About This Review

This is a review lesson in the ACIM Workbook. Review lessons revisit earlier ideas, allowing them to deepen and integrate into your awareness. Each review period is an opportunity to see these ideas with fresh eyes and a more receptive mind.

Practice Guidance

The review lessons are designed to consolidate the ideas you've been practicing. Spend time with each idea being reviewed, letting it settle more deeply than before. You may notice that ideas which seemed abstract or difficult when you first encountered them now carry a different quality.

Don't rush through the review. Each idea deserves your full, unhurried attention. You might find that your understanding has shifted in subtle ways since you first practiced these lessons.

Contemplation

As you review, notice which ideas resonate more strongly now than they did initially. This natural deepening is part of the workbook's design — each review builds on the foundation of daily practice.

From Walking the Workbook

The same recognition continues. Beloved, we are here.

The Workbook gives a fresh applied idea today, paired with the same opening affirmation. Read what the Workbook offers in your own copy. The applied idea is the day's specific invitation — into stillness, into willingness, into the practice as it is being offered this morning.

The mind that wants something new each day will sometimes feel that the Workbook has stopped offering enough. The mind that has surrendered to the practice recognizes what is being done. The same affirmation, said for twenty days, becomes less a sentence and more the texture of being. We are not learning new content. We are becoming available to what has been the case the whole time.

The body has its day ahead. There will be tasks. There will be conversations. There will be the small irritations that have been the day's shape. None of this is the practice's enemy. All of it is where the practice happens. We carry the affirmation into the body's day, and the day is held by it.

For today. Read today's lesson in the Workbook. Repeat the affirmation. Notice how, by the second day, the sentence has begun to settle differently.

A musical companion to today's lesson is available below.
