Aug 16, 2017 ~ Daily Contemplation ~ ACIM Workbook Lesson 208 ~ Review of Lesson (188) The peace of God is shining in me now
I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.
(188) The peace of God is shining in me now.
I will be still, and let the earth be still along with me. And
in that stillness we will find the peace of God. It is within
my heart, which witnesses to God Himself.
I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.
Review instructions: Spend at least 15 minutes in the morning and evening contemplating today’s lesson. Repeat today’s idea at least hourly. Use today’s idea throughout the day.
Today’s review idea:
I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
The peace of God is shining in me now.
Today we are reminded how important awareness-watching-awareness meditation is to our goal of Self-realization. Workbook lesson 188 said, “Sit quietly and close your eyes. The light within you is sufficient. It alone has the power to give the gift of sight to you.” And so, we commit to awareness-watching-awareness meditation for a minimum of 15-20 minutes each day. No matter how busy our life appears to be, in self-honesty we realize we can always find at least 15 minutes for this important practice.
When we are not in meditation, we contemplate awareness-life-presence in ourselves, in others and in nature. We let awareness-life-presence become the focus of our perception. We also live as awareness-life-presence instead of living from attachment to thought. Instead of going to our mind’s thoughts about how to perceive, think, speak and act, we quietly ask spiritual intuition for guidance, and we joyously follow the guidance we receive.
Regina Dawn Akers guides a group of committed students who would like to make consistent, gentle progress toward genuine peace, joy and love.

Aug 15, 2017 ~ Daily Contemplation ~ ACIM Workbook Lesson 207 ~ Review of Lesson (187) I bless the world because I bless myself.
I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.
(187) I bless the world because I bless myself.
God’s blessing shines upon me from within my heart,
where He abides. I need but turn to Him, and every sorrow
melts away, as I accept His boundless Love for me.
I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.
Review instructions: Spend at least 15 minutes in the morning and at least 15 minutes in the evening contemplating the lesson for the day. Repeat today’s idea to yourself at least hourly. In addition, use today’s idea throughout the day.
Today’s review idea:
I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
I bless the world because I bless myself.
Stay with the practice of letting spiritual intuition lead you throughout the day. You don’t need ego to guide you. Ego offers nothing of value. Spiritual intuition is the only guide we want now.
Aug 14, 2017 ~ Daily Contemplation ~ ACIM Workbook Lesson 206 ~ Review of Lesson (186) Salvation of the world depends on me
I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.
(186) Salvation of the world depends on me.
I am entrusted with the gifts of God, because I am His Son.
And I would give His gifts where He intended them to be.
I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.
Review instructions: Spend at least 15 minutes in the morning and at least 15 minutes in the evening contemplating the lesson for the day. Also, repeat today’s idea to yourself at least once hourly. In addition, use today’s idea as much as needed as a transition from ego thinking to spiritual intuition.
Today’s review idea:
I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
Salvation of the world depends on me.
So far during this review period, we have asked for guidance after noticing that we were caught in the ego perspective. Today, let’s put spiritual intuition up front.
Instead of waiting to get caught in the ego perspective before asking for guidance, let’s ask for guidance all through the day. In other words, instead of getting caught and then asking for help, let’s allow guidance to lead us through the day so that we don’t get caught in ego snares. Let’s stay in the heart today, with spiritual intuition in the lead.
