May 19th 2014 Lesson 20
I am determined to see.
Today's lesson is our first attempt to introduce structure in our practicing. We want peace but it requires that we develop the ability to distinguish between joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, love and fear. We want to see things as they truly are, without the make-believe meanings we have placed upon them. This is the reversal of thinking that is the goal of our practicing.- Intention: Throughout the day, remind yourself that you want to see by repeating today's idea. You are stating that you are determined to change your present state for a better one, and one you really want.
- Practice: Repeat today's idea slowly and positively at least twice an hour today, attempting to do so every half hour. Do not be distressed if you forget to do so, but make a real effort to remember.
- Application: Extra repetitions should be applied to any situation, person or event that upsets you. You can see them differently, and you will. Yet your seeing will be limited if you regard yourself as being coerced, or give in to resentment and opposition to the exercises.
Insights/comments:
- The idea is a first step in exercising the power of our will in changing our perception as we wish. Our determination to see will change what we perceive, validating the truth that we see according to what we think and believe.
I and my Creator are One.
