Lesson 157: ”Into His Presence would I enter now.”

AI Reframe: I open to the presence of clarity and peace now.

Suggested Practice:
Five-fifteen minutes, morning and evening, sit with today’s idea:

Into His Presence Would I Enter Now.

From the Lesson:

“Into Christ’s* Presence will we enter now, serenely unaware of everything except His shining face and perfect Love. ²The vision of His face** will stay with you, but there will be an instant which transcends all vision, even this, the holiest. ³This you will never teach, for you attained it not through learning. ⁴Yet the vision speaks of your rememberance of what you knew that instant, and will surely know again.” (ACIM, W-157.9:1-4)

*Christ=Infinite Principle of Pure Love

**Vision of His Face: It doesn’t have to be a literal face. It could be something completely different, or non-visual, like a sound or a feeling. Focus on having the experience of being in this Presence and allow it to come to you however It appears.

Message

I admit I had some resistance to this lesson. My ego-mind immediately jumped to thoughts like, “What if this doesn’t work?” “What if I don’t see anything?” “Do I really want to see His face?” I had real doubts about the practice. But because I’m committed to doing the workbook lessons, I needed to focus on that rather than the ego’s objections.

So when I finally became willing to do the practice, I did so with an open mind—open to however the “vision of His face” might show up. I usually receive visual cues, but today it was a feeling. My entire body buzzed with energy, goosebumps from head to toe. It’s the same feeling I get when I sense Truth in something I’ve just done, heard, seen, or thought. It proved I didn’t need to see anything. Feeling it was more significant.

Today’s practice confirms what I understand to be true for me: when I experience Truth, I am in the Presence of God and all that that represents. It’s my guide, my direction, my next step.

I’m curious—what showed up for you when you did this practice? Feel free to share in the comments—whether visual, physical, or something else.
