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

Two days remain in Part I. Beloved, here we are.

The Workbook offers today's applied idea. Read it slowly.

We have been carrying the affirmation for nineteen days now. The sentence has done what it has done. The body has continued to be the body. The mind has continued to be the mind. And underneath, the recognition that we are not the body, that we are free, that we are as God created us — this has been gently dawning, day after day, in the willingness of the practice.

The dawning is not complete. It will not be complete by tomorrow when this stretch closes. It will not be complete when the Workbook itself closes at Lesson 365. The Course says, in many places, that this kind of recognition completes itself in its own time, beyond what the practitioner can produce. Our part is the willingness. Grace's part is the rest.

For today. Read today's lesson in the Workbook. Repeat the affirmation. The dawning continues.

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

Walking the Workbook, Volume Two is the ACIM.live companion for Lessons 121 through 240 — the middle third of the year, including the central forgiveness lessons and the closing of Part I. Read more about the book →
