Lesson 153 from the workbook of A Course in Miracles
"In my defenseless my safety lies...The world provides no safety...It is rooted in attack, and all its "gifts" of seeming safety are illusory deceptions. It attacks, and then attacks again. No peace of mind is possible where danger threatens thus.
The world gives rise but to defensiveness. For threat brings anger, anger makes attack seem reasonable, honestly provoked, and righteous in the name of self-defence. Yet is defensiveness a double threat. For it attests to weakness, and sets up a system of defence that cannot work....
Defenselessness is strength. It testifies to recognition of the Christ in you...We look past dreams today, and recognize that we need no defence because we are created unassailable...Be still a moment, and in silence think how holy is your purpose, how sure your rest, untouchable within its light. God's ministers have chosen that the truth be with them. Who is holier than they? Who could be surer that his happiness is fully guaranteed? And who could be more mightily protected? What defenses could possibly be needed by the ones who are among the chosen ones of God? " (W153)
