STAY ALERT …
DON’T TOLERATE MIND-WANDERING
□■□■□■□■□■□■

“… why don’t you do what the Course suggests in the Manual? As soon as it’s possible, spend some quiet time with God. Then remembering Who you are, bring your peace with you. After that, be determined to stay alert. You know the ego is going to try to upset you and make you think you’re a body. That’s why the Course counsels you about being vigilant and not being so tolerant of mind wandering. All you’ve got to do is focus and use a little more discipline. The funny thing is, you can do it. I think you know from experience that you can do it. In fact, you do it a lot. That’s why your ego feels threatened. The ego is ingenious, and as you’ve seen for yourself, it will come up with remarkable ways to trick you. All you have to do is be a little more ready to respond ahead of time. Once you’re in that state of mind you’ll have it made. You can handle the news, and you can handle anything else that comes up.” ACIM
