“I see only the past.”
Today’s lesson offers the example of a cup. You could think of any object though, any situation, people, relationship or organization and the role they play in your experience.
The way you are accustomed to viewing any of them is based on your take on their history and on your take on your interaction with them up till now. Now the question arises: Is that view sufficient to live your life fully in the present moment?
Obviously, it is not.
With this statement the Course is helping you to see the restriction that you have put upon yourself by relating to people and things in terms of imagined history.
