ACIM Workbook lesson 282

I will not be afraid of love today.”

Today’s lesson title looks like a nonsensical statement. How can a flower be afraid of the sun, or a dog be afraid of a bone? Yet, by engaging in the ego mind’s destructive loops, you have erected an imaginary obstacle between you and your sustenance and have become afraid of it because of that obstacle.

Now you sense that something is amiss, but you are not sure what it is. Next thing you know, this mental content has projected into an image in the world that testifies to something being amiss, scaring you. You now think that the problem is “out there”, coming at you, and that it needs fixing “out there”.

However, the problem is never “out there”. It is a matter of training the mind to re-focus. Discard restricting and negative thought patterns by looking at them with the help of the Holy Spirit and then deciding against them. You ask Love for help and focus on the wellspring of Love and Light that is always accessible within and is waiting for you to align with it.
