My thoughts* on Manual for Teachers (ACIM) #13 Patience

VIII. Patience

1. Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait, and wait without anxiety.

²Patience is natural to the teacher of God.

³All he sees is certain outcome, at a time perhaps unknown to him as yet, but not in doubt.

* What I see is a time where time is not a concern and where all know Father and walk by His Guidance in Heaven With Him on Earth.

⁴The time will be as right as is the answer.

⁵And this is true for everything that happens now or in the future.

⁶The past as well held no mistakes; nothing that did not serve to benefit the world, as well as him to whom it seemed to happen.

⁷Perhaps it was not understood at the time.

⁸Even so, the teacher of God is willing to reconsider all his past decisions, if they are causing pain to anyone.

* Any decision based on separation from Father is incorrect and painful to the whole Sonship of Christ.

* What may be being spoken of here is that under the direction of Father through SPIRIT they will let go of ideas that formed out of the belief of separation and there are many created over eons of false belief that SPIRIT will help us out of.

⁹Patience is natural to those who trust.

* Trust What or Who? FATHER ALONE.

* Not humankind though it is through humanity that God’s Will and Voice may be heard and witnessed.

* When you see a anything, large or small, you can ask SPIRIT “What is this teaching me?” Music, dance, public speaker, leader, janitor, or the mirror; ask, then listen and you will be told. Maybe not immediately but it will come. It has for me. That goes for nature, seen and unseen as well.

¹⁰Sure of the ultimate interpretation of all things in time, no outcome already seen or yet to come can cause them fear.

(ACIM, M-4.VIII.1:1–10)

My comments are based on what I understand on the 23rd of January 2025.

To Father be ALL Glory and Praise Given AS His Son, debi.
