Lesson 31 I am not the victim of the world I see. Today’s idea is the introduction to your declaration of release. Again, the     idea should be applied to both the world you see without and the world you     see within. In applying the idea, we will use a form of practice which will     be…

Lesson 30 God is in everything I see because God is     in my mind. The idea for today is the springboard for vision. From this idea will the     world open up before you, and you will look upon it and see in it what you     have never seen before. Nor will what you saw before…

Lesson 29 God is in everything I see. The idea for today explains why you can see all purpose in everything. It     explains why nothing is separate, by itself or in itself. And it explains     why nothing you see means anything. In fact, it explains every idea we have     used thus far, and all subsequent…

Lesson 28 Above all else I want to see things differently. Today we are really giving specific application to the idea for yesterday.     In these practice periods, you will be making a series of definite commitments.     The question of whether you will keep them in the future is not our concern     here. If you are…

Lesson 27 Above all else I want to see. Today’s idea expresses something stronger than mere determination. It gives     vision priority among your desires. You may feel hesitant about using the     idea, on the grounds that you are not sure you really mean it. This does     not matter. The purpose of today’s exercises is to…

Lesson 26 My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability. It is surely obvious that if you can be attacked you are not invulnerable.     You see attack as a real threat. That is because you believe that you can     really attack. And what would have effects through you must also have effects     on you. It is…

Lesson 25 I do not know what anything is for. Purpose is meaning. Today’s idea explains why nothing you see means anything.     You do not know what it is for. Therefore, it is meaningless to you. Everything     is for your own best interests. That is what it is for; that is its purpose;     that is…

Lesson 24   I do not perceive my own best interests. In no situation that arises do you realize the outcome that would make you     happy. Therefore, you have no guide to appropriate action, and no way of     judging the result. What you do is determined by your perception of the     situation, and that perception…

Chapter 2 III. The Altar of God The Atonement can only be accepted within you by releasing the inner light. Since the separation, defenses have been used almost entirely to defend against the Atonement, and thus maintain the separation. This is generally seen as a need to protect the body. The many body fantasies in…

I. The Origins of Separation To extend is a fundamental aspect of God which He gave to His Son. In the creation, God extended Himself to His creations and imbued them with the same loving Will to create. You have not only been fully created, but have also been created perfect. There is no emptiness…
