Lesson 138
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 138- Heaven is the decision I must make.
Keys to this Lesson
In this world Heaven is a choice because in this world we believe that there are alternatives to choose from.
Creation has no opposite.
Truth has no opposite.
Choice is the escape from what appears to be opposites.
It may seem like we have thousands of choices to make but there is only one. And that even SEEMS to be a choice.
When you make the ONE choice, you will see that there is nothing else.
Exercise
5 minutes in the morning.
Make the decision for Heaven.
5 minutes before you go to bed.
Reaffirming the choice for Heaven.
Each hour, declare your choice again and take a brief quiet time.
Close the day with this:
Heaven is the decision I must make. I make it now, and will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want.

Lesson 137
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 137- When I am healed I am not healed alone.
Keys to this Lesson
Today’s idea is on what salvation rests.
Sickness is a separation from others. It is isolation.
Healing is the decision to be one again.
It is accepting all parts as whole again.
Healing is accomplished by seeing that the body has no power to attack the Oneness of God’s Son.
Healing is a counter-dream, as it cancels out sickness.
Just as forgiveness is an illusion that ends all illusions.
Exercise
10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening.
Start with these thoughts:
When I am healed I am not healed alone. And I would share my healing with the world, that sickness may be banished from the mind of God's one Son, Who is my only Self.
Let healing be with you.
Rest in quiet, be prepared to give as you receive.
Once an hour remember this thought:
When I am healed I am not healed alone. And I would bless my brothers, for I would be healed with them, as they are healed with me.

Lesson 136
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 136- Sickness is a defense against the truth.
Keys to this Lesson
No one can heal unless they understand what purpose sickness seems to serve.
The purpose of sickness has no meaning.
Sickness is self-deception.
As a defense and like other defenses, it is something that we put in place when we are afraid of the truth.
Have willingness to remember the truth.
Defenses make the facts unrecognizable.
Sickness is a decision. It is not something that happens to us.
It is a choice that we make.
If we are sick then truth goes away.
If we are sick then the body seems real to us.
Truth has power beyond defense as illusions cannot remain where truth has been allowed to enter.
Truth can be found is we choose to practice welcoming it.
Exercise
15 minutes, twice today to ask for the truth to come to us.
Truth awaits our invitation.
We start with a healing prayer:
Sickness is a defense against the truth. I will accept the truth of what I am, and let my mind be wholly healed today.
Healing will come to our open mind as the light of truth is shown throughout the entire mind.
The mind will be healed of all the sickly thoughts that it tries to make the body obey.
The body is healed because the source of sickness is opened to relief.
You will recognize that you have practiced this correctly when you see that the body does not feel at all.
If you are successful, Jesus says that there will be no sense of feeling ill or feeling well, of pain or pleasure.
No response at all.
This removes the limits you have placed on the body by the purposes that you gave to it.
Jesus then states, The body's health is fully guaranteed, because it is not limited by time, by weather or fatigue, by food and drink, or any laws you made it serve before. You need do nothing now to make it well, for sickness has become impossible.
Yet this protection needs to be preserved by careful watching. If you let your mind harbor attack thoughts, yield to judgment or make plans against uncertainties to come, you have again misplaced yourself, and made a bodily identity which will attack the body, for the mind is sick.
If you allow defensiveness creep in at any time throughout the day, tell yourself:
I have forgotten what I really am, for I mistook my body for myself. Sickness is a defense against the truth. But I am not a body. And my mind cannot attack. So I can not be sick.

Lesson 135
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 135- If I defend myself I am attacked.
Keys to this Lesson
We defend ourselves because we believe that the attack is real.
We feel threatened really by an illusion.
It is illusion upon illusion that we defend against.
Defense is frightening. It stems from fear as each defense is made.
What do we defend?
Something that we believe is weak and easily assaulted.
It is the body that we believe needs to be defended from attack.
But the body is not the Son of God.
If you defend the body then you have attacked the mind.
You do not see the mind as separate from bodily conditions.
A healed mind does not plan but carries out plans given to it from listening to wisdom from the Holy Spirit.
We think we are enslaved to the body for that is what the unhealed mind believes.
Defenses are the plans that we undertake to make against the truth.
What is the truth?
We, our Self, are not bodies. We are spirit.
God would never offer pain to us.
Our defenses do not let us see God’s love and His blessings.
Put trust in God and without defenses we become a light which Heaven acknowledges as its own.
We will be led as we practice today.
Exercise
15 minutes twice today.
Rest from planning and every thought that blocks the truth.
Today we receive instead of plan.
Say to yourself:
If I defend myself I am attacked. But in defenselessness I will be strong, and I will learn what my defenses hide.
If there are plans to make you will be told of them.
You will receive answers but not to the questions you think need answered.
In your practice today you will wonder why you defended so much for so little.
Today is your Eastertime.
You will gain so much today from your practicing.
Throughout the day, as foolish little things come to you to raise defensiveness in you and tempt you, remind yourself that today is a special day for learning, and acknowledge this by saying:
This is my Eastertime. And I would keep it holy. I will not defend myself, because the Son of God needs no defense against the truth of his reality.

Lesson 134
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 134- Let me perceive forgiveness as it is.
Keys to this Lesson
We are reviewing the meaning of FORGIVE.
Forgiveness has been distorted to us before.
To pardon is meaningless.
To pardon is agree with what is false.
Jesus says that our major difficulty is that we believe that we must forgive the truth and not illusions.
We want to make the illusion true.
Because we think sins are real we believe pardon is a deception.
This makes forgiveness a deception too.
Jesus tells us:
Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the illusions of the world. It sees their nothingness, and looks straight through the thousand forms in which they may appear. It looks on lies, but it is not deceived. It does not heed the self-accusing shrieks of sinners mad with guilt. It looks on them with quiet eyes, and merely says to them, "My brother, what you think is not the truth."
Forgiveness must be practiced for the world cannot perceive its meaning nor provide an appropriate guide.
Exercise
15 minutes, twice today spent with Holy Spirit.
Ask of the Holy Spirit:
Let me perceive forgiveness as it is.
Choose one person and catalogue what you believe to be his “sins”. Don’t dwell on any one of them, but realize that you are using these to save the world from all ideas of sin.
Briefly consider each one and then ask yourself, “Would I condemn myself for doing this?”
Let him be freed from the thoughts that you believed about him.
Prepare yourself for freedom.
If you are practicing correctly, you will feel a sense of lifting up, a weight being lifted from your chest and a deep feeling of relief.
In the rest of the practice period experience the escape from the heavy chains that have held your brother and yourself.
Practice forgiveness throughout the day.
Allow your mind to see through the illusion and tell yourself:
Let me perceive forgiveness as it is. Would I accuse myself of doing this? I will not lay this chain upon myself.
In everything remember this:
No one is crucified alone, and yet no one can enter Heaven by himself.

Lesson 133
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 133- I will not value what is valueless.
Keys to this Lesson
Jesus sets out some parameters in knowing what is valuable and what is valueless.
As he says:
First, if you choose a thing that will not last forever, what you chose is valueless. A temporary value is without all value. Time can never take away a value that is real. What fades and dies was never there.
Why is a choice a value to it? What purpose does it have?
The ego deceives us.
If there is guilt, then you have chosen the ego’s goals.
Heaven is reached with empty hands and open minds.
Have nothing to claim everything.
This is what we will practice today.
Exercise
2 Practice Periods, 15 minutes each.
Begin with:
I will not value what is valueless, and only what has value do I seek, for only that do I desire to find.
Throughout the day, if you believe you have burdens or difficult decisions to make, answer with this thought:
I will not value what is valueless, for what is valuable belongs to me.

Lesson 132
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 132- I loose the world from all I thought it was.
Keys to this Lesson
Your beliefs keep the world in chains.
You can save the world through your Self.
The past and the future you can be free from.
You shift your source of thought.
The present now remains the only time.
In the present the world is set free.
Change your mind on what you want to see and the world changes accordingly.
The central thought this course attempts to teach is that there is no world!
Today’s idea is true because the world does not exist.
You imagined it.
Jesus stresses again today that you are as God created you.
There is no place where you can suffer and no time that can change your eternal state.
If you are as God created you then you cannot think apart from Him, nor make what does not share His timelessness and Love.
Through your practice today you will release the world.
Exercise
15 minute practice periods, twice today.
Begin with:
I who remain as God created me would loose the world from all I thought it was. For I am real because the world is not, and I would know my own reality.
Then ret, alert but with no strain.
Let your mind in quietness be changed.
Throughout the day, say the following when you feel tempted to deny the power of your simple change of mind:
I loose the world from all I thought it was, and choose my own reality instead.

Lesson 131
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 131- No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth.
Keys to this Lesson
Failure occurs when you seek for goals you cannot achieve.
You look for truth where it is not.
Today you will search for Heaven and find it.
You will realize that this is the only goal that you want.
Why wait for Heaven when it is here today?
Do not deny yourself any longer what awaits you.
Leave all the foolish thoughts behind you.
Turn your mind to true ideas instead.
No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth, and it is truth we seek to reach today.
We ask to see the real world in place of the foolish images that we hold.
Exercise
10 minutes 3 times today.
Begin with:
I ask to see a different world, and think a different kind of thought from those I made. The world I seek I did not make alone, the thoughts I want to think are not my own.
Watch your mind for several minutes with your eyes closed.
Review your thoughts of the world you think you see.
Then let them go.
Sink below them to the holy place.
There is a door beneath those thoughts in your mind.
Seek the door and find it.
Before you try to open it, remind yourself that no one can fail who seeks to reach the truth.
Open it and know you cannot fail today.
Holy Spirit walks with you.
Be glad today.
Remember throughout the day and if you forget remind yourself:
Today I seek and find all that I want.
My single purpose offers it to me.
No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth.

Lesson 130
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 130-It is impossible to see two worlds.
Keys to this Lesson
What we think is what we see.
That is the perception.
Then we have to look at the idea that our thinking reflecting WHAT we WANT to see.
We cannot hate and love at the same time.
Fear has made everything that we think we see.
All the separation and all the differences that we see among us.
The ego, Love’s enemy, made all of it up.
If you seek for one world then the other disappears.
The world that you see is consistent from the point of view from which you see it.
Exercise
6 times today, give 5 minutes to the thought:
It is impossible to see two worlds.
This thoughts ends all compromise and doubt and goes beyond it all.
Begin your searching for the other world for asking for a strength beyond your own, and recognizing what you seek.
You don’t want illusions.
Come to these 5 minutes emptying all of the pettiness of the world.
Waiting for God to help you, say:
It is impossible to see two worlds. Let me accept the strength God offers me and see no value in this world, that I may find my freedom and deliverance.
Trust that God will be there. You called upon unfailing power.
Have gratitude.
You will see His thanks just by your practicing.
Dismiss temptation when it arises today, remembering the limits of your choice.
The unreal or real, the false or the true is what you see and only what you see.
Say to any part of hell that comes to you in whatever form:
It is impossible to see two worlds. I seek my freedom and deliverance, and this is not a part of what I want.

Lesson 129
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 129-Beyond this world there is a world I want.
Keys to this Lesson
We are continuing the thought from yesterday.
You cannot stop with the idea that the world is worthless or you will be depressed.
This is not about giving up the world but exchanging it for what is more satisfying, one that it joyful and one that gives you peace.
The world you see here is merciless and unstable, at times cruel and doesn’t care about you.
No love is found here.
Find the world where love endures forever, hate cannot exist and vengeance has no meaning.
You do not lose by finding all the things that you really do want.
God speaks to you, speak to Him.
The language contains no words for in our exchange with Him it simply cannot be symbolized.
The knowledge is direct.
Look forward and do not look back at the world you do not want.
This is your choice today.
Do not value nothingness.
Exercise
10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening.
Be willing as you practice.
Begin with:
Beyond this world there is a world I want. I choose to see that world instead of this, for here is nothing that I really want.
Close your eyes.
In the silent darkness watch the lights that are not of this world light one by one until they blend as one.
Lights of Heaven shine upon you as you rest beyond this world of darkness.
Today is a day of grace.
Give thanks.
Remember your decision hourly as you say:
The world I see holds nothing that I want.
Beyond this world there is a world I want.

Lesson 128
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 128- The world I see holds nothing that I want.
Keys to this Lesson
The world you see around you has nothing for you at all.
You can save yourself time and misery by learning that this is so.
Everything that you value here in the world is a chain that binds you.
Escape the chains on your mind when you realize that salvation does not lie here in the world.
Realize that there is nothing here to cherish.
Don’t let this world hold you back from the Truth.
When you take time to pause and be still you will rise above this world.
Let your mind rest in God and be restored to sanity, to freedom and to love.
Exercise
10 minutes 3 times today.
Be still and rest.
Open your mind to the Holy Spirit.
Let your mind shift from the world you see to the world of God.
Throughout the day, when you value something or someone of the world, refuse to chain yourself to it and tell yourself with quiet certainty:
This will not tempt me to delay myself.
The world I see holds nothing that I want.

Lesson 126
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 126- All that I give is given to myself.
Keys to this Lesson
If you believe today’s idea you will reverse your thinking and you would have no problem with complete forgiveness.
Right now, you still seem to think that other people are separate from you that you do not affect them but they affect you.
You are confused about forgiveness. You either believe that it is charity to one unworthy, or that you are better off than they, and still you either withhold or withdrawn at your discretion.
You do not understand that giving and receiving are the same.
Exercise
15 minutes twice today
Put the thought of forgiveness in its proper place.
Close your eyes in silence.
The world does not understand forgiveness.
Seek sanctuary in the quiet place in your mind where thoughts are changed and false beliefs laid by.
Repeat today’s idea:
All that I give is given to myself.
Ask for help in understanding what it means.
Be willing to be taught.
Be glad to hear Holy Spirit’s Voice that will speak the truth to you.
As often as you can today remind yourself that you have one goal and do not forget:
All that I give is given to myself. The Help I need to learn that this is true is with me now. And I will trust in Him.

Lesson 122
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 122- Forgiveness offers everything I want.
Keys to this Lesson
If you want peace, happiness, a quiet mind, certainty of purpose, safety, care, quietness undisturbed, gentleness that never can be hurt, comfort and perfect rest, then FORGIVENESS is what you seek and what you truly want.
Forgiveness radically changes our lives. It soothes us, we feel different inside, we appear different to others when we forgive and know the truth of Who we are.
Forgiveness is the only answer that we need. It answers every question.
Undertake your practicing with hope and faith today..
Exercise
In the morning and evening, practice for 15 minutes.
Sink into happiness as you being.
Remember that forgiveness offers everything you want.
Keep walking toward the light to receive the gifts that forgiveness brings.
Don’t be tempted to forget about these gifts that forgiveness brings. Think of your forgiveness gifts every 15 minutes.
Remind yourself how precious are these gifts by saying as such:
Forgiveness offers everything I want.
Today I have accepted this as true.
Today I have received the gifts of God.

Lesson 121
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 121-Forgiveness is the key to happiness.
Keys to this Lesson
Want peace? Try forgiveness.
This is THE key and only KEY. FORGIVENESS.
We all know the unforgiving mind, the fear, the sadness, the darkness. Afraid of so many things. We know this mind all too well.
Forgiveness will be taught to us by our Teacher, the Holy Spirit.
There is hope.
We are given many opportunities by our brothers to forgive ourselves.
Today that is what we will do. We will learn to forgive.
We will try practicing forgiveness toward a person you think of as an enemy and to someone you think of as a friend. As you see them both in forgiveness’ light, you will forgive yourself as well.
Exercise
As Jesus directs:
Begin the longer practice periods by thinking of someone you do not like, who seems to irritate you, or to cause regret in you if you should meet him; one you actively despise, or merely try to overlook. It does not matter what the form your anger takes. You probably have chosen him already. He will do.
Now close your eyes and see him in your mind, and look at him a while. Try to perceive some light in him somewhere; a little gleam which you had never noticed. Try to find some little spark of brightness shining through the ugly picture that you hold of him. Look at this picture till you see a light somewhere within it, and then try to let this light extend until it covers him, and makes the picture beautiful and good.
Look at this changed perception for a while, and turn your mind to one you call a friend. Try to transfer the light you learned to see around your former "enemy" to him. Perceive him now as more than friend to you, for in that light his holiness shows you your savior, saved and saving, healed and whole.
Then let him offer you the light you see in him, and let your "enemy" and friend unite in blessing you with what you gave. Now are you one with them, and they with you. Now have you been forgiven by yourself. Do not forget, throughout the day, the role forgiveness plays in bringing happiness to every unforgiving mind, with yours among them. Every hour tell yourself:
Forgiveness is the key to happiness. I will awaken from the dream that I am mortal, fallible and full of sin, and know I am the perfect Son of God.
See also Rev. Deb’s talk on YouTube called "Forgive-about-it". At the end, this lesson is used as a meditation which you can use too to practice this lesson.

