Lesson 53: covers Lessons 11 – 15
Today we review Lesson 11: My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world. Thank God, “I have real thoughts as well as insane ones. I can therefore see a real world, if I look to my real thoughts as my guide for seeing.”
Lesson 12: I am upset because I see a meaningless world. Thank God the Holy Spirit offers me the possibility to “…not choose to value what is totally insane and has no meaning.” Jesus offers us a better way, over and over again, “This lesson the Holy Spirit teaches by giving you the shining examples of miracles to show you that your way of ordering [your thoughts] is wrong, but that a better way is offered you.” T-14.X.6:2
Lesson 13: A meaningless world engenders fear. “Now I choose to withdraw this belief, and place my trust in reality.”
Lesson 14: God did not create a meaningless world. Crucially, “Let me remember the power of my decision, and recognize where I really abide.”
Lesson 15: My thoughts are images that I have made. “The fact that I see a world in which there is suffering and loss and death shows me that I am seeing only the representation of my insane thoughts, and am not allowing my real thoughts to cast their beneficent light on what I see. God’s way is sure. The images I have made cannot prevail against Him.”
