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 close to the end of Part I. Five days remain in this stretch.

Today's applied idea is in the Workbook. Read it.

The Workbook is, in these final days of Part I, doing something quiet. It is consolidating. The year has been laying down recognitions one at a time. Now the recognitions are being held together, in the practitioner's daily life, as a single way of being. The affirmation is the central note. The daily applied ideas are the harmony around it.

When this stretch of twenty days closes, the mind will be ready for the very different format of Part II. The Workbook will become more devotional, more prayerful, less instructive. The practitioner who has gone through these closing days of Part I will be prepared for that shift. The mind has been gently retuned.

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

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