Commentary on A Course in Miracles, Lesson 27

Nothing but good.

Welcome to Daily Miracles, a running commentary on the 365 lessons of A Course in Miracles, an influential spiritual text from the 1970s. I am James Leroy Wilson and I invite you to join me as I go through this material for the first time.

Above all else I want to see. (ACIM, W-27)

Lesson 20 says “I am determined to see”. (ACIM, W-20) and lesson 21 says “I am determined to see things differently.” (ACIM, W-21)

The gist of the Course so far is that much of what we seem to see makes us fearful, angry, or sad. Makes us feel bad. But the Course is also telling us that what we seem to see isn’t really real.

Maybe the Course isn’t teaching us to see “something good in” or “the good” in other people or things, but that everything is always good. Everyone is always good. All is well.

And when we’re not seeing that, we’re not really seeing.

If I see nothing but good, then yes, above all else I want to see.
