"Nothing I see means anything."
"I have given what I see all the meaning it has for me."
"I do not understand anything I see."
"These thoughts do not mean anything."
"I am never upset for the reason I think."
Letting go of our judgmental thought system makes room for a true understanding of life based on truth, love and trust.
"I am upset because I see what is not there."
"I see only the past."
"My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts."
"I see nothing as it is now."
"My thoughts do not mean anything."
We create our psychological reality based on past pain. The thread between these five lessons teaches that the reality we create from our past pain is not the true objective reality.
"My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world."
"I am upset because I see a meaningless world."
"A meaningless world engenders fear."
"Creator did not create a meaningless world."
"My thoughts are images that I have made."
These five lessons speak about our power to choose where we place our attention, even as it seems as though our negative thoughts run all on their own.
"I have no neutral thoughts."
"I see no neutral things."
"I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing."
"I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts."
"I am determined to see."
No thought is benign. Every thought we think has impact, and its effects continue to exist in the fabric of Creation.
"I am determined to see things differently."
"What I see is a form of vengeance."
"I can escape from this world by giving up attack thoughts."
"I do not perceive my own best interests."
"I do not know what anything is for.
We can go beyond our old hurt by becoming determined to see life with fresh awe.
"My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability."
"Above all else I want to see."
"Above all else I want to see differently."
"Creator is in everything I see."
"Creator is in everything I see because Creator is in my mind."
When we are determined to see love underlying all that happens, Love gladly communicates through helpful signs, symbols and metaphors, affirming that everything is evolving towards a greater good.
"I am not the victim of the world I see."
"I have invented the world I see."
"There is another way of looking at the world."
"I could see peace instead of this."
"My mind is part of Creator's. I am very holy."
The aim of these lessons is not to "spiritualize over" our very real human struggles, but rather to build towards a conscious and determined shift into a more loving field of attention.
"My holiness envelops everything I see."
"My holiness blesses the world."
"There is nothing my holiness cannot do."
"My holiness is my salvation."
"I am blessed as a Child of Creator's."
When we feel at peace within, everything in our outer world feels friendly. At such times our outer world feels safe, luminous and magical.
"Creator is the Love in which I forgive."
"Creator is the strength in which I trust."
"There is nothing to fear."
"Creator's Voice speaks to me all through the day."
"I am sustained by the Love of my Creator."
There comes a time when we must surrender our hurt, and forgive all mistakes if we want to become friendly with life and everyone in it. The Course says, "We see no strangers, only dearly loved and loving friends."
