" Lesson 104

"I seek but what belongs to me in truth."

Today's idea continues with the thought
that joy and peace are not but idle dreams.
They are your right, because of what you are.
They come to you from God, Who cannot fail
to give you what He wills. Yet must there be
a place made ready to receive His gifts.
They are not welcomed gladly by a mind
which has {instead received} the gifts it made
where His belong, as substitutes for them.|

Today we would remove all meaningless
and self-made gifts which we have placed upon
the holy altar where God's gifts belong.
[These] are the gifts which are our own in truth.
[These] are the gifts which we inherited
before time was, and which will still be ours
when time has passed into eternity.
[These] are the gifts which are within us now,
for they are timeless. And we need not wait
to have them. They belong to us today.|
Therefore we will to have them now, and know
in choosing them in place of what we made
we but unite our will with what God wills,
and recognize the same as being One.

Our longer practice periods today,
the hourly five minutes given truth
for your salvation, should begin with this:

"I seek <but> what belongs to me in truth,
And joy and peace are my inheritance."

Then lay aside the conflicts of the world
which offer other gifts and other goals
made of illusions, witnessed to by them,
and sought for only in a world of dreams.|

All this we lay aside, and seek instead
that which is truly ours, as we ask
to recognize what God has given us.
We clear a holy place within our minds
before His altar, where His gifts of peace
and joy are welcome, and to which we come
to find what has been given us by Him.
We come in confidence today, aware
that what belongs to us in truth is what
He gives. And we would wish for nothing else,
for nothing else belongs to us in truth.|

So do we clear the way for Him today
by simply recognizing that His Will
is done already, and that joy and peace
belong to us as His eternal gifts.
We will not let ourselves lose sight of them
between the times we come to seek for them
where He has laid them. This reminder will
we bring to mind as often as we can:

"I seek but what belongs to me in truth.
God's gifts of joy and peace are all I want." "

" Lesson 104
"I seek but what belongs to me in truth."

This is the kind of stupidity I have come to expect from
ACIM followers.

Here he is parroting something from that dreadful ACIM documnet,
and claiming to be in touch with the truth.

He honestly doesn't see the irony.

ACIM is Christianity in a new-age costume. It is a whole lot of
the old spiritual poisons salted with a few timeless Truths found
just about everywhere.

The real course in miracles is called "The Nature of Personal
Reality" by Jane Roberts.