Lesson 110
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 110-I am as God created me.
Keys to this Lesson
This lesson is repeated a few times in the Workbook.
This is the one thought that will save you and the world.
IF you believe it to be true.
As Jesus says:
If you remain as God created you fear has no meaning, evil is not real, and misery and death do not exist…..additionally he says
...appearances cannot replace the truth, health cannot turn to sickness, nor can death be substitute for life, or fear for love.
So if we do not want fear to guide our lives, then we believe wholeheartedly in today’s lesson.
Today’s lesson will heal the past and free you from the future.
Exercise
5 minutes an hour.
Begin with:
I am as God created me. His Son can suffer nothing.
And I am His Son.
With this statement in mind, try to discover in your mind the Self Who is the holy Son of God Himself.
Today honor your Self that God crated.
Let go of everything else that has been made or what you have believed about yourself.
As Jesus says:
Today we make a great advance to truth by letting idols go, and opening our hands and hearts and minds to God today.
Remember throughout the day and say as often as you can:
I am as God created me.
The key to Heaven is in this statement.

Lesson 108
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 108-To give and to receive are one in truth.
Keys to this Lesson
True Vision depends on the practice of today’s lesson.
Light is born of peace and all your conflicts and mistaken thoughts will disappear today.
True light is the state of mind that darkness can no longer be perceived.
The light has the power to heal.
The light brings your peace to other minds and share it gladly.
Giving and receiving are the same even though we may seem them as different aspects.
In truth they are the same.
As we extend we grow in peace and in love more and more.
Exercise
Practice with the idea of giving and receiving.
To give is to receive.
Attempt to offer peace to everyone, and see how peace returns to you.
Begin with:
To give and to receive are one in truth.
I will receive what I am giving now.
Then close your eyes, and for five minutes think of what you would hold out to everyone and to have it as yours.
Examples of what you could say:
To everyone I offer quietness.
To everyone I offer peace of mind.
To everyone I offer gentleness.
Say each one slowly and then pause in expectation of the gift’s return.
You will find an exact return.
Think of these exercises today as quick advances to your learning.
Made faster each time you say:
To give and to receive are one in truth.

Lesson 106
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 106-Let me be still and listen to the truth.
Keys to this Lesson
In the first paragraph Jesus shares with beauty what this lesson is all about:
If you will lay aside the ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to call; if you will not accept its petty gifts that give you nothing that you really want; if you will listen with an open mind, that has not told you what salvation is; then you will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power, strong in stillness, and completely certain in Its messages.
Today it is simple.
Be still and listen.
Jesus says this many times in this lesson and it is our hint to do as he has asked us.
Go past all of the distractions in your mind and be still and listen to what the Holy Spirit has to say to you today.
Exercise
5 minutes an hour
Begin with:
I will be still and listen to the truth.
What does it mean to give and to receive?
Ask and expect an answer.
Your answer may come with a sense of peace or feeling of love.
With each 5 minutes we spend today, Jesus tells us that a thousand minds are opened to the truth.
Do not forget today to reinforce your choice to hear Holy Spirit, say this as often as possible today:
Let me be still and listen to the truth.
I am the messenger of God today, My voice is His, to give what I receive.

Lesson 105
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 105-God's peace and joy are mine.
Keys to this Lesson
God’s peace and joy are yours and today you will accept and know that they belong to you.
These are not like gifts you know of here in the world where the giver loses and the taker is richer.
These are not the gifts of God.
Jesus tells us that a major learning goal of this course is to reverse our viewing on giving so we can receive.
We will come to know that they are one and the same.
These gifts grow as you give them, to others and yourself.
Today we are to accept and receive His peace and joy.
Thank Him for these gifts today.
Exercise
Begin by thinking of those brothers who have been denied by you the peace and joy that are their right under the equal laws of God.
Think of your enemies a while and tell each one as he occurs to you:
My brother, peace and joy I offer you, That I may have God's peace and joy as mine.
You are preparing yourself to recognize God’s gifts to you.
You are ready to accept the gift of peace and joy that God has given you.
You are ready to experience the joy and peace you have denied yourself.
You will succeed if you prepare your mind as directed by Jesus today.
Let all the obstacles that stand in the way of peace and joy be put aside.
Tell yourself:
God’s peace and joy are mine.
Close your eyes for awhile and let His Voice assure you that the words you speak are true.
Spend 5 minutes an hour with Holy Spirit today.
If you forget, do not think that you are worthless.
Just remember when you can.
Remember to say hourly:
God’s peace and joy are mine.
Be determined not to interfere with God’s Will.
If you are tempted to deny a gift to your brother:
Bless and say:
My brother, peace and joy I offer you, That I may have God's peace and joy as mine.

Lesson 104
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 104-I seek but what belongs to me in truth.
Keys to this Lesson
We are continuing the thought of joy and peace are our right because of what we are.
They are from God and God doesn’t fail.
Today we take away everything that we made from the altar and put God’s gifts there.
His gifts are within us, they have always been and will continue to be.
Exercise

Lay aside all the illusions of the world, everything here in the world that you thought would bring you happiness and peace of mind.
We seek the truth today.
So clear a holy place in your mind as you practice today.
Let His gifts of peace and joy be welcome.
Do your practice in confidence today.
Be aware that truth belongs to you.
Clear the way for God by recognizing His Will is already done.
Joy and peace are the gifts He gave to you.

God's gifts of joy and peace are all I want.

Lesson 103
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 103-God, being Love, is also happiness.
Keys to this Lesson
Happiness is an attribute of love.
It is not separate from it.
You can only experience happiness when love is there and love is everywhere.
As is joy.
When you believe that there are gaps of love then pain enters.
Fear creeps in these gaps and then the images we see are made.
Remember the truth today.
God, being Love, is also happiness.
Exercise
Begin with:
God, being Love, is also happiness.
To fear Him is to be afraid of joy.
This corrects what you have believed in the past that God is fear.
This also tells you that happiness is yours and you are entitled to it because of Who God is.
Be with this thought in each hour throughout the day.
Welcome happiness into your mind.
Let truth replace fear, and let joy take the place of pain.
God Who is Love gives you all of this.
Throughout the day remind yourself:
God, being Love, is also happiness.
And it is happiness I seek today.
I cannot fail, because I seek the truth.

Lesson 102
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps

Keys to this Lesson
You do not want to suffer.
You want happiness.
You may think that suffering brings you something, but it doesn’t.
With today’s practice we are letting go of this idea.

This is where you are at Home.
There is peace and safety and no fear.
Exercise

I share God's Will for happiness for me, and I accept it as my function now.
Take time to go deeply in your mind to seek this function.
It only awaits your choice, your decision.
You so share God’s Will.
Be happy, for your only function here is happiness.

Lesson 101
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 101-God's Will for me is perfect happiness.
Keys to this Lesson
Today we continue with HAPPINESS!
This is a key idea that Jesus tells us, as it will help us to understand what salvation means.
We do not have to suffer for our mistakes or so-called “sins”.
If sin is real then happiness is an illusion for they both cannot be true.
Sinful only warrant death and pain and punishment.
But that is not WHO you are.
God’s Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no sin.
Joy is just and pain is the sign that you have misunderstood Who you are.
So today we are going to remember Who we are and this is why we need the practice periods today.
We need to know that sin is not real and that we need to accept the Atonement with an open mind.
Exercise
5 minutes an hour.
Say:
God's Will for me is perfect happiness.
There is no sin; it has no consequence.
Attempt to find the joy that these thoughts introduce to your mind.
Give this time gladly to remove the heavy load that you have laid upon yourself in the belief that sin is real.
Today you escape from madness.
You are on freedom’s road.
Remember as often as you can today:
God's Will for me is perfect happiness.
This is the truth, because there is no sin.

Lesson 100
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps

The Son completes the Father and so our part as the Son completes our Father’s plan.
Salvation reverses the believe in separation.
God’s Will for us is perfect happiness.
Why would we choose differently?
This is why we need His plan for salvation.
Our joy will be complete when His plan is understood.
We are essential to God’s plan. Without us, His joy is incomplete.

Think about this and what it means.
Then try to find the joy that proves to you and all the world what God’s Will is for us.
It is your function to find it here.
Look deep within past all the little thoughts of fear and foolish goals.
Meet the Christ in you.
He is there.
You can reach Him.
You are essential to the plan.
You are His messenger today.
Do not forget the hourly practices.
It is your very Self that calls to you today.

Lesson 99
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 99-Salvation is my only function here.
Keys to this Lesson
Salvation and forgiveness are the same.
They correct what is different from the Will of God.
Salvation is the borderland between truth and illusion.
It reflects the truth because it (salvation and forgiveness) is the means by which you can escape illusions.
Our mind sees illusions, based upon our thoughts, and we think them to be very real, a kind of virtual reality, ala the movie, The Matrix.
The Holy Spirit holds the plan for salvation.
It is there in our mind and operates in time because we still believe strongly in the aspect of time.
Holy Spirit looks upon what we see, on sin, pain, death, grief, separation and loss.
What He sees only is that God is Love and this is not His Will.
The Thought brings illusions to the truth and sees behind the appearances.
This Thought of God saves, forgives for it knows the Truth.
Holy Spirit answers all appearances and illusions regardless of what they are, look like, seem to be, etc:
Salvation is my only function here.
God still is Love, and this is not His Will.
Exercise
5 minutes once an hour.
Yet, Jesus tells us to practice the Holy Spirit’s Thought today and let His light seek out and lighten up all the darkened spots within our mind.
He says as follows:
It is God's Will your mind be one with His. It is God's Will that He has but one Son. It is God's Will that His one Son is you. Think of these things in practicing today, and start the lesson that we learn today with this instruction in the way of truth:
Salvation is my only function here.
Salvation and forgiveness are the same.
Turn to the Holy Spirit and let Him teach you how to lay fear aside.
If you are tempted to believe any forms of fear in whatever appearance they may take, say:
Salvation is my only function here.
God still is Love, and this is not His Will.
Between the hour remind yourself:
Salvation is my only function here.
You are laying forgiveness on your mind and letting fear be put aside and allowing love to show you who you are each time you practice this today.

Lesson 96
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 96-Salvation comes from my one Self.
Keys to this Lesson
We seem to experience ourselves as two selves, good/evil, mind/body, etc.
We have sought many of our own solutions and none of them have ever worked.
We cannot reconcile truth and illusion. We just can’t do it.
The self we made can never be our True Self, nor are we split in two.
Spirit uses our mind to find expression.
The mind which serves the spirit is at peace and filled with joy.
Our True Self retains the Thoughts of God.
This is our practice today.
Exercise
First 5 minutes of every hour.
We will search for the Holy Spirit in our mind.
Salvation comes from this One Self with Him Who is the Bridge between our mind and our One Self.
Say:
Salvation comes from my one Self. Its Thoughts are mine to use.
Focus and think the Thoughts of God.
You will succeed and you will have the thoughts that tell you that you are saved.
Your mind will bless all things.
Your Self knows you cannot fail today.
If your mind seems uncertain it is okay, just continue to practice giving Him the willingness.
Every time we give 5 minutes in the hour we receive quite a gift.
Each time today you tell your frantic mind salvation comes from your one Self, you lay another treasure in your growing store. And all of it is given everyone who asks for it, and will accept the gift. Think, then, how much is given unto you to give this day, that it be given you!

Lesson 95
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 95-I am one Self, united with my Creator.
Keys to this Lesson
This lesson describes you as you are.
You are ONE!
Your perfect unity with God makes change in you impossible.
Look at how perfect you are!
You are in perfect harmony with all that is.
You are holy.
Jesus needs your help today to bring happiness to the world.
He tells us many times in this lesson:
Do not forget today.
Acknowledge Who you are today.
Exercise
First 5 minutes of every hour.
Practice today’s idea.
You still need discipline of the mind to not allow your mind to wander.
Keep to this schedule as it imposes firmer structure for you.
Do not use your lapses from this schedule as an excuse not to return to it again as soon as you can. There may be a temptation to just give up because you seemingly failed to do what you were supposed to do. Just do it when you remember!
This feeling of temptation to give up on the day is really:
A REFUSAL TO LET YOUR MISTAKE BE CORRECTED AND AN UNWILLINGNESS TO TRY AGAIN.
When you make a mistake and forget, it is just a mistake. It just needs to be corrected. You do not need to berate yourself. Just remember what you are to do.
Begin with:
I am one Self, united with my Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace.
Then close your eyes and tell yourself again, slowly and thoughtfully.
Allow these words to sink into your mind:
I am one Self.
Repeat several times and then feel the meaning.
Frequent, shorter practices throughout the day.
You need to be reminded of your purpose frequently because you forget.
Your acknowledgement of Who you are, united with God is a call to join with everyone in the world.
To everyone you meet today in your mind tell them this:
You are one Self with me, united with our Creator in this Self. I honor you because of What I am, and What He is, Who loves us both as One.

Lesson 94
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 94 - I am as God created me.
Keys to this Lesson
We have believed that we are darkness, evil and sin.
If others would know the truth about us they would be repulsed at what they saw.
But Jesus tells us something else.
We are not what we made and it doesn’t exist.
We are the Son of God.
Our sinlessness is guaranteed by God.
Light and joy and peace abide in us.
We will know this as we practice this today.
Light and joy and peace abide in us BECAUSE God put them there.
Exercise
Devote first 5 minutes of each hour to feel the truth in you.
Begin by saying:
I am as God created me.
I am His Son eternally.
Try to reach the Son of God in you.
This Self never sinned nor made an image to replace reality.
This is the Self that knows no fear and knows only love.
If you miss the first 5 minutes of the hour, at least remind yourself hourly:
I am as God created me.
I am His Son eternally.
Tell yourself frequently that you are as God created you.
If anyone irritates you respond as:
You are as God created you.
You are His Son eternally.
Make every effort to do the hourly exercises today.

Lesson 93
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 93 - Light and joy and peace abide in me.
Keys to this Lesson
We have believed that we are darkness, evil and sin.
If others would know the truth about us they would be repulsed at what they saw.
But Jesus tells us something else.
We are not what we made and it doesn’t exist.
We are the Son of God.
Our sinlessness is guaranteed by God.
Light and joy and peace abide in us.
We will know this as we practice this today.
Light and joy and peace abide in us BECAUSE God put them there.
Exercise
Do the following in the first 5 minutes of every hour throughout the day.
State the truth about your creation:
Light and joy and peace abide in me.
My sinlessness is guaranteed by God.
Spend the rest of the practice in experiencing what God has given you.
You are what God created or what you made.
Try to experience the unity of your one Self.
Try to give the first 5 minutes of every hour for these exercises.
If you forget, do so when you remember.
At least remember these thoughts each hour:
Light and joy and peace abide in me.
My sinlessness is guaranteed by God.
Then devote at least a minute or so to closing your eyes and realizing that this is a statement of the truth about you.
If a situation arises that seems disturbing, quickly repeat the thoughts again.
If you become tempted to become angry with someone:
Light and joy and peace abide in you.
Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God.
Today you are doing much for the world’s salvation. Each practice brings you closer.

Lesson 92
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 92 - Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.
Keys to this Lesson
This is the extension of yesterday’s lesson.
We think we see with our body, eyes and brain.
We think we think with the brain.
God’s strength in you is the light in which you see and the Mind with which you think.
It is weakness that believes we see through the eyes.
Strength overlooks the past.
It keeps the focus on the light and the Truth.
Weakness cannot see a purpose in forgiveness and in love.
It makes comparisons and differences.
Truth sees all as one.
The light of strength is constant, sure as love.
The strength in you will offer you the light and guide you.
Exercise
20 minutes, twice today, morning and evening.
Close your eyes.
LET yourself be brought unto your Self.
Leave the dark behind so we can practice in the light.
We are approaching the meeting place of self and Self where light and strength are one.
Throughout the day repeat the idea as often as possible.
Recognize we are being led to the light where miracles are perceived.

