We continue today with paragraphs 5-7 of this week’s reading in Lesson 157 – Into His Presence would I enter now.
W-157.5. From this day forth, your ministry takes on a genuine devotion, and a glow that travels from your fingertips to those you touch, and blesses those you look upon. 2 A vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. 3 For your experience today will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the holy Thoughts of God.
W-157.6. Your body will be sanctified today, its only purpose being now to bring the vision of what you experience this day to light the world. 2 We cannot give experience like this directly. 3 Yet it leaves a vision in our eyes which we can offer everyone, that he may come the sooner to the same experience in which the world is quietly forgot, and Heaven is remembered for a while.
W-157.7. As this experience increases and all goals but this become of little worth, the world to which you will return becomes a little closer to the end of time; a little more like Heaven in its ways; a little nearer its deliverance. 2 And you who bring it light will come to see the light more sure; the vision more distinct. 3 The time will come when you will not return in the same form in which you now appear, for you will have no need of it. 4 Yet now it has a purpose, and will serve it well.
A vision of glorious truth today is what I will experience with this lesson. I see beyond the body, beyond the world to the Light of Heaven. And it is what I want. I want this and so each time I practice, the desire increases and I practice more and experience more and more Light. Why would I want to see anyone as anything other than the Light of Truth. It makes for quiet acceptance of family, friends and others. There is no need to change or remodel them to my liking but to accept as they are in Truth.
Namaste,
Rev. Deb Phelps, Senior Minister

Since you’re here… …we have a small favor to ask. More people are reading our posts, listening to our audios and watching our videos than ever before but far fewer are donating for it. As an all-volunteer ministry, you can see why we need to ask for your help. MiraclesOne provides ACIM resources freely however it takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe in encouraging others to practically apply the Course principles in their lives – because it might just make the one difference in your life. If everyone who reads, listens or watches and likes what we offer helps to pay for it we can continue to afford our expenses and keep our resources FREE to all ACIM Students. Monthly Donors receive free gifts in appreciation for their support.
