It does seem odd to me that what I perceive is the result of what I seem to think. I guess this means that my reactions to things don’t depend on my senses at all. It’s an invitation to me to listen within more than listening, smelling, tasting, and touching without. This doesn’t mean that I cut myself off from my environment; it just means that I seek my true thoughts and allow them to show me the world in a different way.
Helpful sentences: It is always the thought that comes first, despite the temptation to believe that it is the other way around. Regardless of what you may believe, you do not see anything that is really alive or really joyous. That is because you are unaware as yet of any thought that is really true, and therefore really happy.
Blessings,
Mari

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.