Lesson 91
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 91 - Miracles are seen in light.
Keys to this Lesson
Miracles and vision go together.
This NEEDS to be repeated frequently.
The miracle is ALWAYS there.
If we do not see it, it is because we do not have the AWARENESS of the miracle.
Light is crucial.
In darkness we cannot see and so we do not see the miracle.
If we don’t see it, for some reason we do not believe that it is there.
We need to reverse our faith in the darkness to that of the light.
When we realize our support in light, all of our doubts will vanish.
We must devote ourselves to feeling God’s strength within us today.
Exercise
Take 10 minutes, 3 times today for quiet time.
Longer practice periods
Say:
Miracles are seen in light.
The body's eyes do not perceive the light.
But I am not a body. What am I?
The question at the end is our focus for this practice.
If you are not a body, what are you?
What does the Holy Spirit use to replace the image of your body in your mind?
Ask honestly:
If I am not a body, what am I?
Devote several minutes to allowing your mistaken thoughts about yourself to be corrected by their opposites.
Say, for example:
I am not weak, but strong.
I am not helpless, but all powerful.
I am not limited, but unlimited.
I am not doubtful, but certain.
I am not an illusion, but a reality.
I cannot see in darkness, but in light.
In the second phase of practice, try to experience the truths about yourself.
Concentrate on the experience of strength.
Relax for the rest of the practice period in confidence that your efforts are supported by God’s strength.
We are united in strength.
Shorter periods
5-6 times an hour at regular intervals.
Remind yourself that miracles are seen in light.
Also use this if you are tempted to think otherwise:
Miracles are seen in light. Let me not close my eyes because of this.

Let me not obscure the light of the world in me.
Let the light of the world shine through this appearance.
This shadow will vanish before the light.
Lesson 62
If I accept my function I see the light in me.
My function is clear.
I just need to accept my function and not so much understand it.
I can simply trust.
The ideas are as such:
Let this help me learn what forgiveness means.
Let me not separate my function from my will.
I will not use this for an alien purpose.

Lesson 80
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 80 - Let me recognize my problems have been solved.
Keys to this Lesson
If we are willing to recognize our problems we will see that we have no problems!
The only problem has been answered and there are no other problems.
We are at peace always.
One problem, one solution.
Salvation is complete.
We are free from all conflict.
Today we repeat over and over that our only problem has been solved. It is something to be joyful about.
We can be in gratitude for this today.
We recognize our only problem and now we are open to the Holy Spirit for giving us God’s answer.
We accepted salvation because we brought the problem to the answer.
So, the one problem is SEPARATION.
The answer is ACCEPTING THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Very simple indeed.
We are entitled to peace. Relax into that idea.
If the problem is solved it can no longer bother us and then we are relieved.
Exercise
We claim the peace that is ours when the problem and answer are brought together.
God’s answer cannot fail.
The solution is right there in the problem.
We accept the answer today.
Close your eyes and let the peace that acceptance brings come to you.
Recognize that your problems have been solved.
You are out of conflict, free and at peace.
Always remember that there is one problem and one solution.
It is a guarantee.
Assure yourself often today that your problems have been solved.
Repeat it frequently today.
Apply the idea for today to any specific problem and say it quickly:
Let me recognize this problem has been solved.
This takes a lot of mindfulness to do so. As soon as you feel any disturbance within yourself, pay attention and apply the idea.

Lesson 79
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 79 - Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.
Keys to this Lesson
We cannot solve a problem if we do not know what it is.
And, we may not recognize that it has been solved already because of the way our mind is thinking.
Our problem, our only problem, is separation.
And for that God solved it instantaneously.
Now here in the world we seem to have all sorts of problems.
However, Jesus is telling us that these seemingly different problems are all the same.
How can that be?
Let’s trust Jesus on this as we continue the lessons and practice as he asks.
There is one solution to the one problem.
We can’t recognize that the problem, the only problem, separation, is solved if we think that there are so many other problems.
What happens here in the world is that we solve one problem, then another pops up, then another.
We have the answer and we don’t want to see what the problem is.
The problems of the world distract us.
Exercise
Longer Practice Periods
We will ask what the problem is and what is the answer to it.
We will not assume that we know.
We will free our minds.
We will realize that there is only one problem and we will ask for what that solution is.
In the practice we ask within our minds:
What is the problem?
What is the answer?
We simply wait for the answer.
We will be told.
We will be successful if we do not insist on defining the problem.
As Jesus says:
You are trying to recognize that you have been given the answer by recognizing the problem, so that the problem and the answer can be brought together and you can be at peace.
Simply wait in the silence.
Shorter Practice Periods
Do these when they are needed.
You will see many problems today, each one needing an answer.
Recognize again that there is only one problem and one answer.
By recognizing this, there is only peace.
If you are finding difficulty in the form of problems today tell yourself:
Let me recognize this problem so it can be solved.
Let go of all judgment about what the problem is.
Even close your eyes and ask what it is.
You will be heard and then you will be answered.

Lesson 78
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 78 - Let miracles replace all grievances.
Keys to this Lesson
Every single decision we make is between either a miracle or a grievance.
Grievances hide the miracles.
When we are attached to our grievances we cannot see the Light of Truth.
With today’s lesson we will practice going beyond our grievances to look on the truth instead.
The Son of God is behind the grievances. The Son of God is always there.
The grievances block our view.
Exercise
With the exercise we will attempt to see God’s Son in truth.
In this practice we will let go of our grievances.
For this practice, you will select one person you have used to target your grievances.
Jesus tells us how to do this:
We will select one person you have used as target for your grievances, and lay the grievances aside and look at him. Someone, perhaps, you fear and even hate; someone you think you love who angered you; someone you call a friend, but whom you see as difficult at times or hard to please, demanding, irritating or untrue to the ideal he should accept as his, according to the role you set for him.
You know the one to choose; his name has crossed your mind already. He will be the one of whom we ask God's Son be shown to you.
You have seen this person as an enemy and today with this practice he will be held in truth and as a friend to you. He is your savior and let him fulfill that role for you in God’s plan.
Longer practice periods.
See this person in the role of savior.
Hold him in your mind, first as you know him now.
Review his faults, the difficulties, the pain, his neglect and all the little and large hurts he gave.
See his body with its flaws and better points.
Ask the Holy Spirit to help you see this person as He sees them. That is, as the Son of God in reality and truth.
This person is our savior shining in true forgiveness.
We ask:
Let me behold my savior in this one You have appointed as the one for me to ask to lead me to the holy light in which he stands, that I may join with him.
Close your eyes as you do this and as you think of him who has been your enemy. Let the light be shown in him as your grievances drop by.
You cannot be denied in this request.
Your savior, this person, is awaiting you to free him and with him is your freedom.
Be quiet now and look upon this person.
The grievances are gone as you allowed the Holy Spirit to help you see him or her with His Eyes.
Remember this lesson today with everyone you meet and to anyone you think of from your past or from the present. Let them all be the savior to you.
Pray this:
Let miracles replace all grievances.

Lesson 77
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 77 - I am entitled to miracles.
Keys to this Lesson
Jesus affirms that we are entitled to miracles because of what we are.
God’s Son.
We receive miracles (shift in perception) because of what God is.
And we offer miracles as well because we are one with God.
Claiming miracles does not make us wrong or bad as the ego would make us out to be.
This is not magical powers, this is truth.
We claim miracles because it is our birthright and they belong to us.
We can release from the world that we have made.
Exercise
Begin longer practice periods by telling yourself confidently that you are entitled to miracles.
Closing your eyes, remind yourself that you are asking only for what is rightfully yours.
Miracles are not taken from one and given to another.
In asking for these rights, you ask for everyone.
Miracles do not obey the laws of this world as they follow the laws of God.
After the intro phase, wait quietly for assurance that you request is granted.
You will be given the means by which the salvation of the world will be accomplished.
Your request is granted because you have accepted the truth that you are entitled to miracles.
Shorter practice periods.
Tell yourself often today: I am entitled to miracles.
Ask for them whenever a situation arises in which they are called for.
If you find temptation come to you, say:
I will not trade miracles for grievances. I want only what belongs to me. God has established miracles as my right.

Lesson 76
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 76 - I am under no laws but God’s.
Keys to this Lesson
We have thought that things, medications, money, rituals, nutrition, friendship, other people would save us or heal us.
We have been mistaken by making our healing dependent on the outside world.
These have been laws that we have made to save us and as Jesus points out that make no sense.
They really serve no purpose in God’s World.
We think that here that the body is real, that it hurts and suffers. We want to save the body yet all of these things are only magic to keep us from seeing the truth about ourselves.
All these things before us we thought would keep us safe.
These are not the laws of God. This premise may seem strange to you as you are practicing this today. Yes, here in the world we are experiencing ourselves as a body and that we need to eat, drink and sleep. It is okay to still do these things yet we are taking a look at what is really behind it all. Going behind the curtain, so to speak.
God offers us joy and freedom. He wants us to know this.
Today we are opening ourselves up to listening to Him.
Exercise
Repeat today’s idea OFTEN today.
I am under no laws but God's.
As Jesus says,
We will repeat today's idea until we have listened and understood there are no laws but God's.
4-5 times an hour and in response to any temptation to experience ourselves as subject to the world’s laws.
This is a statement of freedom from the ego and the acknowledgement that we are God’s Son and we are saved.

Lesson 75
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 75 - The light has come.
Keys to this Lesson
Today’s lesson is rather soothing as you read it. Just listen to the first paragraph:
The light has come. You are healed and you can heal. The light has come. You are saved and you can save. You are at peace, and you bring peace with you wherever you go. Darkness and turmoil and death have disappeared. The light has come.
So today gives us something to celebrate, a happy ending.
Light has dawned and we see and experience anew.
The exercises today will be happy exercises.
We offer thanks for the passing of what has gone by and what is not beginning for us.
The shadows are leaving and we bathe in light.
Beautiful wording today and just stay with the practice as indicated today
Exercise
Longer Practice Periods
Focus on looking at the world that forgiveness shows us.
Tell yourself:
The light has come. I have forgiven the world.
Keep your mind open and CLEAN is what Jesus tells us.
Wait and be patient for the forgiven world to be shown you.
You might simply experience a sense of peace.
If you lose focus use slowly and with patience:
The light has come. I have forgiven the world.
Forgiveness entitles you to vision.
The Holy Spirit is with you to show you a different world than what you experience now.
Time to let go of how the ego’s world has failed you and to embrace God’s World, a world of love, peace and compassion.
Shorter Practice Periods
Joyful reminders of your release.
Every 15 minutes remind yourself that today is a special celebration.
Give thanks for the mercy and Love of God.
Rejoice in the power of forgiveness.
Be confident that today is a new beginning.
With this confidence look upon the world and say:
The light has come. I have forgiven the world.
If you are tempted by anyone or anything that pulls you into darkness, say:
The light has come. I have forgiven you.
Dedicate today to the serenity that your Father would have you be.
Keep this awareness today.
This is a celebration of joy as you forgive and see what is true.

Lesson 74
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 74 - There is no will but God’s.
Keys to this Lesson
Today’s idea is the central thought which all of our practices can be directed.
God’s is the only Will.
We will recognize that His Will and ours is the same.
We have no need to believe that conflict is possible.
Peace has replaced all conflict.
There is peace in practicing today’s idea and as you continue to practice you will see just that.
With God’s Will there cannot be illusions.
Give yourself the space to practice as Jesus suggests today.
It will be highly beneficial to your state of mind if you do so.
Exercise
Longer practice periods.
Repeat the following several times slowly.
Hold a firm determination to understand what they mean.
There is no will but God's. I cannot be in conflict.
Add related thoughts for a few minutes such as:
I am at peace.
Nothing can disturb me. My will is God's.
My will and God's are one.
God wills peace for His Son.
If any conflict thoughts come to mind while doing this, say immediately:
There is no will but God's. These conflict thoughts are meaningless.
If the conflict is in one area and it seems difficult to release, think about it specifically for a brief moment, identify the people or situations and then tell yourself:
There is no will but God's. I share it with Him. My conflicts about ___ cannot be real.
Now close your eyes and try to experience the peace to which you are entitled to.
Sink into it.
Jesus says that we may be tempted to mistake these attempts for peace as withdrawal, but they are not.
If you feel joy and an alertness you are succeeding. This would be instead of feeling drowsy.
Joy characterizes peace.
If you find that you are slipping off into withdrawal, repeat the idea for today and try again. Keep doing this as needed.
Shorter practice periods.
Do at regular and predetermined intervals today.
Say to yourself:
There is no will but God's. I seek His peace today.
Try to find what you are seeking.
You could do this for a minute or so every 30 minutes with eyes closed preferably.

Lesson 73
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 73 - I will there be light.
Keys to this Lesson
Today we learn more of the will we share with God.
This is not the same as what the ego wills.
The will you share with God has all the power of creation in it.
The ego cannot and does not care to share.
This is what we have believed and now we learn something different.
We learn that we have no need for grievances or righteous judgment against anyone or anything.
The ego only uses other people and situations to keep us away from God and knowing Who we are and what our purpose is.
Don’t listen to the ego today.
Today’s lesson will help us to reach into past the world as we know it and into the light.
The light is there.
It is seen when we withdraw our belief from the ego and all it tells us.
What we see outside of us is what is there in our mind. It is a mirror.
If grievances are in our mind, then we will look out on a darkened world, a depressing world, an unforgiving world.
Forgiveness lifts the darkness and we see only light.
Today we ask ourselves:
Do I want to be in hell?
Do I really want to continue to suffer?
Let go of the ego today and see that in God is where we can be happy and at peace.
We will succeed today if we remember that we want salvation.
We want to accept God’s plan.
We want the freedom to do so.
Our will is free. We have the choice.
So today we practice with confidence and trust.
Exercise
2 longer practice periods.
Begin with recognizing that God’s plan for salvation is in accord with your will.
It is not pushed upon you as it is your purpose.
Jesus assures us that we will succeed today.
We will be released from hell.
Keep your will clearly in mind and tell yourself with gentle firmness and quiet certainty:
I will there be light. Let me behold the light that reflects God's Will and mine.
Let your will joined with God step forward.
Put the rest of the practice period in His Guidance.
Shorter practice periods.
Repeat this several times an hour:
I will there be light. Darkness is not my will.
If you are tempted to hold a grievance throughout the day, any kind of grievance or judgment, say the same.
I will there be light. Darkness is not my will.
By doing so it will help you to let go of your grievances and judgments.

Lesson 72
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 72 - Holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for salvation.
Keys to this Lesson
The ego’s plan for salvation is an attack on God’s plan.
The ego attempts to destroy God’s plan.
The ego wants to replace God.
The ego embodies this idea.
The ego has made this body of ours to keep us alone and seemingly separate.
It seems that we are limited in many ways including communication with God.
Although we cannot be separate from God and we are always in communication with Him.
We never deal with who a person is, we are always dealing with what the body of the person is doing.
This is limitation in our thinking.
If God would be a body then our salvation would be death.
But God is not a body and neither are we.
Today we will no longer condemn ourselves for the belief in the body and the belief in the separation from God.
The truth is there within us, no matter how much the ego will kick and scream and no matter how many distractions the ego will throw up in our face.
We can accept God’s plan for salvation.
We can forgive.
Exercise
Longer Practice Periods
Our goal is to become aware that God’s plan for salvation has already been accomplished in us.
We must replace attack with acceptance through our practice today.
When we attack we cannot know what God’s plan is for us.
We attack what we do not recognize.
We try to lay aside judgment and ask for what His plan is for us by saying:
What is salvation, Father? I do not know. Tell me, that I may understand.
Wait in quiet for His answer.
We have been so distracted that we have not listened for God’s Voice to speak to us.
We have listened to the loud callings of the ego instead.
We have used grievances to keep Him away from us.
When we ask, we will be answered.
Be patient in listening for His answer.
This may seem hard to do, but just have trust that He will answer.
As Jesus tells us:
Whenever you feel your confidence wane and your hope of success flicker and go out, repeat your question and your request, remembering that you are asking of the infinite Creator of infinity, Who created you like Himself:
What is salvation, Father? I do not know. Tell me, that I may understand.
He will answer. Be determined to hear.
Shorter Practices
1-2 practices per hour.
These practices begin with:
Holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for salvation. Let me accept it instead. What is salvation, Father?
Have your eyes closed preferably, wait a minute or so in silence and listen for His answer.

