Lesson 17
In this lesson, I see that I am unaware of any thought that is true and any thought that would make me happy. I think I think happy thoughts. I think I think true thoughts. How can I know for sure when my thoughts always relate a judgment of some sort? I have decided what A or B means so how the hell do I know? What’s so special about the way I see things?
How about within our practice today and I think no accident, “I do not see a neutral wall, because my thoughts about walls are not neutral.” If you are here in the United States at this day and time of the politics of 2019, then you can see how your thoughts may not be neutral about a wall.
The same goes with my throat. I do not see my throat as neutral since it is still hoarse. I have perceptions on that fact. I had to cancel a meditation class last night because of it. What goes on within my mind about that? (I did still record the Living the Lessons podcast episode for today albeit not the most beautiful sounding voice but it helps me to see this lesson.)
Within I carry still the guilt of the seeming separation from God so until that is healed I will see all things from a skewed perception. As I awaken and heal my mind, I will see that what I see always begins in my mind. Time to align my mind with God.
Namaste,
Rev. Deb

Since you’re here… …we have a small favor to ask. More people are reading our posts, listening to our audios and watching our videos than ever before but far fewer are donating for it. As an all-volunteer ministry, you can see why we need to ask for your help. MiraclesOne provides ACIM resources freely however it takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe in encouraging others to practically apply the Course principles in their lives – because it might just make the one difference in your life. If everyone who reads, listens or watches and likes what we offer helps to pay for it we can continue to afford our expenses and keep our resources FREE to all ACIM Students. Monthly Donors receive free gifts in appreciation for their support.
