My thoughts* on ACIM Workbook Lesson 265, September 23, 2025.

Creation’s gentleness is all I see.

* (GOD’S) Creation’s gentleness is all I see (AS REAL).

* Isn’t that a beautiful concept? Because I do see all four kingdoms here in Heaven based on what amount of light they want to allow in their lives.

1. I have indeed misunderstood the world, because I laid my sins on it and saw them looking back at me.

²How fierce they seemed!

³And how deceived was I to think that what I feared was in the world, instead of in my mind alone.

* You could say that sins are Christ’s fears manifested in a nightmare from which He will awaken.

⁴Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which creation shines.

* Note the term “celestial.”

* Merriam-Webster Dictionary says, 1: of, relating to, or suggesting heaven or divinity

celestial beings 2 : of or relating to the sky or visible heavens the sun, moon, and stars are celestial bodies 3 a: ethereal, otherworldly celestial music b : olympian, supreme the celestial impudence of the boy — Leonard Bacon 4 capitalized [Celestial Empire, old name for China] : of or relating to China or the Chinese 5 : eminently pleasing : delightful, heavenly

* Jesus uses it to mean with or of Heavenly Father. In His presence or by His Will.

⁵There is no fear in it.

⁶Let no appearance of my sins obscure the light of Heaven shining on the world.

⁷What is reflected there is in God’s Mind.

⁸The images I see reflect my thoughts.

⁹Yet is my mind at one with God’s.

¹⁰And so I can perceive creation’s gentleness.

2. In quiet would I look upon the world, which but reflects Your Thoughts, and mine as well.

²Let me remember that they are the same, and I will see creation’s gentleness.

* Here is the key to grasping the peace within that cannot be altered. Here is where HEAVEN on Earth exists in knowing GOD and forgiving the original error that led to belief in separation.

* There is a oneness in Heaven, noted by the use of “wholly” in the words of Jesus.

* The term “holy” suggests separation or the ability to be below or above, and this is language that is separating and causes division.

* It has been slathered over the teachings of Jesus, nearly obliterating the truth that he spoke and continues to speak today.

* THIS is the ONLY mindset of TRUE Peace in the World because it acknowledges Father.
