ACIM Lesson 217


I am not a body. I am free.

For I am still as God created me.

(197) It can be but my gratitude I earn.

Who should give thanks for my salvation but myself? And how but through salvation can I find the Self to Whom my thanks are due?

I am not a body. I am free.

For I am still as God created me.


A Listening Practice

Before entering the silence, you may find it helpful to spend a few moments with Threshold to Meditation. It was created simply as a gentle doorway into the fifteen-minute meditation that follows.

When the music ends, remain in stillness with today's lesson.

If, afterward, you feel drawn to linger with Lesson 217, you'll find the original chant and devotional song below.
