him is to be afraid of joy."

Begin your [longer exercises for]
today with this association, which
corrects the false belief that God is fear.
It also emphasizes happiness
belongs to you because of what He is.|

Allow this one correction to be <placed>
within your minds each waking hour today.
Then welcome all the happiness it brings,
as truth replaces fear, and joy becomes
what you expect to take the place of pain.
God being Love, it will be given you.
Bolster <this> expectation frequently
throughout the day, and quiet all your fears
with this assurance, kind and wholly true:

"God, being Love, is also happiness.
And it is happiness I seek today.
I cannot fail, because I seek the truth." "

More fluffy-bunny, new-age, sew-age from the ACIM zealots.

Why are they (supposedly) always going on about God? God can
take of Itself. _We_ are our rightful concern, and God does NOT
intervene directly in human affairs. Ever. God gives _us_ the
creative abilities to deal with our own problems.

But would-be gurus/priests always claim to speak for God, because
it makes them look superior and enlightened. Even thuogh there is
NOONE on this plane advanced enough to communicate directly with
God.

Love is a part of what God is, obviosuly. And so is happiness.
But there's one hell of a lot more to It! like DUH. Nothing
exists without the approval of God. All existence is Blessed.

God is also agony and pain and suffering and despair and murder
and poverty and loneliness and anger and frustration and death.

These ACIM people are truly clueless. They are miserable people
because they try to be joy and peace and light all the time, which
is impossible.

They don't realize that Pollyanna died of thirst because she wouldn't
let it rain in her world...

"The Nature of Personal Reality" by Jane Roberts is the real course
in miracles. ACIM is just disguised Christianity and as such is
spiritual poison. It is the most deceptive document I've ever
encountered.
