ACIM Lesson 6 2025

I am upset because I see something that is not there.

I had a moment of panic when I started my washing machine, and it didn’t seem like water was flowing. I turned it off quickly in case my pipes froze last night. After the house warmed up sufficiently, I cautiously tried again, and the water flowed freely. I seemed to have panicked because maybe a line had burst. But I panicked because I saw something that was not there.

I was feeling regret that I may have said something that hurt a friend’s feelings. But I was regretful because I saw something that was not there.
If I gave up the tendency to panic or feel regret at the thought of everything but these, I would still not be free. To be free of illusions so that we can know Reality, we must let go of them all. Otherwise, we are still lost in our imagination.
