I am in charge of the process of Atonement, which I undertook to begin. ²When you offer a miracle to any of my brothers, you do it to yourself and me. (ACIM, T-1.III.1:1-2)
Atonement, eto yung “pagbabalik-loob” natin sa Diyos – at-one-ment. Yan yung pagbabalik sa ating awareness o kaisipan na hindi naman talaga tayo nawalay sa Diyos.
Sabi ni Jesus, pag inoffer daw natin yung miracle kahit kanino, ginagawa natin yung miracle for all of us. Remember from our last lesson, the giver and the receiver are equal.
Bakit equal? Kasi the giver and the receiver ay iisa lang actually. We are one in Christ.
⁷The power to work miracles belongs to you. ⁸I will provide the opportunities to do them, but you must be ready and willing. (ACIM, T-1.III.1:7-8)
Para mag-work yung miracles, dapat willing tayong gawin yung part natin. Aaralin natin yung mga tinuturo sa course, at higit na importante ay maapply natin yung mga lessons sa lahat ng pagkakataon.
³You are the work of God, and His work is wholly lovable and wholly loving. ⁴This is how a man must think of himself in his heart, because this is what he is. (ACIM, T-1.III.2:3-4)
Nilikha tayo ng Diyos sa pagmamahal kaya dapat ganun rin ang pagtingin natin sa ating sarili – tulad ng pagtingin ng Diyos sa atin.
Eto ang basehan ng self-love. Dahil ikaw ay love.
²Only the error is actually vulnerable. ³You are free to establish your kingdom where you see fit, but the right choice is inevitable if you remember this:
⁴Spirit is in a state of grace forever.
⁵Your reality is only spirit.
⁶Therefore you are in a state of grace forever. (ACIM, T-1.III.5:2-6)
Error is vulnerable. At pag vulnerable, natatakot tayo. Yun ang clue pag may error sa isipan natin, nakakaramdam tayo ng fear.
Yun rin ang sign for change – change of mind. Pag nakorek natin yung error, pag naitama natin ang pag-iisip natin, ang nararamdaman naman natin ay peace. Kasi truth is invulnerable.
Yun ang ibig sabihin ng “peace of mind,” kapag aligned yung pag-iisip natin sa truth.
At ano yung truth na tinuturo ng course? “Your reality is ONLY spirit,” naniniwala ka man sa forever o hindi.
Kaya ‘di ba ang sabi ni Jesus: you are in this world but not of it. Kasi you are of spirit.
You respond to what you perceive, and as you perceive so shall you behave. ⁵You cannot behave appropriately unless you perceive correctly. (ACIM, T-1.III.6:1;5)
Ganito kahalaga yung miracle, ang shift in perception. Kasi nakadepende sa perception mo kung paano ka magre-respond sa buhay.
Kung error ang basehan ng perception, error rin ang magiging behavior.
Kung gusto nating baguhin ang maling behavior, kailangang itama muna natin ang ating maling perception.
Miracles arise from a mind that is ready for them. (ACIM, T-1.III.7:1)
Paano tayo magiging ready? Kailangang malaman muna natin yung error para makorek natin.
Miracles are selective only in the sense that they are directed towards those who can use them for themselves. (ACIM, T-1.III.9:1)
“Use them for themselves,” hindi for others. Hindi natin concern kung ano ang epekto ng miracles sa iba.
Just do your part. Ikorek mo lang yung sarili mong errors at hindi yung sa ibang tao.
Kaya sabi ni Jesus, “get the beam of timber out of your own eye.”
Alisin muna natin yung error sa paningin natin. Pag wala na yung error sa paningin natin, hindi na rin natin makikita yung error sa iba.