Lesson 71
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 71 - Only God's plan for salvation will work.
Keys to this Lesson
The ego works opposite of God.
The ego's plan for salvation will not work.
The ego's plan is about holding grievances.
If someone else spoke or acted differently, well then you would be saved.
If some external circumstance or event were changed, you would be at peace.
The ego sees salvation always outside of us.
Each grievance that we hold tells us that if something were different out there in the world, then I would be happy.
It always leaves us searching for someone or something else.
The solution to all of this is today's idea.
Only God's plan for salvation will work and nothing else will.
Exercise
2 longer practice periods today.
Think about the idea for today.
It has two parts:
1. God's plan for salvation will work.
2. Other plans will not.
Don't be upset at the second part.
Today is full release that will lead you to joy.
After this, devote the remainder of the extended practice to asking God to reveal His plan to you.
Ask Him very specifically:
What would You have me do?
Where would You have me go?
What would You have me say, and to whom?
Give God the rest of the practice period and let Him tell you what needs to be done by you in His plan for salvation.
He will answer you in proportion to your willingness to hear His Voice.
Jesus tell us: REFUSE NOT TO HEAR.
We do have willingness to listen as proved by the fact that we are actually doing these daily lessons.
Shorter practices:
Tell yourself often that God's plan for salvation, and only His will work.
If you hold grievances respond with:
Holding grievances is the opposite of God's plan for salvation. And only His plan will work.
Remember the idea for today 6-7 times and hour.
This is the for you to remember your Source of salvation and see where It is.

Lesson 70
Lesson 70 - My salvation comes from me.
ACIM Workbook Keys with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 70 - My salvation comes from me.
Keys to this Lesson
All temptation leads us away from the fact that we can save ourselves.
We have believed up until now that salvation comes from outside of us.
We will let go of the guilt. Guilt is something that we made up.
We let this go today.
The acceptance of today's idea shows us these things:
Nothing outside of us can save us.
Nothing outside of us can give us peace.
Nothing outside of us can hurt, upset or disturb us.
We are in charge of the universe.
The remedy to our sickness, our mental sickness, is here.
God wants us to be healed and by practicing these lessons we will realize healing.
Exercise
2 longer practice periods - 10-15 minutes.
You decide when you will do these practices.
Think ahead as to when would be a good time to do the practices and then adhere to the schedule that you create.
Repeat the idea for today.
Add a statement to the effect that you recognize that salvation does not come from anything outside of you.
For example:
My salvation comes from me. It cannot come from anywhere else.
Devote a few minutes with eyes closed.
Review some of the external places where you have looked for salvation in the past.
(People, possessions, situations and events, self-concepts)
Recognize that your salvation is not in any of those things and tell yourself:
My salvation cannot come from any of these things. My salvation comes from me and only from me.
You will again reach the light in you, where salvation is.
Once again moving past the clouds that surround the light.
You will not find salvation in the clouds.
You do not want to look for idols in the clouds.
Pass the clouds by as you use whatever means you can.
You can also ask Jesus to take your hand to assist you through the clouds.
Jesus will help you today.
Shorter and frequent practice periods.
Remind yourself that salvation comes from you and nothing but your own thoughts can stop you.
You are free.
You are in charge.
Say:
My salvation comes from me. Nothing outside of me can hold me back. Within me is the world's salvation and my own.

Lesson 69 - My grievances hide the light of the world in me.
Keys to this Lesson
Grievances hide the truth and the light from us.
When we let go of our grievances then we are all released.
Exercise
Please see our video on "Meditation In and With ACIM" on our YouTube Channel - http://youtu.be/nohWvMZqk1w
This video (at around the 36 minute mark) takes you through this practice as a guided meditation.
First, devote several minutes to contemplating on what we are trying to do today.
Today we are making an attempt again to reach the light within us.
Jesus tells us that we are literally attempting to get in touch with the salvation of the world.
We will try to move past the veil of darkness, let it be lifted and see all tears of sorrow disappear.
Begin with the determination that salvation is your only need.
There is no other purpose or any other function.
We will find the light within us and hold it up for everyone.
With eyes closed, be very quiet.
Let go of everything that comes to your mind.
This is what Jesus tells us:
Think of your mind as a vast circle, surrounded by a layer of heavy, dark clouds. You can see only the clouds because you seem to be standing outside the circle and quite apart from it.
From where you stand, you can see no reason to believe there is a brilliant light hidden by the clouds. The clouds seem to be the only reality. They seem to be all there is to see. Therefore, you do not attempt to go through them and past them, which is the only way in which you would be really convinced of their lack of substance. We will make this attempt today.
After this settle into perfect stillness.
Remember how much you want to reach the light within you.
Determine to go past the clouds.
Reach out and touch them in your mind.
Brush them aside with your hand; feel them resting on your cheeks and forehead and eyelids as you go through them.
Go on; clouds cannot stop you.
Jesus tells us that if we are doing this properly we will feel a sense of being lifted up and carried ahead.
Have confidence and determination in this practice today.
Shorter practice periods, as often as possible:
My grievances hide the light of the world in me. I cannot see what I have hidden. Yet I want to let it be revealed to me, for my salvation and the salvation of the world.
You are not searching for it alone and you do know where to look for it.
If you are tempted to hold anything against anyone today:
If I hold this grievance the light of the world will be hidden from me.

Lesson 68
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 68 - Love holds no grievances.
Keys to this Lesson
If we were created like Love then we can hold no grievances.
When we hold a grievance we forget Who we are.
When we hold a grievance we are allowing the ego’s fearful thoughts to take hold of our mind.
We may not understand what holding a grievance does to us.
Not only does it bring us suffering but we are then denying that we were created by love.
When we hold grievances, deep down we are suffering guilt.
If we forgive then we will find the peace that we seek.
That is what Jesus offers us today.
If have a little motivation today you will find the peace that you can have when you let your grievances go.
Exercise
Longer practice period is 10-15 minutes.
Search your for those people with whom you hold major grievances.
Some will be easy to find, others may not.
You might even find you have grievances against those you like or love.
You will soon be aware during this practice that there is really no one that you do not hold some sort of grievance against.
Determine to see all of these people now as friends.
As you think of each person, say to them all
I would see you as my friend, that I may remember you are part of me and come to know myself.
Spend the remainder of the time thinking of yourself completely at peace with everyone and everything, safe in a world that protects you and loves you, and that you love in return.
Feel the safety surrounding you.
Try to believe that nothing can harm you in any way.
In ending the practice, tell yourself:
Love holds no grievances. When I let all my grievances go I will know I am perfectly safe.
Shorter practice periods
Use the following whenever you think of a grievance about anyone either physically present or not:
Love holds no grievances. Let me not betray my Self.
Also repeat the idea SEVERAL times an hour as this:
Love holds no grievances. I would wake to my Self by laying all my grievances aside and wakening in Him.

Lesson 67
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 67 - Love created me like itself.
Keys to this Lesson
Today you recognize what you are.
Love.
This is why you are the light of the world, why you are the savior.
You will make great effort today to reach this truth about you if only for a moment that you realize that this is in fact true.
You are like Love. You ARE Love.
Exercise
Longer practice period is 10-15 minutes.
Think about your reality and that your reality cannot be changed.
First repeat:
Love created me like itself.
Then add relevant thoughts such as:
Holiness created me holy.
Kindness created me kind.
Helpfulness created me helpful.
Perfection created me perfect.
Use any attribute as God would define Himself.
The purpose of this practice is to replace how you have defined God up until this point to what God’s Definition really is.
And if we are replacing God’s Definition, we are replacing what we have thought of ourselves as well since we are a definition of God.
After several related thoughts, drop all thoughts and then move past all the images and preconceptions and beliefs you hold about yourself.
You are approaching the truth about you.
Jesus tells us that:
If love created you like itself, this Self must be in you. And somewhere in your mind It is there for you to find.
Use today’s idea to replace any distracting thoughts that come into your mind.
You may need to use relevant thoughts as well if you find that you are still not coming to the place of the truth about yourself.
Be confident today that you are coming closer to this awareness whether or not you believe that you have succeeded or fail.
You in fact have succeeded.
Practice as often as you can today.
You need to hear the truth about yourself repeatedly.
Jesus suggests 4-5 times an hour or even more.
Remind yourself that LOVE created you like itself.
This is the truth, hear and listen to it.
Realize in the shorter practice periods that this is not the ego telling you this.
This is the Holy Spirit reminding you of your Father and your Self.
The Voice of the Holy Spirit replaces the ego’s voice.

Lesson 66
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 66 - My happiness and my function are one.
Keys to this Lesson
Fulfilling your function = achieving happiness.
We do not get the connection as yet but we will as we continue working on these lessons.
Our function and happiness are the same.
They may seem different but in all they are the same.
The ego likes to fight with Holy Spirit on what our function is.
It also wants to fight on what our happiness is.
But you see the ego attacks and the Holy Spirit never responds.
Why does the Holy Spirit never respond?
Because He is certain of what your function is and He knows that your function is your happiness.
We are working on today moving past the battle that seems to be going on and getting to the truth of the matter.
There is no reason to argue the truth.
The truth IS.
Love cannot give evil and what is not happiness is evil.
God cannot be what He is not.
There are two parts to the mind.
One is ruled by the ego and its illusions.
The other is the Holy Spirit and the TRUTH.
These are the guides that you choose between.
The outcomes you see comes from which guide or voice you have chosen.
Exercise
Longer practice period is 10-15 minutes.
Review these thoughts:
God gives me only happiness.
He has given my function to me.
Therefore my function must be happiness.
There is logic in these thoughts even if you do not understand these as yet.
There are two premises.
1st – God gives you only happiness.
2nd – God gives you your function.
Think about these thoughts during the practice.
Think about the many forms the illusion of your function has been in your mind.
Think about the many ways you tried to find salvation or happiness through the ego.
Did you find it?
Were you happy?
Did they bring you peace?
Jesus asks us to be honest today about all of this.
You either listen to madness or truth.
Try to make the choice as you think about the above two premises.
God only shares Himself with us.
Today we realize that only truth is true.
Shorter practices are done twice and hour:
Take a minute or so and repeat the following words slowly and think about them as you do:
My happiness and function are one, because God has given me both.

Lesson 65
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 65 - My only function is the one God gave me.
Keys to this Lesson
Today we reaffirm our commitment to salvation.
That is our function.
There are two phases to our acceptance of salvation:
1. We recognize that salvation is our function.
2. We let go of all other goals that we have set aside for ourselves.
By accepting this we can truly mean that our only function is the one God has given us.
This function will alone bring us peace of mind.
The lesson today helps us to relieve ourselves of all the things that we think are difficult in our everyday lives.
We now have the key to peace, it’s in our hands and it is time that we use it.
Exercise
Today and for several days – set aside 10-15 minutes for a sustained practice.
In this longer practice you will try to understand what the idea really means.
Make this extended period at the approximate same time each day.
Schedule this time into your day so that you are giving God your utmost priority.
We need this discipline so be sure to set that time aside.
In this longer period, review the idea:
My only function is the one God gave me.
Close your eyes, repeat it to yourself again and then watch your mind for thoughts that come into the mind.
Allow these thoughts to arise whether they relate to the idea or not.
Note each thought, do not become attached to the thought.
Just tell yourself:
This thought reflects a goal that is preventing me from accepting my only function.
After some time interfering thoughts may dissipate.
Continue though for a minute or two longer.
Catch those last few remaining thoughts.
Do not strain yourself.
Tell yourself:
On this clean slate let my true function be written for me.
These exact words are not important but something similar will work.
Repeat the idea then once more:
My only function is the one God gave me.
Devote the rest of the time to focusing on the importance of this thought to you.
Shorter practice periods are to be done at once an hour.
Use the following:
My only function is the one God gave me. I want no other and I have no other.
Do some of these with your eyes closed and some others with the eyes open looking around you.

Lesson 64
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 64 - Let me not forget my function
Keys to this Lesson
Jesus relates today’s lesson of another way of saying:
Let me not wander into temptation.
Let us remember that the world that we see around us is keeping us from knowing the truth about us.
It keeps us from our job, our function of forgiveness.
This has all been a temptation to abandon God.
We did this by the physical world, this physical body.
Everything we see with these yes is a temptation to keep the distance between God and us.
Holy Spirit can help us with these illusions that we have made.
He can help us to learn to forgive ourselves for what we thought we have done.
That is the separation from God.
With the Holy Spirit’s help we can see now that this world can help us instead of hinder us by recognizing it as a tool for saving ourselves.
We are the light of the world and that is our function.
God gave us this function.
The ego may question this, but do not listen to what it says to you.
Stay focused on the fact that you are God’s Son and you are simply to be happy.
The way to be happy is to forgive.
Exercise
Morning and evening and throughout the day.
Do at least one practice for 10-15 minutes.
Do this with closed eyes.
Allow related thoughts to come to mind about your function.
Use these thoughts for your practice:
Let me not forget my function.
Let me not try to substitute mine for God's.
Let me forgive and be happy.
Prepare for decisions you will make today by remembering that decisions are very simple.
The decision is between happiness and unhappiness.
Don’t be concerned of form and what it has to do with content.
The one simple choice, for happiness, is the only choice there is.
The only choice that the Holy Spirit sees and helps you with.
Frequent applications
Devote several minutes and review the above thoughts.
Think about them and nothing else.
If you need help with concentration, you can repeat:
Let me not forget my function.
2 shorter practices also required.
Do with eyes closed and concentrate on the thoughts you are using.
At other times keep eyes open after reviewing the thoughts.
Then, look around, slowly, unselectively and tell yourself:
This is the world it is my function to save.

Lesson 63
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 63 - The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness.
Keys to this Lesson
As we are learning forgiveness is essential to our happiness and peace of mind. We can include everyone else’s mind as well here.
The very simple act of forgiveness can do so much, more than what we realize.
This is our function.
This is what the world is waiting for.
This is what we need to accept.
We are to let go of all the trivial things, ideas, desires, all these that take substitute for God.
We are in hell if we are attached to the world.
Today we are simply asked to accept salvation, that is saving ourselves and others from the belief that we are separate from God.
By our forgiveness is peace found.
Exercise
Begin and end the day.
Frequently through the day.
Close your eyes to facilitate the related thoughts to come to your mind.
If you cannot close your eyes, still proceed with the practices throughout the day.
Say:
The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness.
I am the means God has appointed for the salvation of the world.

Lesson 62
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 62- Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.
Keys to this Lesson
We have a function and that is forgiveness.
Forgiveness helps us to see the light in any situation.
When we open up to forgiveness we become the model for forgiveness thus bringing light into the world.
We don’t forgive ourselves but we join with Holy Spirit to do so.
Jesus also tells us that forgiveness is our salvation. It is what will save us from this world that we have made.
Forgiveness is a gift that we give ourselves.
It helps us to stay focused on the goal of remembering who we are, God’s Son.
When we forget and we attack whether it is attacking ourselves or attacking another, we are focusing on the weakness within us or we could say we are listening to the ego’s voice.
That is not what we want to do.
We want to focus on the strength that is within us, that which is of Christ.
That would be the voice of Love and Forgiveness that calls to us.
Jesus also shares with us what the benefits are of Forgiveness:
Removes all sense of weakness, strain and fatigue.
Takes away fear and guilt and pain.
Sounds like a good plan to follow! Count me in!
Exercise
Begin and end the day.
Frequently through the day.
Close your eyes for most of the practices.
Say:
Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world. I would fulfill my function that I may be happy.
Take a minute or so to consider your function and the happiness that it would bring to you.
Allow related thoughts come to mind.
If your attention wanders:
I would remember this because I want to be happy.
Forgiveness brings us happiness.

Lesson 61
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 61- I am the light of the world.
Keys to this Lesson
Today’s lesson tells us that we are the light of the world as God’s Son. It is not arrogant to say this but it is the truth.
Your ego may get some satisfaction on this thought as it wants to glorify itself and make itself special.
Just accept humility in your role in salvation.
God’s Voice is with you and tells you only the truth in this huge step into accepting your function here and in your salvation.
This is an acknowledgement of the power that you have within.
Exercise
Begin and end the day with practice period.
Also as many practice periods as possible.
Practice for 1-2 minutes.
Tell yourself:
I am the light of the world. That is my only function. That is why I am here.
Reflect on these statements with eyes closed.
Let related thoughts come to you.
If your mind wanders repeat the central idea to yourself.
I am the light of the world.
Jesus shares the importance of starting and ending the day with practice. As he says:
Thus you will awaken with an acknowledgment of the truth about yourself, reinforce it throughout the day, and turn to sleep as you reaffirm your function and your only purpose here. These two practice periods may be longer than the rest, if you find them helpful and want to extend them.
So let go of the ego’s views of you today. Know your purpose and know the truth that you are the light of the world.

Review I - Lesson 57
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Review I - Lesson 57 - Review Lessons 31-35
Keys to this Review and Lesson
Review I - Instructions (Repeated for today’s Lesson-Lesson 57)
For today we see that we are not the prisoner that we thought we were. No more the victim here in the world. We also see that we are the ones that made up the prison itself. We also remember that we are the Son of God and that we are free. We see that the world can be looked upon differently and seen from the eyes of truth. No matter what is going on in the world that disturbs me, I could see peace instead of what I am seeing. As we share peace with others, we understand that the peace is coming from deep within us.
Lesson 57
(31) I am not the victim of the world I see.

