Lesson 092: ”Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.”

AI Reframe: Clear perception and inner strength arise together.

Suggested Exercise:
Two twenty-minute practices today. One in the morning. One in the evening. Spend it connecting your self with your Self. “⁴Leave, then, the dark a little while today, and we will practice seeing in the light, closing the body’s eyes and asking truth to show us how to find the meeting place of self and Self, where light and strength are one.” (ACIM, W-92.10:4)

Repeat the idea throughout the day as often as you can. Remembering that we’re being led “from darkness to the light where only miracles can be perceived.”

Message

On some level—conscious or otherwise—we all know the following to be true:

When we disconnect from our True Source—our light—we feel weak and fearful. When we connect, we feel strong and empowered.

Here’s how the lesson defines weakness and strength:

”Weakness, which looks in darkness, cannot see a purpose in forgiveness and in love. ²It sees all others different from itself, and nothing in the world that it would share. ³It judges and condemns, but does not love. ⁴In darkness it remains to hide itself, and dreams that it is strong and conquering, a victor over limitations that but grow in darkness to enormous size.”

“It fears and it attacks and hates itself, and darkness covers everything it sees, leaving its dreams as fearful as itself. ²No miracles are here, but only hate. ³It separates itself from what it sees.” (ACIM, W-92.7:1-3)

”Strength comes from truth, and shines with light its Source has given it; weakness reflects the darkness of its maker. ²It is sick and looks on sickness, which is like itself. ³Truth is a savior and can only will for happiness and peace for everyone. ⁴It gives its strength to everyone who asks, in limitless supply. ⁵It sees that lack in anyone would be a lack in all. ⁶And so it gives its light that all may see and benefit as one. ⁷Its strength is shared, that it may bring to all the miracle in which they will unite in purpose and forgiveness and in love.” (ACIM, W-92.5:1-7)

“The strength in you will offer you the light, and guide your seeing so you do not dwell on idle shadows that the body’s eyes provide for self-deception.” Therein lies the miracle.

Throughout the Course we’re told we are not our bodies. The ego uses the body to support the belief that we are all separate. But in my experience, the body can also be a valuable tool: a truth detector. It recognizes when we are in darkness or light, weak or strong.

We’ve all experienced this with some awareness, without necessarily knowing what it means. For example, my body goes into major goosebumps when I hear truth—out loud or within. Sometimes I feel a buzzing at the top of my head. Other times my upper chest rises and expands. I may hear a deep inner voice say “Yes.” In any case, I feel light, strong, and empowered, motivated to act.

In darkness, my body feels heavy, flat. Sometimes it feels like it’s closing in on itself, wanting to go into the fetal position. Instead of my chest expanding, it sinks down and inward. I sometimes sense shades of grey. I feel a desperate need to run and hide.

As part of today’s practice, notice how your body reacts to everything you do. How does your body react to fear? How does it react to truth? Which one feels weak? Which one feels strong?

“Today, I’m grateful that as I give up the “hologram” I see with my eyes, I begin to see the radiance, the brilliance, and the love that shows up in light.”
