Giant Strides, Week 5 of 11, ACIM Lesson 108, To give and to receive are one in truth. 2/3/24

🌟Theme🌟
A major learning goal this course has set is to reverse your view of giving, so you can receive. ⁴For giving has become a source of fear, and so you would avoid the only means by which you can receive.

🌟(A unified state of mind is truly giving because everyone is included in its love. )

🌟Let’s get clear about irreconcilable opposites…

🌟Let’s get clear about opposites that aren’t really opposite….
The ego does not understand how to teach through genuine contrast and makes the mistake of seeing differences where there is none. Example:
108. To give and to receive are one in truth.
"Vision depends upon today’s idea. ²The light is in it, for it reconciles all seeming opposites." [CE [W-108:1]...