Review I - Lesson 55
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Review I - Lesson 55 - Review Lessons 21-25
Keys to this Review and Lesson
Review I - Instructions (Repeated for today’s Lesson-Lesson 55)
For today we strengthen our determination to see the witnesses of truth in us rather than the illusion that we see around us as the world. We recognize that everything we see is a vengeance against God and His Love. We can escape what we see by giving up the thoughts of attack. When I do this I can see peace, love, safety and joy. We can have the willingness to follow the Holy Spirit since He alone knows what is in our best interests. The very simple statement of surrender: I do not know what anything is for.
Now I can open my mind.
Lesson 55
(21) I am determined to see things differently.
(22) What I see is a form of vengeance.
(23) I can escape from this world by giving up attack thoughts.
(24) I do not perceive my own best interests.
(25) I do not know what anything is for.

As you practice focus on the central point as you think about it in relation to the idea.
For today we focus in on the idea of no neutral thoughts or neutral things all because my thoughts have power and by themselves they are not neutral. We are also looking at the fact that there are no private thoughts and the thought of separation had to be shared.
Yet, we are sharing nothing.
We can access our real thoughts if we have the determination within ourselves.
And as Jesus shares with us in the last commentary:
I would behold the proof that what has been done through me has enabled love to replace fear, laughter to replace tears, and abundance to replace loss. I would look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my will and the Will of God are one.
Lesson 54
(16) I have no neutral thoughts.
(17) I see no neutral things.
(18) I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing.
(19) I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts.
(20) I am determined to see.

Review I - Lesson 52 - Review Lessons 6-10
Keys to this Review and Lesson
Review I - Introduction (Repeated for Today’s Lesson)
10 days of review periods.
Each will cover 5 lessons.
Each has comments that you are to utilize in your review practice periods.
Exercise for the Review Lessons
Begin the day reading the five ideas and comments.
Practice with eyes closed in quiet space if possible.
Practice each one throughout the day as often as possible.
2 minutes or more for each practice period.
If one stands out to you more than the others it is okay to practice that particular one more.
At the end of the day review all five ideas again.
As you practice focus on the central point as you think about it in relation to the idea.
Just to note that some of these ideas are not in their original form but use them as Jesus directs us to do.
There is a relationship between these first 50 lessons and with this practice we are connecting these proverbial 50 dots in our mind.
The more we practice the more we will connect and understand.
Important point in the Introduction to the Review that Jesus tells us is:
You will yet learn that peace is part of you, and requires only that you be there to embrace any situation in which you are. And finally you will learn that there is no limit to where you are, so that your peace is everywhere, as you are.
We are learning that we can bring the learning and the peace with us into every aspect of our lives.
This is the practical application of the lessons.
You will notice that all of these comments under each review lesson are written in "I" statements. By using "I" statements it will help us to sink deeper into the meaning. We become aware that our thoughts have made what we see, what the past is or was, and what choice that we have now. It allows us to really build that foundation of our new thought system.
Lesson 52
The review for today covers the following ideas:
(6) I am upset because I see what is not there.
(7) I see only the past.
(8) My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.
(9) I see nothing as it is now.
(10) My thoughts do not mean anything.

Exercise for the Review Lessons
Begin the day reading the five ideas and comments.
Practice with eyes closed in quiet space if possible.
Practice each one throughout the day as often as possible.

If one stands out to you more than the others it is okay to practice that particular one more.
At the end of the day review all five ideas again.
As you practice focus on the central point as you think about it in relation to the idea.
Important point Jesus tells us is that:
It will be necessary, however, that you learn to require no special settings in which to apply what you have learned. You will need your learning most in situations that appear to be upsetting, rather than in those that already seem to be calm and quiet. The purpose of your learning is to enable you to bring the quiet with you, and to heal distress and turmoil. This is not done by avoiding them and seeking a haven of isolation for yourself.
We are learning that we can bring the learning and the peace with us into every aspect of our lives.
This is the practical application of the lessons.
Lesson 51
The review for today covers the following ideas:
(1) Nothing I see means anything.
(2) I have given what I see all the meaning it has for me.
(3) I do not understand anything I see.
(4) These thoughts do not mean anything.
(5) I am never upset for the reason I think.

Lesson 50
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 50 - I am sustained by the Love of God.
Keys to this Lesson
Today’s lesson gives us the answer to every problem that we could experience.
We think here in the world that many things sustain us.
Jesus tells us these things are:
Money, clothing, influence, prestige, being liked, knowing the RIGHT people, etc.
These are only replacements or substitutes for God’s Love.
These items keep us in a body identification.
Only God’s Love can protect us.
God’s Love lifts us out of the darkness that we perceive and into the Light.
Ignore the illusions and put faith in the Love of God.
With God’s Love we can resolve all difficulties in complete confidence.
When we focus on the Love of God we are releasing ourselves from the idols we have made of this world.
Exercise
2 times today, morning and evening, for 10 minutes.
Let the idea for today sink into your consciousness.
Relax into it.
Repeat it, think about it and let the related thoughts arise.
Allow peace to cover you gently.
Let know distracting thoughts come to mind, return yourself back to the today’s idea.
You deserve rest today.

Lesson 49
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 49 - God’s Voice speaks to me all through the day.
Keys to this Lesson
We can hear God’s Voice throughout the day, no matter what we are doing at a given time.
We are in constant communication with God even if it seems that we are not.
There are two voices within us.
The Voice for God that is calm, certain and at peace.
The voice of the ego which is frantic and distraught.
Only listen to God’s Voice.
We are practicing to stay with the part of the mind that stillness and peace reign.
Exercise
4, 5 minute practice periods.
More if possible.
Today we are actually trying to hear God’s Voice that will remind you of Him and of your Self.
With confidence we are approaching this happiest and holiest of thoughts.
As we do this we know that we are joining our will with the Will of God.
God wants you to hear Him.
He gave His Voice so that you might hear it.
Jesus instructs us to listen in deep silence.
Be still and open your mind.
You will be going past all the distracting thoughts that go on and on in the mind.
We are reaching our real home.
We are reaching God.
Repeat today’s idea very frequently.
Do it with eyes open when necessary, closed when possible.
Sit quietly and repeat the idea when you can.
This is an invitation for God’s Voice to speak to you.

Lesson 48
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 48 - There is nothing to fear.
Keys to this Lesson
How simple is the truth today!
Illusions are not facts.
In truth there is nothing to fear.
You can recognize this as you continue your practice of these Workbook Lessons.
Exercise
Very short and frequent practices today.
Repeat the idea as often as possible.
Use it with open eyes at any time and in any situation.
Also be sure to take a minute or so whenever possible to close your eyes and repeat the idea a few times slowly to yourself.
If anything upsets you be sure to use today’s idea immediately.
Jesus notes that the presence of fear is a sign that we are trusting in our own strength.
When we become aware that there is nothing to fear then we will begin to recognize that we are remembering God.
The instant we are willing to do this we will know that there is nothing to fear.

Lesson 47
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 47 - God is the strength in which I trust.
Keys to this Lesson
Well, it is no surprise Jesus tells us that if we are trusting in our own strength that we feel miserable.
We think we know it all and know the big picture to any situation and honestly we do not.
We do not know what the RIGHT thing to do is.
By ourselves we can do nothing but when we put our faith in our Father we find that we are safe in Him.
He loves us and protects us through His strength.
We are reaching His strength today.
Exercise
4, 5 minute practice periods.
However, longer and more frequent practices are urged.
Close your eyes and begin by repeat today’s idea.
Spend a minute or so in searching for situations in your life what you have invested fear, dismiss them by saying:
God is the strength in which I trust.
I’m thinking about my oral surgery tomorrow.
God is the strength in which I trust.
Slip past all concerns and all judgments you may have about yourself.
Any situation that causes you concern somehow has made you feel inadequate.
By not trusting ourselves we gain confidence!
In the latter phase of the practice, reach down into your mind to the place of safety.
You recognize when you feel a sense of deep peace, even if this is a very miniscule moment.
In that you have succeeded.
Jesus tells us to let go of all the trivial things that churn and bubble on the surface of our minds.
Reach down below those trivial things and reach the Kingdom of Heaven.
There is a place in you where there is perfect peace.
There is a place in you where nothing is impossible.
There is a place in you where the strength of God abides.
During the rest of the day repeat the idea for today often.
If you feel disturbed or not at peace, repeat the idea.
Remembering that peace is your right because you are giving your trust to the strength of God.

Lesson 46
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 46 - God is the Love in which I forgive.
Keys to this Lesson
God has not condemned us so there is no need for His forgiveness.
That may be a difficult thought.
Yet we stay with the idea that God is Love.
There must be condemnation if forgiveness is required.
When we forgive we are releasing ourselves from the illusions that plague us.
The interesting point here in today’s lesson is that since we only condemn ourselves then we only forgive ourselves.
Hold that thought.
God’s Love is the basis of forgiveness.
Forgiveness undoes what fear has made.
It helps us to return to the Mind of God.
Exercise
3, full 5 minute practice periods.
Many shorter practices throughout the day.
Repeat the idea for today.
Close your eyes as you do so.
Spend a minute of mind-searching for those whom you have not forgiven.
It doesn’t matter how much you haven’t forgiven them.
Jesus tells us that we either have forgiven them entirely or not.
Any person who comes to mind is perfect for this lesson.
Mention them by name, and say:
God is the Love in which I forgive you, Robert.
After you applied to all those who come to mind, tell yourself:
God is the Love in which I forgive myself.
Devote the rest of the practice to related ideas:
God is the Love with which I love myself.
God is the Love in which I am blessed.
Keep the central idea while you practice.
Examples:
I cannot be guilty because I am a Son of God.
I have already been forgiven.
As you end the practice period repeat the idea for today once more.
In the shorter practices, you can choose to repeat the idea for today in the original form or in a related form.
Jesus instructs us to be sure to make more specific applications if they are needed.
If you have a negative reaction to someone, tell them in your mind:
God is the Love in which I forgive you.

Lesson 45
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 45 - God is the Mind with which I think.
Keys to this Lesson
Today’s idea shows you where your real thoughts are.
They are nothing that you think you think, the same as what we think we see is nothing.
Jesus assures us that there is no relationship between what we think is real and what is truly Real.
He then tells us that we think with God and we share our thoughts with Him and He with us.
We are part of the Mind of God, so are our thoughts, and our thoughts cannot leave from Him, our source.
Where are our real thoughts?
With today’s practice we will attempt to reach our real thoughts.
We have to go into our mind to look for them and they are there, whether we believe that idea or not.
Why?
Because thoughts do not leave their Source.
Exercise
3, 5 minute practice periods.
Similar to yesterday’s practice.
We will let nothing hold us back, the world, our thoughts of the world or any beliefs.
The world would tell us there is no way that we can reach our real thoughts.
Do not listen to the ego’s small voice in this.
In God all things are possible.
We cannot fail at all.
He tells us that there is every reason to feel confident that we will succeed today because it is the Will of God.
Repeat the idea to yourself, closing your eyes as you do so.
Spend a short time in thinking relevant thoughts keeping today’s idea in mind.
Come up with about 4-5 of those thoughts.
I happily think the thoughts of God.
My mind is aligned with my Father’s.
My mind is eternal as are my thoughts.
Then repeat today’s idea and tell yourself:
My real thoughts are in my mind. I would like to find them.
Then go past all the unreal thoughts that cover the truth in your mind.
Reach the eternal.
Our mind has been cluttered up with meaningless thoughts.
The Thoughts of God have always been with us.
In today’s practice we are joining with the Mind of God.
Jesus tells us that in this practice today only one thing is necessary:
Approach as you would approach an altar dedicated in Heaven to God the Father and God the Son.
This is what you are attempting to approach.
It is a very holy and sacred task.
For the shorter periods today, remember how important it is to understand the holiness of the mind that thinks with God.
Take a minute or so, repeat the idea through the day.
As you do this, appreciate your mind’s holiness.
Let unholy thoughts dissipate as you stay focused on your holiness.
When you are complete thank Him sincerely for the Thoughts He thinks with you.

Lesson 44
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 44 - God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him.
Keys to this Lesson
We continue yesterday’s lesson.
We cannot see in darkness and we cannot make light.
We make darkness and think that we can see, but truly we are not seeing.
Jesus tells us that we need to recognize that the light is within us.
We cannot see outside of us.
Vision is possible as we continue to practice.
In today’s lesson we will be practicing reaching the light.
It may seem difficult but you have been training for this moment today.
You can do this.
Take your time and follow the instruction for the exercise.
If you forget, gently remind yourself to continue.
Exercise
3 Practice Periods
3-5 minutes each.
Longer time recommended but reduce if feel sense of strain.
This practice is the most natural and easy one for the trained mind just as it will seem unnatural for the untrained mind.
The good news is that your mind is no longer wholly untrained.
You are ready now to learn today’s form of exercise.
You may find though stronger resistance.
Why would you feel stronger resistance?
Because today we are leaving behind everything that we currently believe and all the thoughts that we have made up.
Today’s practice is a release from hell.
If you can just step away from the ego for just a moment you will see how meaningless and how fearful it really is.
Remind yourself that reaching the light is your escape from darkness.
Begin the practice by repeating today’s idea with your eyes open.
God is the light in which I see.
Close your eyes slowly repeating the idea several times more.
Now sink into your mind, let go of every distraction and interference that may arise.
You are quietly sinking past them.
Try not to attach to any thought or image that may pop up.
You mind cannot be stopped unless you choose to stop it.
Observe your thoughts and move quietly past them.
Remind yourself how important this practice is today.
It has great value to you.
Remind yourself that you are attempting something very holy.
Salvation is yours.
If you find resistance, pause to repeat today’s idea with eyes closed unless you feel a sense of fear.
If you feel fear, open your eyes briefly.
Return then to closed yes.
If you start to experience some relaxation know that you are doing the exercises correctly.
You may feel that you are approaching the light.
Light is formless and without limit as you pass by your thoughts of this world.
Do not give power to the thoughts that would bind you to the world.
Additionally, repeat the idea today very often, with eyes either open or closed depending on what feels right to you.
Do not forget.
Jesus adds that we be very determined not to forget today.
If you do forget, practice as soon as you remember.
Do not judge yourself.
Gently bring your mind back to the practice.

Lesson 43
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 43 - God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him.
Keys to this Lesson
God is the realm of knowledge and perception is not an attribute of God.
The Holy Spirit is the mediator between the two.
Without the Holy Spirit in our minds, perception would have taken the place of knowledge.
The Holy Spirit purifies our perception so that we may enter into knowledge.
This is the Holy Spirit’s function.
Perception has no function in God.
Perception does not exist.
Perception though here can assist us in our salvation.
It is not a bad thing.
It can simply be used to assist us in making us aware of how holy we are.
Perception itself has no meaning.
Holy Spirit can use it though to give us a meaning close to God’s.
Healed perception is how we forgive our brother and he, himself.
We cannot see apart from God because we are not apart from Him.
We think with Him.
We do with Him.
We see with Him.
Exercise
3, 5 minute practice periods.
One early in the day, the other as late as possible and the third during a convenient time for you during the day.
Repeat the idea for today with eyes open.
Glance around you for a short time, apply to what you see.
4 or 5 subjects is sufficient.
Example:
God is my Source. I cannot seek this desk apart from Him.
God is my Source. I cannot see that picture apart from Him.
Select the subjects indiscriminately.
During the second phase which is a little longer, close your eyes, repeat the idea and then let relevant thoughts come to mind.
Example:
I see through the eyes of forgiveness.
I see the world as blessed.
The world can show me myself.
I see my own thoughts, which are like God’s.
Any thought will do unless it is in direct opposition.
If your mind wanders or have oppositional thoughts to today’s idea or even if you cannot think of anything, open your eyes, repeat the first phase of the exercise period, then attempt the second phase again.
Don’t allow yourself to get distracted and preoccupied with irrelevant thoughts.
Return to the first phase of the exercise as often as needed.
In the shorter practice periods, use the following to whatever situations you come across today.
With someone else:
God is my Source. I cannot see YOU apart from Him.
Use with strangers as well as people close to you.
If anything distresses you, use:
God is my Source. I cannot see THIS apart from Him.
If nothing is presented, just use the idea in its original form.
Try to remember to do this today as often as possible.

