Does God see bad things?

A Course in Miracles, Lesson 30

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.

God is in everything I see because God is in my mind. (ACIM, W-30)

So, “My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts” (ACIM, W-8) but also “God is in my mind.”

The mind is the place of choice, the choice of what you choose to see. You can see, in everything around you, reminders of past thoughts, Or, you can see things from the lens of God.

If God is goodness and love, God never feels fearful, poor, stupid, ugly, sick, weak, obligated, conflicted, angry or sad. That’s a short list; there are lots of things that go along with “feeling bad” that God never is.

The world God sees doesn’t make God feel bad.

And, God is in my mind, which means God is in me. There’s a part of my mind that never makes me feel bad, and that’s the place from which we have real vision.

At least, that’s the conclusion I’m making.
