ACIM Text Reading and Lesson 1

"Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God."

A Course in Miracles

TEXT

Foreword by Course in Miracles Society

This course is a beginning, not an end. Your Friend goes with you. You are not alone. No one who calls on Him can call in vain. Whatever troubles you, be certain that He has the answer and will gladly give it to you if you simply turn to Him and ask it of Him. He will not withhold all answers that you need for anything that seems to trouble you. He knows the way to solve all problems and resolve all doubts. His certainty is yours. You need but ask it of Him, and it will be given you.

You are as certain of arriving home as is the pathway of the sun laid down before it rises, after it has set, and in the half-lit hours in between. Indeed, your pathway is more certain still, for it cannot be possible to change the course of those whom God has called to Him. Therefore obey your will, and follow Him Whom you accepted as your Voice, to speak of what you really want and really need. His is the Voice for God, and also yours. And thus He speaks of freedom and of truth. [1]

With these words, A Course in Miracles concludes its prescribed curriculum of 365 daily lessons, and it is with these words, too, that we begin our study.

ACIM Edmonton ~ Sarah's Reflections

Lesson 1

Nothing I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this plac e] means anything.

Sarah's Commentary:

So here we are on Lesson 1 again for those of you who are starting the year with the lessons for the first time or again starting over for the umpteenth time!! This lesson may seem simple and even silly and I have heard people say that they don't see the importance of these early lessons and want to get to the ones that seem more powerful and more meaningful. Yet if we really look at this one lesson we can see that it is essential to see that we give meaning to everything. If we were to withdraw our own meaning, it would be an indication that we are willing to be taught. It also means that we would need to acknowledge that we don't know and that we have been wrong in the way we see things.
