ACIM Speaks on The Script of the Holy Spirit
ACIM Speaks on The Script of the Holy Spirit
This is Episode 23 of ACIM Speaks podcast. We continue with "the scripts" discussion and read from Workbook Lesson 169 in A Course in Miracles. The previous episode in the series covered "possession, the script of the ego," the extension of the idea that a script outside yourself controls your life; "what has been given you;" and the "script you write." Now, the final clarification on what is given us, the grace that we can bring back to the world.
By grace I give. By grace I will be released.
Amen
In the previous episode, there was something mentioned that is worth mentioning again. If you go back and listen to that episode, you will notice the words reliability and validity. In the context of the podcast, these could be heard as an inside joke, although, if you have been listening to the ACIM Speaks podcast from the beginning, or are aware of the history of the Course, you would know what it is about. Helen and Bill, the scribes of A Course in Miracles were psychologists and part of their jobs was in research and data collection in this field. The words reliability and validity were common to them. Reliability, as used in the Course, means something that the ego does over and over again and produces the same illusion to protect itself from the truth about you. And validity means what is True, the truth about you. It is a good idea to keep that in mind. The passage containing these words was about the compulsions, addictions, and other "driven" behaviors that we adopt. They are not What We Are.
the world cannot be saved.

ACIM Speaks Podcast- Thanksgiving Grace 2009
A reading of a passage from the text of A Course in Miracles suitable for use as Thanksgiving Grace.
Wanting no messages but theirs,
you will see fear no more.
The world will be transformed before your sight,
cleansed of all guilt and softly brushed with beauty.
The world contains no fear that You laid not upon it.
And none you cannot ask love's messengers
to Remove from it and see it still.
The Holy Spirit has given you HIS messengers
to send each other,
and return to each with what love sees.
They have been given to Replace
the hungry dogs of fear you sent instead.
And they go forth to signify the end of fear.
Love, too, would set a feast before you,
on a table covered with a spotless cloth,
set in a quiet garden,
where no sound but singing
and a softly joyous whispering is ever heard.
This is a feast which honors your holy relationship,
and at which everyone is welcomed
as an honored guest.
And, in an instant,
grace is said by everyone together as they join in gentleness
before the table of communion.
And I will join you there,
as long ago I promised,
and promise still.
For in your new relationship
am I made welcome,
and where I am made welcome, there I AM.
