Commentary on ACIM Lesson 328

© 2010 Rev. David Seacord

I Love this Lesson! (Especially the line "all things we perceive are upside down until we listen"....) I love learning this lesson again and again and again, because it just feels so TRUE after 'being upside down a while', to get 'set upright'. When well learnt, selfless service is automatically the way we walk, happy to be free of the illusion that anything else could offer true happiness.

That's my commentary for today, which began at 4 am yesterday morning and involved driving 450 miles plus numerous appointments, activities, and yes, flat out miracles. But I'll write of those another time. Just got home, it's quite late, I'm feeling pretty brain incoherent. I beg off writing a 'longer commentary' that I may get a good nights sleep. Big day tomorrow too...

Namaste,

David

Lesson 328

I choose the second place to gain the first.

What seems to be the second place is first, for all things we perceive are upside down until we listen to the Voice for God. It seems that we will gain autonomy but by our striving to be separate, and that our independence from the rest of God's creation is the way in which salvation is obtained. Yet all we find is sickness, suffering and loss and death. This is not what our Father wills for us, nor is there any second to His Will. To join with His is but to find our own. And since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize our will.

There is no will but Yours. And I am glad that nothing I imagine contradicts what You would have me be. It is Your Will that I be wholly safe, eternally at peace. And happily I share that Will which You, my Father, gave as part of me.
