Lesson 6

I am upset because I see something that is not there. ~ Lesson 6, ACIM

When we feel super activated in the now, it’s typically because we have touched upon an old feeling that left a strong impression.

We then pull that ghost from the past into the present and attribute those feelings to the now thing as if it’s fresh and new.

It’s not.

It’s the brain’s attempt to categorize and make sense to gauge threat.

Basically, it’s your brain’s attempt to keep the body safe from harm and you alive.

Most of what occurs now doesn’t carry the same potential harm our pre-modern ancestors would’ve had to navigate which often threatened their very survival.

Compounded by the fact we now live in a time where responsibility and blame are outsourced right along with our power and sovereignty.

When we give this away, we forget who we are.

And how truly magnificent we are and wholly capable of navigating anything and everything as it arises.

If we recognized our connection to God and All That Is, there’d be no threat.

We’d know our safety is sourced here and now, through us and the ghosts would disappear completely.

They’d serve no function and the activation would cease and disappear again into the no thing it actually is.
