Lesson, 26 - Revived '16 - I AM: A Course in Miracles - www.IamACIM.Com - a podcast by therapyofthesoul

lesson 26 â??My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability.â?? It is surely obvious that if you can be attacked you are not invulnerable. You see attack as a real threat. That is because you believe that you can really attack. And what would have effects through you must also have effects on you. It is this law that will ultimately save you.

Six practice periods are required in applying todayâ??s idea.A full two minutes should be attempted for each of them, although the time may be reduced to a minute if the discomfort is too great. Do not reduce it further. The practice period should begin with repeating the idea for today, then closing your eyes and reviewing the unresolved situations whose outcomes are causing you concern.The concern may take the form of depression, worry, anger, a sense of imposition, fear, foreboding or preoccupation.
