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.
It can be but myself I crucify.
All that I do I do unto myself. If I attack, I suffer. But if I forgive, salvation will be given me.
Attack is mere justification for self will. It is the desire that things go your way or that heads roll. You want your way and if you don’t get it, someone must pay. That is attack at its essence. It is the continued argument with reality. It is the continued refusal to allow things to be just as they are.
This is the source of our “attack”–these thoughts that my will must be served. We must question “whose will?” It is the one whose will is thwarted whose ire is raised. Would you serve that “one?” In serving that will it is your Self you attack.
Service of that will only ever brings suffering and discontent. We will learn this lesson until we are no longer willing to abide in suffering. All attack results in our own suffering. You simply will not find an instance where this is not true.
Today, look at this truth with open eyes and make the clear choice to let go of the attack habit.
