My grievances hide the light of the world in me. Love does not hold grievances (W-pI.68.7:2), but ego does. Grievances – nurtured, cherished, clutched – are how ego sustains the darkness in which its unreality cannot be examined, found wanting, and let go.

Let me not forget my function. Lesson 64 of A Course in Miracles owns a powerful simplicity. It is another way of articulating a familiar line from the Lord’s Prayer: “let me not wander into temptation” (W-pI.64.1:1). It’s a way of affirming that if we focus our attention exclusively on the Kingdom of Heaven, thenContinue reading “A Course in Miracles Lesson 64”
