One of my teachers suggests, "You are the meaning maker of your life."
What we usually do, however, is to get caught up in the drama of a situation, and once we are caught, we lose the conscious "meaning maker" and in our fearful closed state of mind, make a decision about what this situation means---and, of course, the meaning is fearful and judgmental.
Not only do we have the process backwards---letting the situation itself tell us what it means, but we have lost focus of the first lessons of ACIM which remind us, "I don't know what anything means."
I don't know because the mind can only put limited meaning, AND ANYTHING OTHER THAN LOVE IS MEANINGLESS.
When am I going to get that one?
to quote:18The time has come to look and to release from the mind that which is in the mind that teaches only fear.