Lesson 42
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 42 - God is my strength. Vision is His gift.
Keys to this Lesson
Two powerful thoughts in today’s lesson.
Jesus states that these thoughts are of MAJOR importance.
We are also learning more about the cause and effect relationship.
You cannot fail in achieving the goal of this course.
He continues to state that we will see because it is God’s Will.
His strength gives us power.
It is His gift that offers vision.
Of ourselves we do not have the strength and the power.
We can receive His strength anytime and anywhere, no matter what seems to be occurring.
You are always at the right place at the right time.
Exercise
2, 3-5 minute practice periods.
One after you wake and the other when you go to bed at night.
Wait until you can sit quietly by yourself.
Repeat the idea slowly with eyes open, looking about you.
Close your eyes and repeat the idea but more slowly.
Then try to think of nothing but thoughts that occur to you in relation to today’s lesson.
Jesus gives us these examples:
Vision must be possible. God gives truly.
God’s gifts to me must be mine, because He gave them to me.
Anything thought related to the lesson is suitable.
You may find yourself with many thoughts that are related as you practice.
If you have no thoughts come to mind, just open your eyes and repeat the idea once more while looking slowly about.
Close your eyes, repeat idea then look for related thoughts in your mind.
Step back and let the thoughts come. They will.
If it is difficult go back to instruction of open eyes, repeat and close eyes, repeat.
Practice frequently throughout the day for the shorter practice periods.
In these practices we are bringing thoughts together and teaching a unified thought system.
The more you repeat the idea today, the more you are reminding yourself of the goal of this course.

Lesson 41
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 41 - God goes with me wherever I go.
Keys to this Lesson
This idea helps us to overcome the loneliness and abandonment that we may feel.
Because at some level we feel separated, we will feel depression, anxiety, worry, helplessness, misery, suffering and fear of loss.
Here in the world we think we can solve the problem of how we feel except we do not look at the root of it which is that we believe that the separation occurred.
Jesus assures us that deep within us is everything that is perfect. That it will cure everything that we feel, the sorrow, the pain, the fear and the loss.
It would heal the mind.
We cannot be deprived because our Source goes with us.
We cannot suffer because our Source is with us.
Joy is with us.
We are not alone and we can have peace because God is with us.
We think that it is a dark cloud but today’s practice will assist us in moving past the cloud and into the light.
Exercise
1 long practice period.
In the morning as soon as you get up, sit quietly for 3-5 minutes with eyes closed.
Repeat today’s idea slowly.
Make no effort to think of anything.
Turn inward and past all the thoughts.
Allow the thoughts to simply move on by.
Repeat the idea if you find it helpful to refocus your attention.
This is quite like meditation using a mantra.
Jesus tells us that we are approaching reality when we do this and that we can reach God because it is natural.
The way is open if we believe it to be so.
Use the idea throughout the day, repeating it slowly with eyes closed.
Think of what you are saying.
Concentrate on the holiness that is implied.
You are protected always.
You can laugh at fear because God goes with you.

Lesson 40
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 40 - I am blessed as a Son of God.
Keys to this Lesson
And
Exercise
Short Lesson today but packed with practice.
Jesus shares with us that we are beginning to assert our entitlement to happiness.
Why?
Because of Who we are!
No long practice periods, but very frequent short ones today.
Every 10 minutes.
Attempt this schedule, try to keep the schedule.
If you forget, just try again.
Long interruptions? Try again.
Whenever you remember, try again.
Not necessary to close your eyes although you can if you would like to do so.
Jesus says that we may find it more helpful if we do.
There may be situations though today where it may be impossible.
He warns us not to miss a practice period just because we cannot close our eyes.
An interesting line he says here:
You can practice quite well under any circumstances….and here’s the kicker….if you really want to.
Repeat idea for today.
Add several attributes you associate with being a Son of God.
You are applying these attributes to yourself.
Examples:
I am blessed as a Son of God.
I am happy, peaceful, loving and contented.
I am blessed as a Son of God.
I am calm, quiet, assured and confident.
If you only have a moment to practice, just tell yourself:
I am blessed as a Son of God.

Lesson 39
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 39 - My holiness is my salvation.
Keys to this Lesson
The ideas in these exercises every day are very simple, very clear and totally unambiguous is what Jesus reassures us in today’s lesson.
No need for great intellectual leaps here, just dealing with what is clouding our judgments.
He asks us today: If guilt is hell, what is its opposite?
We practice because we do not completely understand what Jesus puts forth in A Course in Miracles.
Previously Jesus stated that our holiness is the salvation of the world and now we look at our own salvation.
We cannot give what we don’t have.
We teach salvation because we are already saved.
Our own salvation is important as it is in sync with the salvation of the world.
He also states here that OUR holiness is the answer to every question that was or could be asked.
Our holiness ends guilt.
God only knows us as holy Son.
Exercise
4, 5 minute practice periods.
Longer and more frequent practices encouraged.
Begin by repeating today’s idea.
Close eyes, search for unloving thoughts in whatever form, uneasiness, depression, anger, fear, worry, attack, insecurity and so on.
These are unloving and fearful and that is why we need saved.
Any specific situations, events, personalities you associate with unloving thoughts are to be used.
Search for every thought that stands between you and your salvation.
Apply as follows:
My unloving thoughts about my ex are keeping me in hell.
My holiness is my salvation.
Also use shorter periods throughout the day where you simply repeat the idea of the day slowly to yourself a few times.
Just relax too and think of nothing at some of these practices.
Jesus tells us that sustained concentration is difficult at first but it will become easier the more disciplined you become.
Introduce variety into the practice periods in whatever form you like.
Do not change the idea itself.
Whatever way you decide make sure that you are repeating the idea in the original form and then adding:
If guilt is hell, what is its opposite?
In the shorter applications which you should do roughly 3-4 times an hour or more, ask yourself the previous questions, repeat today’s idea.
If any temptations arise:
My holiness is my salvation from this.

Lesson 38
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 38 - There is nothing my holiness cannot do.
Keys to this Lesson
Jesus is telling us in today’s lesson that OUR holiness REVERSES all the laws of the world.
We are talking here all the limits of time, space, distance, etc.
Isn’t that amazing?
Our holiness makes us unlimited in power.
Why?
It shows us that we are the Son of God, one with our Creator.
Through our holiness the power of God is made available.
There is nothing that the power of God cannot do.
Because of who we are, the Son of God, one with our Creator, our holiness then can remove all pain, can end all sorrow and solve all problems.
Just like that.
And, it is not just ourselves but our connection with everyone else.
If we are holy, and we are, then everything God created shares that holiness.
We are holy because God Himself created all things to be holy.
Pretty easy concept here.
Exercise
In the exercise we will apply the power of our holiness to all the problems, difficulties, sorrow, suffering and more that we think may happen to ourselves or someone else.
4, 5 minute practice periods.
Repeat idea for today.
Then close your eyes.
Search your mind for any sense of loss or unhappiness as you see it.
Make no distinctions between situations that are difficult for you, or ones that are difficult for someone else. They are one in the same.
Now identify the situation and name the person involved:
In the situation involving my overwhelming work in which I see myself, there is nothing that my holiness cannot do.
In the situation involving losing the Super Bowl in which the New England Patriots sees themselves, there is nothing my holiness cannot do.
You can vary this and add your own thoughts:
There is nothing my holiness cannot do because the power of God lies in it.
No matter what variation you use remember to keep it focused on the main idea:
There is nothing my holiness cannot do.
We are learning that we have dominion over all things because of what we are.
Frequent shorter applications are also required today, apply the idea it the original form unless you see a problem concerning yourself or someone else.
If so, use the more specific form as indicated.

This is why we are here.
Our purpose is to see through our holiness.
We are indeed blessed.
No one loses.
Nothing is taken away.
AND everyone gains!
WIN WIN situation.
This is the end of sacrifice.

Follow immediately with another repetition with eyes open.
Repeat the idea frequently throughout the day as often as you can.
Apply it silently to anyone that you meet, be sure to use their name.

Lesson 36
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 36 - My holiness envelops everything I see.
Keys to this Lesson
We continue with an idea that still moves us from the perceiver to the perceived.
You are holy because your mind is part of God’s.
Because you are holy, your sight must be holy as well.
Jesus shares with us about the idea of sinlessness.
Sinless means without sin.
We cannot be without sin a little.
We are sinless or not.
If we are a part of the mind of God then we must be sinless or we are then saying that God’s mind would be sinful.
He adds on that our sight is related to His Holiness, not to our ego, and therefore not to our body.
Exercise
4, 3-5 minute practice periods.
Space them out evenly throughout the day.
Also use frequent short applications throughout the day.
Longer periods as so:
Close your eyes.
Repeat today’s idea several times, slowly.
Open your eyes and look around you slowly.
Apply today’s idea to what you see.
My holiness envelops that wall.
My holiness envelops these fingers.
My holiness envelops that body.
My holiness envelops this pen.
During these periods, close your eyes, repeat the idea and look around you as you repeat it again.
End with another repetition with your eyes closed.
Remember to do this slowly, as effortlessly and unhurried as possible.

Lesson 35
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 35 - My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.
Keys to this Lesson
Jesus tells us in today’s lesson that this idea is not how we see ourselves now, yet it is something that we can attain.
We may find it difficult.
We will believe we are part of where we think we are. He makes that clear to us.
We surround ourselves with what we want and believe.
We protect this image so tightly.
Yet it is still just an image.
This is not vision.
This idea for today is a different view.
We are establishing SOURCE which is that of God and then we are establishing who we really are in truth.
Jesus tells us that we are making the emphasis today on ourselves, the perceiver, rather than what we perceive.
Exercise
3, 5 minute practice periods.
Repeat idea to yourself.
Close your eyes.
Search your mind for descriptive terms in what you see yourself.
Include everything that crosses your mind whether they are positive or negative.
All are equally unreal.
Why? Because we do not look upon ourselves as holy.
As we are practicing the mind searching, we might have negative attributes about ourselves come to mind followed by positive or even self-inflating ideas.
The direction that we follow on these fantasies about ourselves does not matter.
Illusions have no direction because they are nothing.
Here are the examples that Jesus gives us for this lesson:
I see myself as imposed on.
I see myself as depressed.
I see myself as failing.
I see myself as endangered.
I see myself as helpless.
I see myself as victorious.
I see myself as losing out.
I see myself as charitable.
I see myself as virtuous.
These ideas will come to mind as we are thinking about the people, places and events in our lives.
Name whatever or whomever it may be.
Then apply the idea for the day.
I see myself as angry.
But my mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.
As you practice you may find that you are blank and are receiving no thoughts to use.
Don’t force or strain yourself with it.
Just relax and repeat the lesson:
My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.
It is important not to make unnecessary effort.
Also remember to use the idea frequently throughout the day when any attributes that you ascribe to yourself pop into your mind.
Apply the idea and the second part:
I see myself as lacking.
But my mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.
If you find yourself with nothing coming to mind, once again, just slowly repeat the idea to yourself with eyes closed.

Lesson 34
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 34 - I could see peace instead of this.
Keys to this Lesson
Today’s idea shows us the conditions that will prevail in the other way of seeing.
Take note: Peace of mind is an internal matter.
It begins with OUR thoughts, and then extends outward.
It is from our peaceful mind that we will see a peaceful perception.
Exercise
3, 5 minute practice periods.
One in the morning, evening and another at a time suitable to you.
Eyes closed during this practice.
We are focusing on applying this idea to our inner world.
We start off with mind searching.
Search for fear thoughts, anxiety-provoking situations, "offending" personalities or events, and anything that you think of as unloving.
Note them and repeat the idea slowly, allowing the next thought to come to mind.
If you experience difficulty with certain subjects, just repeat the idea to yourself slowly.
At this point do not worry about applying it to anything specific.
Just do not exclude anything purposefully.
Frequent short applications throughout the day.
Use whenever you lose your peace of mind.
Jesus says to protect yourself from temptation throughout the day.
Use this form if you find temptation arise:
I could see peace in this situation instead of what I now see in it.
If your peace of mind becomes one of depression, anxiety, worry or anger, use the idea as originally presented:
I could see peace instead of this.
If you still feel discomfort, take several minutes to repeat the idea until you feel some relief.
You can also use:
I can replace my feelings of depression, anxiety or worry [or my thoughts about this situation, personality or event] with peace.

Lesson 33 - There is another way of looking at the world.
Keys to this Lesson
We are learning today that we CAN shift our perception of the world both in its outer and inner aspects.
Yes!
Exercise
5 full minutes in morning and evening.
Repeat idea as often as you find comfortable.
Make the repetition unhurried.
Alternate between your outer and inner perceptions.
Do not shift between them abruptly.
Glance around the world you perceive outside.
Close your eyes and then survey inner thoughts.
Maintain a sense of equality.
Remain detached as you repeat the idea.
Frequent, short exercise periods during the day.
If any situation creates a disturbance for you, use the idea for the day in this form:
There is another way of looking at this.
Pay attention to how you are feeling today.
If you feel any slight upset use the idea immediately.
You may find you need to take a minute or so and sit quietly and then repeat the idea several times.
Jesus recommends that we close our eyes with this type of application.

Lesson 32
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 32 - I have invented the world I see.
Keys to this Lesson
More Cause and Effect with today’s lesson.
We are not THE victim of the world we see because we made it up!
We invented it!
And because we made it up, we can give it up just as easily!
Jesus says, we will see it or not as we wish.
Do I want to still see it?
That’s the question to ask ourselves.
This lesson applies to both our inner and outer worlds and we have learned previously that they are one in the same.
Yet, we still see the inner and outer worlds as different.
The practices today will involve both.
Exercise
2, 3-5 minute Practice Periods, morning and evening.
No less than 3 minutes for this practice.
If you find this exercise restful, Jesus suggests that we can go on longer than 5 minutes.
Be sure to practice in a quiet spot where few distractions will occur.
Repeat the idea 2-3 times while looking around at the world outside of you.
Close your eyes and look at your inner world.
Treat them both equally.
Repeat the idea slowly as often as you wish.
Continue the idea throughout the day as often as possible.
These applications are:
Repeat the idea slowly as you survey either the inner or outer world.
It does not matter which one you decide to use.
The idea for today can also be used immediately to any situation that upsets you in this form:
I have invented this situation as I see it.

Lesson 31
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 31 - I am not the victim of the world I see.
Keys to this Lesson
We are not THE victim, not A victim as is commonly used in reference to this lesson.
Nothing outside of us, that which is external can affect us in any way.
So that is why today’s lesson is as Jesus says, an introduction to our declaration of release.
We apply this lesson to both our inner and outer worlds.
We continue with a practice which has two aspects of it.
1 - Apply the idea through set practice periods.
2 - Frequent applications throughout the day.
Practice
2 - practice periods.
One in the morning, one at night.
3-5 minutes for each.
Look about you slowly as you repeat the lesson 2-3 times.
Afterwards, close your eyes.
Apply to your inner world.
Jesus says that we will escape from both.
Why? Because the inner is the cause of the outer.
Cause and effect.
As you look within, let whatever thoughts cross your mind come into your awareness.
Consider the thought, then move on to the next thought.
No levels or degrees of thoughts.
Watch your thoughts pass by without attachment to any of them.
This would be like a train going by, let each thought be a railcar that stops in front of you and then goes on to the next railcar.
This thought about a project of work that needs to be completed.
This thought about what I’m doing this weekend with friends.
This thought about the national news stories.
This thought about making an appointment for my cat.
This should take a very even pace.
Be calm and quiet as you sit watching the thoughts.
Repeat the idea for today if you feel so inclined.
Remember that there should be no sense of hurry as you do this.
Repeat the idea as often as possible throughout the day.
You are making a Declaration of Independence!
This is for your freedom!
In your freedom lies the freedom of the world.
If you feel any temptation arise throughout the day, with what you see outside of you or feelings you have within, use the idea.
It is there for your benefit.

Lesson 30
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 30 - God is in everything I see because God is in my mind.
Keys to this Lesson
Today’s idea is the springboard for vision.
In accepting this idea the whole world opens up and we will see it as never before.
We are using a new kind of projection.
We are not trying to get rid of what we do not like.
We are trying to see the world that is in our minds.
We are trying to join with what we see, rather than keeping it apart from us.
So this is the difference between what vision is vs. the way we have seen all along.
Real vision is not unlimited by space and distance, but it does not depend on the body’s eyes at all.
The mind is its only source.
Practice
Apply as often as possible today.
Repeat to yourself slowly while looking about you.
This idea applies to everything you see now or could see if it were in your range of sight.
Also devote several practice periods to applying the idea with eyes closed.
Use whatever subjects come to mind.
Look within.
Today’s idea applies to both within and without equally.

