ACIM Workbook Discussion, Lesson 79 (para 7-10)

The feature originally aired May 28th, 2024.
The opening prayer is based on the following paragraph in Chapter 31:
8. Be very still an instant. ²Come without all thought of what you ever learned before, and put aside all images you made. ³The old will fall away before the new without your opposition or intent. ⁴There will be no attack upon the things you thought were precious and in need of care. ⁵There will be no assault upon your wish to hear a call that never has been made. ⁶Nothing will hurt you in this holy place, to which you come to listen silently and learn the truth of what you really want. ⁷No more than this will you be asked to learn. ⁸But as you hear it, you will understand you need but come away without the thoughts you did not want, and that were never true. (ACIM, T-31.II.8:1-8)
At 25.10 one of the participants asks if the forgiveness exercise that was mentioned could be repeated. Following is the exercise. It is based on the final prayer in Chapter 5 as well as on the Rules for Decision (ACIM, T-30.I). It is predicated on the willingness to be shown a better way.
The acronym is LASDAT and it consists of the following steps:
- Look at the situation that has disturbed your peace of mind.
- Acknowledge the feelings that have come up.
- Stop for a moment engaging with the situation the way you have become used to.
- Drop the emotional charge you have given the situation, even if only for a moment.
- Ask the Holy Spirit for help, ask to see with the eyes of Love.
- Trust that the answer has already been given, for it has. You will receive it when you have made room for it at the time that is best for all involved.

Meeting Guidelines
To foster a safe and positive space, we kindly ask all participants to:

We kindly request that you refrain from questioning the validity of the Course or its documented history as presented by the Foundation for Inner Peace. This includes avoiding conspiracy theories.
3) Share Openly and Respectfully: We welcome your thoughts and perspectives! Disagreements may arise, but let's express them constructively and avoid invalidating others' experiences. Sarcasm, insults, and derogatory remarks have no place here. Let's prioritize open and respectful communication.
4) Welcome the Holy Spirit: As we engage in discussions, we invite the Holy Spirit's guidance to transform our interactions into holy relationships. This allows us to see the Christ within each other, fostering a sense of unity and love.
