9. “It would indeed be strange if you were asked to go beyond all symbols of the world, forgetting them forever; yet were asked to take a teaching function. ²You have need to use the symbols of the world a while. ³But be you not deceived by them as well. ⁴They do not stand for anything at all, and in your practicing it is this thought that will release you from them. ⁵They become but means by which you can communicate in ways the world can understand, but which you recognize is not the unity where true communication can be found.
10. Thus what you need are intervals each day in which the learning of the world becomes a transitory phase; a prison house from which you go into the sunlight and forget the darkness. ²Here you understand the Word, the Name which God has given you; the one Identity which all things share; the one acknowledgment of what is true. ³And then step back to darkness, not because you think it real, but only to proclaim its unreality in terms which still have meaning in the world that darkness rules.” (ACIM, W-184.9:1–10:3)

Caller Sunni, how might a person represent themself when someone is coming at them? Recognize if someone is ‘coming at you’ there is always the right/need to protect yourself and get out. However, notice you are a participant and part of you is involved in attracting ‘it’ into your space, your work to do. In the scripture, Job (good and upright) loses everything and he’s trying to understand, then he gets the insight ‘that which I feared most has come on me, what I dreaded most has come upon me.’ He struggles to make up for it. When he acknowledges his part, removes the part asking the universe to fulfill his request, and lets go, then everything is restored to him. “Lesson 153: In my defenselessness my safety lies. (ACIM, W-153)

Do we assert to address someone coming at you? Example ‘these are my limitations’ – michael said first order of business is to maintain our human lives (love) if I allow hostility or fear to rise to the occasion then I give up my life to respond. Does not mean lay down and get walked on. I can respond clearly and powerfully from Love but if I flip into hostility or fear then I’ve given up the most precious thing – Love, my Being. And it will show up in physiology as dis-ease.
