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

Beloved, the Workbook's first review continues.

The review is not a quiz. The lessons being revisited — the lessons that extended the claim about holiness outward — enveloping, blessing, accomplishing, saving, the Son of God — are being offered back to the mind that has been carrying them for days.

The mind has done something with these lessons whether or not it has noticed. The review is the chance for the mind to sit with what it has done. To notice, gently, that what once sounded strange has become, in some small measure, present.

Read the review in the Workbook. The Course offers a brief paragraph on each. Read them slowly. Allow what arises to arise.

For today. Read the review. Spend a little time, several times during the day, with one of the ideas. There is no requirement to revisit all with equal attention. Let the one that is calling, today, be the one you sit with.

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