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

Part I of the Workbook closes today. Beloved, we have arrived at this place together.

Read today's applied idea in the Workbook — the final one for this stretch of twenty days.

We have done two hundred and twenty days of practice. The first one hundred and twenty laid down the foundation. The middle one hundred deepened it. These last twenty have been consolidation — the same affirmation, held across days, becoming the shape of how we move.

Tomorrow Part II begins. The format will change. Each cluster of ten lessons will be preceded by a brief What Is...? meditation in the Workbook — a more contemplative entry into central Course terms. The daily lessons will become short prayers. The practice will become more devotional than instructional. The mind that has been formed by these 220 days is ready for this shift.

Beloved, the work is not finished. It is also not unfinished in the way the mind once thought. We are simply here, doing the practice, day by day, with the willingness we have. That has been enough. That will continue to be enough.

For today. Read today's lesson in the Workbook. Repeat the affirmation a final time in this stretch. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. Sit longer than usual. The closing of Part I is the gentle resting place we have been moving toward.

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