These next 20 lessons will be making a special point of making our willingness stronger and our scatteredness more focused. Our Practice time encourages the sense of peace we have sought since day One...even if the havoc (ego) we have known wants to intervene at every chance. What times our inner peace have prevailed is all so valuable to us, creating this desire for more. More peace within.
These lessons will widen our horizons. Those blocks that narrow our minds will diminish and be lifted...if even just fleetingly at first. Words will set this stage for us, but experiencing this brings freedom and peace.
Our learning will get more intensified as words become unnecessary. We will be more surer of what we value and what is becoming valueless. These lessons continue this journey Beyond what inhibits our progress.
Denying the defensiveness to opening up to what remains beyond what is ours to experience...will be less subtler. These next lessons will attempt to go beyond all defenses a little while each day. This will assure us of wanting and seeking the assurance the rest will be for us.

ACIM #181 “I trust my brothers who are one with me.”
If only on a daily basis, or hourly, or by the minute…
I could even briefly remove my focus off my brother’s mistakes…
I could experience the peace that would come from my sinlessness.
I have to see my brothers sinlessness to transcend
The doubt and lack in all the doubt and lack that I see in me.
When I attack, I do not look beyond my errors.
In fact, my errors are magnified,
Becoming blocks to my awareness of my HigherSelf
That is waiting for me to own me again.
If only for a little while today
Without regard to my past or my future
If such blocks of attack upon my brothers come up…
I must instruct myself to chant:
“It is not this that I would look upon.
I trust my brothers, who are one with me.”
I must use this thought to keep me safe throughout the day.
And as I see the love my brothers were born to be…
All obstacles will cease that seem to block this love
That is me…
Yes, this love that I was born to be…
Wholly loving and wholly lovable.
*** love…rell
