My thoughts* on ACIM Urtext Lesson 157, for June 5, 2024. Into His Presence would I enter now.

Into His Presence would I enter now.

* I have to admit that it is really difficult being in His Presence and being with those who do not accept this as yet.

1. This is a day of silence and of trust.

²It is a special time of promise in your calendar of days.

³It is a time Heaven has set apart to shine upon, and cast a timeless light upon this day, when echoes of eternity are heard.

⁴This day is holy, for it ushers in a new experience; a different kind of feeling and awareness.

⁵You have spent long days and nights in celebrating death.

⁶Today you learn to feel the joy of life.

2. This is another crucial turning point in the curriculum.

* I can only wish that the past 50 years had been spent knowing it was talking about the Atonement. Imagine where we would be. But, better late than never. Thankfully, never is an impossibility, even if it takes us millions of years for us each to come to this understanding.

²We add a new dimension now; a fresh experience that sheds a light on all that we have learned already, and prepares us for what we have yet to learn.

³It brings us to the door where learning ceases, and we catch a glimpse of what lies past the highest reaches it can possibly attain.
