NTI Ephesians teaches how the world of experience is made. It calls this process “the law of Love.” Through the law of love, thoughts are received into the mind. We don’t think the thoughts into our minds; we receive them, which is why the Workbook refers to them as “the thoughts you think you think.” Once a thought is received, we judge it as valid or invalid. If we decide a thought is valid, that thought is delivered into manifestation.
It is just as ACIM says:
“There are no idle thoughts. All thinking produces form at some level.”
(T-2.VI.9)
Since we believe a thought and then have an experience in the world that supports that thought, we think our thinking is right. What we don’t realize is the experience was created through believing the thought. It is the law of Love, which is the process of cause (believing a thought) and effect (experience).
Today’s lesson also speaks of light episodes that “symbolize true perception.” I experienced a light episode when my awareness shifted into an apple. During that episode, my awareness resided as the apple. I wasn’t Regina. I was the apple, and as the apple I saw an entirely different world. I experienced a world of light—living aware light, which is also love.

Homework for this week
-
- Homework Assignment A: ACIM Workbook Lessons 15-21a. Note: Lesson 20 asks us to repeat the lesson to ourselves twice per hour, preferably on the half-hour. One can set an alarm to remind one’s self, but it is generally better if one remembers because of the desire to remember. Recommend ending each 30-minute practice with a heartfelt intention to remember again in 30 minutes. Whenever you notice that you forgot, remind yourself how important this is to you and begin again in that moment.
- Homework Assignment B: Read NTI Ephesians (p. 339-347).