Lesson 29
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 29 - God is in everything I see.
Keys to this Lesson
We are learning today why we can see purpose in everything.
It also explains where there is no separation.
It explains why nothing we see means anything.
It brings all the lessons so far into focus.
Today’s idea is the basis of true vision.
Jesus tells us that we may not grasp this idea today.
We may find it silly, irreverent, senseless, funny, perhaps even objectionable.
Certainly God is not in a table as you see it.
In yesterday’s lesson though it was emphasized that a table shares the purpose of the universe.
What shares the purpose of the universe shares the purpose of its Creator.
Jesus asks us that today we step back a little and look upon all things with love, appreciation and most importantly, open-mindness.
Nothing is as it appears to us.
We cannot see the holy purpose beyond our small scope.
He also tells us that when vision has shown us the holiness that lights up the world, then we will understand what we mean when we say:
God is in everything I see.
Exercise
6, 2 minute practice periods.
Repeat the idea to yourself.
Apply to random subjects, naming it specifically.
Don’t choose the object yourself.
Allow it to be chosen as you place your eyes upon it.
God is in everything I see.
Examples:
God is in this coat hanger.
God is in this magazine.
God is in this finger.
God is in this lamp.
God is in that body.
God is in that door.
God is in that waste basket.
Additionally, repeat the idea once an hour.
Look slowly about you as you say the words slowly.
Jesus tells us that at least once or twice that we should experience a sense of restfulness.

Lesson 28
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 28 - Above all else I want to see things differently.
Keys to this Lesson
Today we are applying yesterday’s idea.
If you hadn’t noticed, yesterday’s idea was more like a mantra that we repeated throughout the day.
It was a preparation for today’s practice as it helped us to make the determination that we want to see.
Today’s practice periods will give us a deeper commitment.
Be willing to make the commitment now to your awakening.
With the willingness, Jesus says, you are on your way to keeping your commitments.
He goes on to say to us, well, why is it important to say that – Above all else I want to see this table differently.
In itself it isn’t important.
As we look around us we see separate objects, bodies, places, etc.
We see separation.
Jesus is helping us to no longer see the separation but to see all as one.
When we say today’s idea, we are making a commitment to withdraw everything that we have believed before about what we see.
We are opening our mind to move beyond the past.
We are not limiting what we see when we do this.
Today when we say today’s idea we are making the commitment to see anything and everything differently.
We could gain vision if we could withdraw all of our ideas and beliefs about any one object and look with a completely open mind.
That is what he asks us here.
There is something underneath it all.
What is there is beautiful, clean, of infinite value, full of happiness and hope.
Hidden under my ideas is the real purpose, the real purpose it shares with all the universe.
So in saying today’s idea we are asking to see the purpose of the universe.
Interesting isn’t it?
We think that it is one activity that we are doing when in fact we are opening our mind even more to see what is beyond the veil.
Exercise
6, 2 minute practice periods.
State idea for the day.
Apply to what you see around you.
Chose objects randomly.
Treat each equally.
Keep your eyes on the object as you say:
Above all else I want to see this guitar differently.
Above all else I want to see that cat differently.
Go slowly and thoughtfully.

Lesson 27
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 27 - Above all else I want to see.
Keys to this Lesson
This idea is stronger than just plain determination.
It gives vision first priority.
Through your willingness you will demonstrate that you are ready.
You may feel a little apprehensive about today’s idea.
You may be unsure if you really mean it as you practice it.
Jesus tells us that it does not matter.
Just practice the lesson and see that it will bring the truth nearer to you.
You may feel a sense of temptation to believe that you need to sacrifice something when you say - Above all else I want to see.
If you find this to be true, he asks us to say:
Vision has no cost to anyone.
If there is still a fear of loss, we add further:
It can only bless.
Exercise
Repeat the idea for today at least every 30 minutes.
More if possible, 15-20 minutes.
Set a definite time interval for using the idea when you first wake up and then commit yourself to it throughout the day.
Use a timer or alarm to assist you if needed.
You can even repeat the idea while occupied talking with someone or working at your computer or even driving.
Jesus asks us, How often will you remember?
How much do you want today’s idea to be true?
This is really up to you, if you practice often then you know that you want the idea - Above all else I want to see. -- to be true.
This is not a harsh, fists clenched, I want to see!
Simply it is gentle and open - Above all else I want to see.
You might miss some of the applications.
Don’t be upset by this if you forget, do it when you remember and then make the commitment to continue through the rest of the day.
Jesus tells us that if you can just once during the day be perfectly sincere with the idea then you have saved yourself years of effort.
Imagine that!
Our dedication and sincerity saves us from years of misery.
Additional Thought:
If you find yourself unable to do the lesson due to an illness, or busyness, or travel for pleasure or work, just repeat the lesson when you remember.
You can do the lesson again but be careful that you are not taking a perfectionistic standpoint with it.
If you sense that is why you feel the need to repeat the lesson again or again, then just gently move on to the next lesson.

Lesson 26
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 26 - My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability.
Keys to this Lesson
If I believe that I am vulnerable then I believe that I can be attacked.
Very simple.
I see attack as a threat because I believe that I can attack.
So, because I believe that I can attack I believe that the world can too.
My mind is powerful and can be used for a different purpose and that is why we are completing this mind-training.
We fear attack because we project the attack thoughts.
Fearing attack, we think we are not invulnerable.
Attack thought make us vulnerable in our own minds, and that is where the attack thoughts are found. Right there in the mind!
Attack thoughts and invulnerability contradict each other.
Today we are learning that we always attack ourselves first.
What a concept!
But it is true, it is used to weaken us and distort our perception.
Because I believe in attack thoughts, then I can no longer believe in myself.
I have placed a false image in the place of who I truly am.
As we practice, we can see our thoughts bring the effect of what we believe; as he states here, vulnerability or invulnerability.
Nothing except my thoughts can attack me.
Nothing except my thoughts can make me think that I am vulnerable.
And nothing except my thoughts can prove to me that this is not so.
Exercise
6 practice periods, two minutes each.
Reduce to one minute if discomfort is felt.
Do not reduce to less than a minute.
Repeat idea for today
My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability.
Then close eyes.
Review unresolved questions whose outcomes cause you concern.
Concern could be: worry, depression, anger, a sense of imposition, fear, foreboding or preoccupation.
Any problem that is unsettled is suitable for today’s practice.
You won’t use very many in a practice period because you need to spend a longer time with each one.
Let me use an example while Rev. Paul was deployed in 2011.
Name the situation: I am concerned about Paul being deployed in Iraq.
What are all the possible outcomes? Say each one:
I am afraid, that someone will shoot down his helicopter, will happen.
I am afraid, that Paul would be killed, will happen.
I am afraid, that Paul would be seriously injured and disabled, will happen.
I am afraid, that I will be left alone, will happen.
I am afraid, that he will have to stay longer in Iraq than previously ordered, will happen.
You should have 5-6 possibilities available to use for practice and possibly more.
Jesus wants us to cover a few situations thoroughly rather than trying to fit many situations into the practice period.
Treat all possibility of outcomes the same.
After you name the outcome, tell yourself:
That thought is an attack upon myself.
Continue until the 2 minutes is complete for each practice period.
Repeat the idea for the day after you complete the practice:
My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability.

Lesson 25
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 25 - I do not know what anything is for.
Keys to this Lesson
Today’s idea explains why nothing we see means anything.
We don’t know what it is for and it is meaningless!
All of the previous lessons come in to play here.
We think the world is meaningful based upon what our ego has told us.
The ego is not who we are and the ego does not have our best interests in mind.
The ego is a false identification and so we really can’t have understanding if it is false.
Jesus tells us that when we can believe all of this we will try to withdraw our belief in the world instead of trying to make the world more real to us.
He shares with us the idea of purpose.
The example is given of a telephone.
We understand that a phone has a purpose to talk to someone who is not in the same room with us,
YET, we do not know WHY we want to talk to the person.
We think we do. But we do not.
Because we do not understand we do not know if the contact that we have is meaningful or not.
We have to give up all the goals that we have made for everything.
We have to recognize that they are meaningless.
Not good or bad, but meaningless.
As we proceed with this lesson, we will continue to train our minds to learn.
Exercise
6 practice periods, two minutes each.
Repeat idea for today, slowly.
Look about you and let your eyes glance on whatever catches your eye.
It doesn’t matter what it is.
Jesus says here to use whatever it may be, important or unimportant, human or nonhuman.
As you rest your eyes on the subject:
I do not know what this chair is for.
I do not know what this pen is for.
I do not know what this hand is for.
You are to say this slowly, keeping your eyes focused on the subject until you have completed the statement.
This may seem a little trying as you may feel you want to rush through the practice, or it seems boring to you or trivial.
Slow down and just trust Jesus in the process.
Keep moving to the next subject until the practice period is complete.

Lesson 24
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 24 - I do not perceive my own best interests.
Keys to this Lesson
We think we know what outcome would make us happy in any given situation.
Yet Jesus tells us that basically we know nothing.
We are only perceiving what the best outcome would be but in reality the desires do not serve our own best interests.
How could we know what would serve us best?
Once we realize that we do not know, then we are open to being taught.
If I still hang on to the idea that I think I know then I will not learn.
So willingness comes into play here as we focus on practicing today’s lesson.
Exercise
5 practice periods.
2 minute mind-searching periods.
Repeat today’s idea.
Search the mind with closed eyes.
Look for situations that concern you.
What is the outcome that you want for these situations?
You have so many goals in reference to the outcome and they most likely conflict.
Name the situation, then list the outcomes you desire.
In the situations involving my friend, I would like her to call to happen, and her to apologizeto happen.
Try to cover as many different outcomes that come to mind even if they do not seem related to the situation.
If you are doing the exercises properly, Jesus tells us that we will recognize that we make a lot of demands and most of those contradict one another.
We become disappointed in our outcome because we have so many goals that we are trying to achieve.
So after listing out all the outcomes for a situation, you then say:
I do not perceive my own best interests in this situation.
Continue until the end of the time period.

Lesson 23
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 23 - I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts.
Keys to this Lesson
This is the only way out of fear.
This way cannot fail.
Our thoughts make up the world.
Jesus needs to work with our thoughts so that our perception can be changed.
We do not want our attack thoughts for they make up the world.
We can’t change the world or mourn about it.
This world cannot be changed because it is merely an effect, an effect of our thoughts.
If we change our thoughts then we are changing the cause.
With the cause changed the effect will follow.
We see a world as a symbol of vengeance.
Everything we see is our attack thoughts presented to us.
We do not see ourselves as the image maker to this world.
We are not trapped here in the world because the cause of it can be changed.
We have to identify the cause and then let it go so it can be replaced with reality.
The first two steps require your cooperation.
The final step does not.
Jesus tells us that our images have already been replaced.
It’s already happened!
By our willingness to take the first two steps we will see that it is true.
Exercise
5 practice periods.
Also use as needed.
Look around you.
Repeat idea slowly to yourself.
Then close your eyes.
Devote a minute to mind-searching for as many attack thoughts as you can.
As each one comes to mind:
I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts about that friend who was dishonest with me.
Hold the attack thought in the mind as you say this, then dismiss the thought and keep going.
Include thoughts of attacking and of being attacked.
You will see that these are the same.
Treat them the same for these practice periods.
Jesus ends by saying, When you finally learn that thoughts of attack and of being attacked are not different, you will be ready to let the cause go.

Lesson 22
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 22 - What I see is a form of vengeance.
Keys to this Lesson
Jesus tells us that this lesson shows us what happens when we hold anger and attack thoughts in our mind.
We project those attack thoughts outward and expect to be attacked.
Our own attack we think is self defense.
Jesus also tells us that this is a vicious cycle.
Today’s lesson helps us to break the cycle and to begin to have peace of mind.
Exercise
5 times today for a minute.
Move eyes from one object to another, person, place, thing, etc.
Say to yourself:
I see only the perishable.
I see nothing that will last.
What I see is not real.
What I see is a form of vengeance.
At the end of the practice period ask yourself:
Is this the world I really want to see?
Jesus says that the answer is surely obvious.
Reflect on why this is so.

Lesson 21
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 21 - I am determined to see things differently.
Keys to this Lesson
We are building on the previous lesson, I am determined to see.
Exercise
Jesus sets up specific mind-searching periods in this lesson.
Also apply to situations as they arise.
5 practice periods today, each a full minute.
Repeat the idea to yourself.
Then, close your eyes.
Search your mind for situations either in the past, present or future that bring up anger for you.
The anger could be mild irritation or full blown out rage.
This does not matter. Use it.
We will start to learn that even the slightest irritation is hiding intense fury.
Don’t dwell on one situation or person over another.
Use all thoughts of anger for this lesson.
They are all forms of attack.
After the mind-search, hold the thought in mind while you say,
Examples:
I am determined to see Newt Gingrich differently.
I am determined to see the crash of the Italian cruise liner and its captain differently.
Be as specific as possible.
You can do this by focusing in on your anger on a particular attribute of a particular person, thus believing that the anger is limited to this aspect.
I am determined to see the cowardice in the Cruise Ship’s Captain differently.
It may be helpful to journal on each lesson.
Ask questions – What does today’s lesson mean to me?
How can I understand it?
Holy Spirit, I ask you to clarify the meaning for me.
How can I apply this lesson in my life right now?
And always end with gratitude for the Holy Spirit’s Wisdom.

Lesson 20
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 20 - I am determined to see.
Keys to this Lesson
This is the first lesson where structure is introduced.
This is for the reversal of your thinking.
Your salvation and that of the world depends upon it.
You want salvation.
You want to be happy.
You want peace.
We don’t have these because our minds are so undisciplined.
These Workbook Lessons are training us to discipline our mind.
Our decision and our determination to see is all that we need to begin.
You have a little willingness right now as you do this lesson.
You are worth this little willingness to heal your mind.
Exercise
During the day remind yourself the day that you want to see.
Repeat the idea - I am determined to see.
As you are repeating this idea you are saying that you want to change what you have thought before to what God thinks.
Repeat the idea slowly at least twice an hour on the half hour.
If you forget, don’t be distressed, do it when you remember.
But make an effort to remember.
You can use a timer, alarm, watch or software app to assist you to remember.
Repeat the idea to any situation, person, or event that upsets you.
You can see them differently, and you will.

Lesson 19
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 19 - I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts.
Keys to this Lesson
What are we learning with this lesson?
What I see does not affect me alone.
Thinking and its results are simultaneous.
Cause AND effect.
Cause = Thinking
Effect = What you see
Minds are joined.
There are no private thoughts.
Don’t let the idea of no private thoughts scare you though.
You will probably have resistance to the idea.
Yet, as Jesus says, you will understand it later.
Why is this important? It is for your salvation.
Exercise
Eyes closed.
Repeat idea.
Minute of mind searching for thoughts.
Name the thought using person or theme it contains.
Hold the thought in your mind as you say:
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of this thought about my niece’s new baby.
Every thought is useful for this lesson.
Random in nature.
Jesus states, Lack of order in this connection will ultimately make the recognition of lack of order in miracles meaningful to you.
3 practice periods, no more than 4.
Shorten length if needed.
Use as needed throughout your day.

We will learn more about this idea as the lessons progress.
This is not about what you see but how you see it.
Exercise

Look about you, select subjects randomly.
Keep your eyes on the subject as you say the following, then move to the next.
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of how I see that TV.
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of how I see that couch.
Conclude with the general idea.
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing.

ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 17 - I see no neutral things.
Keys to this Lesson
We are looking at how cause and effect works here in the world.
So why are there no neutral things?
If we remember from our previous lesson, we do not have neutral thoughts.
The thought comes first, then the world is projected.
This lesson then is a continuation of what we have been learning in the previous lessons.
Why could this idea be hard?
We want to believe that it is something outside of us that is affecting us.
Exercise
Eyes open.
Say to yourself, I see no neutral things because I have no neutral thoughts.
Look around you, glance on each thing, then say:
I do not see a neutral wall, because my thoughts about walls are not neutral.
I do not see a neutral body, became my thoughts about bodies are not neutral.
No distinctions between animate or inanimate, pleasant or not.
You do not see anything that is really alive or really joyous.
3-4 practice periods, no less than three.
If you experience discomfort or resistance, reduce the length of the practice period.

