Five ideas for review:
1) Nothing I see means anything.
2) I have given what I see all the meaning it has for me.
3) I do not understand anything I see.
4) These thoughts do not mean anything.
5) I am never upset for the reason I think.
Today’s review aims at awakening an understanding in you of the illusory character of the habitual processes people call seeing and thinking.
The Course often awards a different meaning to the words “seeing” and “thinking”, different from the meanings the world gives them. When the Course uses the words “seeing” and “thinking”, they frequently mean “inspired seeing and inspired thinking”: seeing and thinking with God, inspired by Love, Joy, Beauty, Freedom and Truth.
The Course identifies anything that is happening that seems out of harmony with Love and Light as delusional, hallucinatory. Your continued attention to illusions only serves to confirm and prolong their impact in your experience.
