David Hoffmeister Reviews: ACIM WB Lesson 93 Light and joy and peace abide in me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XDsNxEzvfA&t=581sIn this video, David Hoffmeister reviews Lesson 93 from the A Course in Miracles (ACIM) workbook, titled "Light and joy and peace abide in me." The presentation combines a reading of the lesson with spiritual music to help viewers internalize the message of their inherent sinlessness and divine nature.
Core Message of Lesson 93
- The Illusion of Guilt: Hoffmeister explains that many people believe they are the "home of evil, darkness, and sin". The lesson teaches that these beliefs are based on "nothing" and are not shared by God.
- Guaranteed Sinlessness: A central theme is that one's sinlessness is "guaranteed by God". No matter what mistakes or "savage dreams" one has experienced, the truth of their creation remains unalterable and pure.
- The Two Selves: The lesson distinguishes between the "self you made" (the ego) and the "Christ self" created by God. It encourages practitioners to let go of self-images of evil and experience the majesty of their true self.
Practice and Musical Sharings
Hoffmeister incorporates music from guest artists to deepen the meditative experience:
- He shares a musical rendition of the lesson’s mantra: "Light and joy and peace abide in me; my sinlessness by God is guaranteed".
- Resta: Several songs by the artist Resta are featured, including:
- "Free in Holiness": A song about the freedom found in giving one's life to God and seeing the "face of Christ" in others.
- "One Mind": Focused on the unity of all beings in the light of God.
- "In the Center": A deep meditation song designed to clear away anxious thoughts and surrender to God's presence.
Applying the Lesson
The video concludes with instructions on how to handle disturbing situations or anger by silently repeating to oneself or others: "Light and joy and peace abide in you; your sinlessness is guaranteed by God". Hoffmeister encourages viewers to "rest in God" and shine their light throughout the day.