Lesson 16
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 16 - I have no neutral thoughts.
Keys to this Lesson
Start to let go of the belief that our thoughts have no effect.
Everything we see is because of our thoughts.
Think of a movie projector.
Our thoughts are the film, our eyes the projector onto the screen of the world.
Jesus notes here -
Thoughts are not big, little, powerful, weak.
Either true or false, that’s it.
Every thought you have either extends the truth or multiplies illusions.
Think of that.
100 x 0 is still ZERO.
1000 x 0 is still ZERO, nothing, nada.
Same with 1,000,000 x 0.
We have to recognize that our thoughts bring either love or fear.
Neutral result is impossible.
Our thoughts are not neutral.
Exercise
Eyes closed.
Search mind for a minute or so.
Do not overlook any thought.
May seem hard but persevere.
EVERY thought is perfect for this application.
Repeat idea to yourself.
I have no neutral thoughts.
This thought about the football game is not a neutral thought.
That thought about my sister is not a neutral thought.
Use the idea when you become uneasy.
This thought about the cruise liner crashing in Italy is not a neutral thought, because I have no neutral thoughts.
4-5 practice periods are recommended.
3 is enough if you feel strained.
Reduce length of exercise if you experience discomfort.

Lesson 15
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 15 - My thoughts are images that I have made.
Keys to this Lesson
What we see before us is our thoughts projected outward.
We do not recognize them as nothing or meaningless.
We think we think them, so we think we see them.
Jesus tells us that this is how our SEEING was made.
We gave the body’s eyes this purpose.
We are not really seeing, we are making images, pictures, illusions.
Jesus says this is an introductory idea of image making and our supposed seeing.
We will understand, he says, when we have seen light around familiar objects, ever so subtle at the edges.
This is the beginning of real vision.
Do not be afraid of these light episodes.
They are the sign that we are beginning to awaken.
They symbolize true perception but knowledge.
We are preparing for knowledge by doing these lessons.
The Exercise
Repeat idea to yourself.
Apply to whatever you see.
Use its name as you rest your eyes on it.
My thoughts are images that I have made.
This table is an image that I have made.
That monitor is an image that I have made.
This ring is an image that I have made.
That body is an image that I have made.
A minute or so of practice for each of 3 practice periods.
Idea can be applied as needed.

Lesson 14
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 14 - God did not create a meaningless world.
Keys to this Lesson
Today’s idea tells us pretty plainly that this is why a meaningless world is impossible.
As Jesus tells us, what God did not create does not exist.
And only what He created exists.
The world we see is only what we made and it is not real.
We take yet another step in letting go of our thoughts that have made this world and see God’s Word and reality instead.
As we continue on the lesson path we may find it difficult or we may experience pain or feel fear.
The good news is that you will move beyond it.
Jesus assures us that we are heading in the right direction, that of perfect safety and perfect peace.
Exercise
Eyes closed through the exercise.
Mind-search for about a minute.
Think of the horrors in the world that cross your mind.
Name each one, then deny its reality.
Anything that you might be afraid that might happen to you or someone you love. This means anyone.
First examples:
God did not create that war, and so it is not real.
God did not create that airplane crash, and so it is not real.
Be sure to name it specifically, do not use general terms.
He gives us the example:
Do not say "God did not create illness," but, "God did not create cancer."
God did not create that bombing, and so it is not real.
Whatever may come to mind.
What God did not create can only be in your own mind.
It has no meaning
Conclude with "God did not create a meaningless world."
No more than 3 practices today unless you are comfortable.
You can also use this if anything comes to you that upsets or disturbs you in some way.
Be specific: God did not create a meaningless world. He did not create that shooting, and so it is not real.

Lesson 13
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 13 - A meaningless world engenders fear.
Keys to this Lesson
Similar to previous lesson, yet more specific on the emotion that comes up.
Nothing without meaning exists.
We think we perceive something that HAS meaning.
This may arouse anxiety in us, Jesus states.
God and ego "challenge" each other for the empty space to have their meaning put there.
The ego is fearful of the void as it may prove its unreality.
Recognize meaninglessness without fear.
If you are fearful, you will see a world that is full of fear which is not what it truly is. It is meaningless.
Exercise
3-4 practices for a minute.
Close eyes
Repeat: A meaningless world engenders fear.
Open eyes
Look around, say slowly: I am looking at a meaningless world.
Repeat
Close eyes
Repeat: A meaningless world engenders fear because I think I am in competition with God.
You may find resistance at this closing statement.
Whatever form your resistance may take, remind yourself that you are really afraid of such a thought because of the "vengeance" of the "enemy" and what we mean here is the ego.
You do not have to believe the statement.
You may think it ridiculous.
Note any overt/covert fear.
First attempt with the cause and effect relationship.
Do not dwell on concluding statement, only use it during practice periods.
Remember to read the lesson as written in A Course in Miracles, please use these Keys as a tool to assist you.
A Note about Resistance
After 13 lessons now, you may be finding some resistance to either the lessons or practicing the lessons. I think that resistance is inevitable. We are here in this world that WE have made and Jesus wants us to TEAR IT DOWN. We don’t want to!! We are KICKING AND SCREAMING all the way! I like the world just the way it is thank you Jesus. OR do I? If I’m miserable at times, then happy, then sad, then happy, then pissed off, then happy. Is this really a world I want?
Resistance is futile-as the Borg from Star Trek would say.
I think we need to be reminded of what Jesus shares in the introduction. He says to not judge the ideas, just apply as directed. We don’t need to know HOW it works, but it WILL work. Just like a salve, apply the salve and in time the wound heals itself. The other idea Jesus shares is whatever our reactions may be USE THEM. Use the very thoughts and resistances and emotions for what he wants us to apply as these lessons continue on.

Lesson 12
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 12 - I am upset because I see a meaningless world.
Keys to this Lesson
This is correction for a major perceptual distortion.
We think that the world that we have given all these attributes to, and the ones that Jesus tells us here: frightening, sad, violent, insane and you could add more to that list.
YET, the world is MEANINGLESS.
Exercise
Eyes Open
Look around slowly
Pace yourself so there is a constancy between one thing to another
What you see does not matter
We give everything equal attention and time
We are learning that everything has equal value
Say:
I think I see a fearful world, a dangerous world, a hostile world, a sad world, a wicked world, a crazy world, AND SO ON
Use positive attributes as well if they come to mind
Good world, satisfying world
You may not understand why these "nice"" adjectives belong in the exercise but remember that a good world implies a bad world, a violent world implies a peaceful world.
Use all terms that cross your mind
Do not judge what attributes to use or not use
At the end of practice period
But I am upset because I see a meaningless world.
What is meaningless is neither good or bad.
Why should it upset us?
He tells us that if we can see that the world has no meaning then we can let God write His truth be seen.
In this we would find happiness, the happiness that we seek.
Instead we put our meaning on the world and wonder why we are upset.
The Word of God is underneath it all.
And as we practice we will come to know that it most certainly is.
3-4 practices, each no longer than a minute.
End the exercise if you experience strain.

Lesson 11
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 11- My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world.
Keys to this Lesson
1st idea that is related to the correction process.
It is the reversal of the thinking of the world.
The world does not determine what we see.
We, our thoughts, determine what we see.
Forgiveness is highlighted here as when we can understand today’s idea it will free us indeed from our self-imposed bondage.
Exercise
Close eyes
Repeat idea slowly
Open eyes, look about, near and far, up and down, everywhere
Repeat the idea to yourself slowly
Eyes should move from one thing to another rapidly.
Do not linger on any one thing.
Yet, repeat the idea to yourself slowly.
After the minute or so, close eyes, repeat idea once more slowly to yourself.
3 practice periods today, if no uneasiness as many as 5 can be attempted.
Do not do more than 5.
Here we are learning how we can have peace, relaxation, freedom from worry and anxiety that we have been seeking for so long.

Lesson 10
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 10 - My thoughts do not mean anything.
Keys to this Lesson
We will apply to all thoughts that we are aware of.
All of them are NOT our real thoughts.
Do not be concerned with comparisons as yet.
The form is a little different as we say MY thoughts instead of THESE thoughts.
We will not be focusing on anything outside of us.
The emphasis is on the lack of reality of what you think you think.
You are not thinking at all!
This is a correction process
A. I’m aware that my thoughts are meaningless.
B. My thoughts project outward.
C. My thoughts are in the past.
D. Thoughts in my mind tell me that I am not really thinking at all.
Recognition of this is important.
Exercise
Close your eyes, repeat idea slowly.
My thoughts do not mean anything.
This idea will help me to release me from all that I now believe.
Search your mind for all thoughts, note them, do not judge or make specific selections.
We are watching the thoughts go by with no attachment.
This is as if we are watching a train go by.
My thought about the circus does not mean anything.
My thought about doing the laundry does not mean anything.
My thought about that person who cut me off in traffic yesterday does not mean anything.
Use the idea for today with any thought that upsets you.
5 practice periods, no more than a minute of mind-searching.

Lesson 9
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 9 - I see nothing as it is now.
Keys to this Lesson
It’s unlikely you will understand what this lesson means yet but that’s okay.
In fact, if you’re in the place where you’re able to admit to yourself that you do not understand what the means, you’re ahead of the game.
The main concern at this point is the practice.
Keep practicing the lessons as stated with an open mind and eventually the experiences that will help you to understand the lessons will come naturally.
You may notice yourself feeling a little disturbed at this idea.
Perhaps you notice some questioning in your mind, a little frustration, mild irritation or impatience creeping in. If you do, that’s great!
These are examples of the subtle resistances to the ideas in the lessons.
They are resistances to awakening.
Tell yourself, these are normal reactions and it’s okay.
Don’t worry about it and move on with the practice.
These exercises, for which three or four practice periods are sufficient, involve looking about you and applying the idea for the day to whatever you see, remembering the need for its indiscriminate application, and the essential rule of excluding nothing.
Begin with things that are nearest you, and then extend the range outward:
I do not see that computer as it is now.
I do not see that guitar as it is now.
I do not see that kitty cat as it is now.
Remember, specific exclusion must be avoided. If you find yourself subtly excluding things, that would be another form of resistance.
Everything applies and it’s okay.

Lesson 8
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 8 - My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.
Keys to this Lesson
In this lesson’s idea we are realizing why we are seeing only past.
We are preoccupied with the past.
It may not seem that way, but perhaps if you really think about it, we are preoccupied with the past.
We now start to learn that our thoughts are projected outside of our mind.
We learn that we cannot even grasp what the present is.
The past is not here.
If we are thinking about the past we are thinking about illusions.
Can we touch and see a memory? No, it is just a shadow of something we believe occurred. And even so, our memory is faulty with all the events that happened in any certain situation or experience.
Purpose of Exercise
Training to mind to recognize when it is not thinking.
Truth is blocked when we are thinking meaningless thoughts.
We can imagine our thoughts, our past memories, still we are seeing nada.
For the exercise
Search the mind for a minute
Note thoughts
Name the thoughts with the central figure or theme and continue on.
Practice period begins with:
I seem to be thinking about ____
Then name each of the thoughts:
I seem to be thinking about the ride home today, about the workshop presenter that I met, about the tiredness that I feel.
We end with:
But my mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.
4-5 times today, unless you feel a sense of irritation.
If you feel irritation or any other emotion as you are doing the practice, use the feeling as part of the practice.
I seem to be thinking about how I don’t understand this lesson, about how confusing the Course is, about how other students get this idea faster than me.

Lesson 7
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 7 - I see only the past.
Keys to this Lesson
In this lesson we are seeing the rationale that Jesus has for all the previous lessons.
It leads us to the reason why everything we see has no meaning and that we could not possibly understand it.
Our thoughts are meaningless and we are upset over shadows of the past.
We do not see anything in the present moment as it is because of this.
This is quite a shift that we are making with this lesson.
In the example of the cup though, we can clearly see where Jesus is making his point.
We only know about cups or other things because of what we have experienced.
The cup is a simple yet clear example or how our reactions are all based in the past.
Do this lesson as written yet with curiosity.
As he asks, do we really see what we see?
The practice is 3-4 times today, each lasting only a minute.
No singling out or purposefully excluding objects or people.
I see only the past in this hand.
I see only the past in this...

Lesson 6

Lesson 6 - I am upset because I see something that is not there.
Keys to this Lesson
Same as previous lessons
Name form of upset and perceived source
I am angry at BREAKING MY FAVORITE PIECE OF JEWELRY because I see something that is not there.
I am worried about NOT GETTING THE JOB THAT I INTERVIEWED FOR because I see something that is not there.
Use throughout the day if anything upsets you
3-4 practice periods should be preceded by a 1 min. of mind searching
If resistance is present:
There are no small upsets. They are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind.
AND
I cannot keep this form of upset and let the others go. For the purposes of these exercises, then, I will regard them all as the same.
Once again, not to analyze why the upset is there.
It is to acknowledge that I am upset because there is something behind the upset, but not necessarily WHAT the upset is really about.
We don’t want to jump ahead in what Jesus is teaching us.
This is mind-training and we take it step by step.

Lesson 5
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
LESSON 5 - I am never upset for the reason I think.
Keys to this Lesson
Use with any person, situation or event that is upsetting you
Apply specifically to the seeming cause
Upsets could be: fear, worry, depression, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy and the like
They are not different
Any upset by whatever name is disturbing my peace
Name the form and the believed cause -
I am not angry at "Uncle Joe" for the reason I think.
I am not afraid of "not meeting my bills for the month" for the reason I think.
Do not decide which upsets to use
There are no small upsets - all are equally disturbing
If you find yourself less willing to apply to some rather than others
I cannot keep this form of upset and let the others go. For the purpose of these exercises, then, I will regard them all the same.
Search your mind and identify the different forms regardless of importance -
I am not worried about "my medical test results" for the reason I think.
I am not depressed about "my child going away to college" for the reason I think.
3-4 times today
We are not to analyze the lesson or figure out what we think we are really upset about.
We are to practice the lesson as given.
Stay in the moment with the lesson.
Jesus will give us the rest as we proceed each day.

Lesson 4
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 4 - These thoughts do not mean anything. They are like the things I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place].
Keypoints
Begin with noting thoughts for a minute
Then apply idea with the exercise
Do not only select "bad" thoughts
Training to look at thoughts without judgment
There are no "good" or "bad" thoughts
All thoughts cover our REAL thoughts
Major exercise that will be repeated
Separating the meaningless from the meaningful
Meaningless is outside
Meaningful within
Training mind to see what is same and different
EXERCISE - Identify thought by central figure/event
This thought about "Iowa’s caucuses" does not mean anything. It is like the things I see in this room, on this street, and so on.
This thought about "what I’m going to have for dinner" does not mean anything. It is like the things I see in this room".
This thought about "I’ve already failed in my new year’s resolutions" does not mean anything. It is like the things I see in this room.
This thought about "my daughter" and so on.
Do not become pointlessly preoccupied with thinking about this lesson.
Practice the idea for a minute or so.
May find suspension of judgment difficult
Do not repeat exercise more than 3-4 times today

Have a perfectly open mind
Everything is equal and the same

Lesson 2
ACIM Workbook Keys
with Revs. Deb and Paul Phelps
Lesson 2 - I have given everything I see in this room (On this street, from this window, in this place) all the meaning that it has for me.
Keys
We do the same as the previous lesson, letting your eyes rest on various items and using those for the lesson.
We start close to us, then extend that outward to other objects.
Jesus also has us turn our heads and turn around to see everything that surrounds us.
Remembering to once again not to exclude anything but also don’t feel stressed to include everything.
Keeping everything the same in your mind.
Fairly simple.
So yesterday is Nothing I see means anything and now we have given all the meaning that I we had away. So we take are taking it from different angles.
So no need to look ahead or behind, be in this moment as Jesus has us be. Especially if you have been through the WB before. Stay with this lesson and don’t jump ahead in your mind.

Revs. Deb and Paul give keys to working the Workbook for Students in A Course in Miracles.
Introduction to Workbook
The purpose is mind-training and a shift in our current perceptions.
The exercises are simple and don’t require a lot of time.
Set the priority - Set the commitment.
Use everything and everyone that comes into your mind and life experience for the lessons.
The aim is to extend the ideas that you will be practicing to EVERYTHING.
Keys:
No effort on your part.
WILLINGNESS
RELAX
DO NOT STRESS if you do not do the lesson "perfectly". That is the ego judging.
As you remember, then do the practice.
Don’t be anal. Don’t be flippant.
Be gentle with yourself, and know that this is a loving path that you are embarking on for this year.
W-in.8. Some of the ideas the workbook presents you will find hard to believe, and others may seem to be quite startling. 2 This does not matter. 3 You are merely asked to apply the ideas as you are directed to do. 4 You are not asked to judge them at all. 5 You are asked only to use them. 6 It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and will show you that they are true.
W-in.9. Remember only this; you need not believe the ideas, you need not accept them, and you need not even welcome them. 2 Some of them you may actively resist. 3 None of this will matter, or decrease their efficacy. 4 But do not allow yourself to make exceptions in applying the ideas the workbook contains, and whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them. 5 Nothing more than that is required.
