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, we are home in this practice now.

The Workbook offers today's applied idea. Receive what is given. The Course is, in these closing days of Part I, gently bringing the year's deepest recognitions into a single sustained gesture.

There is a question some readers ask in this passage: am I doing this right? The Course's quiet answer is that the asking itself is the doing. The mind that wonders whether it is practicing correctly is the mind that is practicing. The wondering is part of it. We do not need to be elsewhere than where we are.

Today, the practice does not require any new effort from you. The morning's reading. The repeated affirmation. The slow carrying of the recognition through the day. The willingness, offered again. That is the practice. It is complete in this small daily form. It has always been complete.

For today. Read today's lesson in the Workbook. Repeat the affirmation. Trust the practice.

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 →
