Lesson 10: My thoughts do not mean anything.
Jesus tells us that What we believe and take for granted as our real thoughts are not real thoughts.
The first nine lessons have been offering a new way of experiencing ourselves, if we are open to it. We began with “the thoughts of which you are aware are meaningless, outside rather than within; and then stressed their past rather than their present status.”
Jesus is trying to get through to us that what we have taken for thoughts “means you are not thinking.” As we get better at recognizing “not thinking” this prepares us for true vision, the Holy Spirit’s way of thinking.
We are to introduce the central theme of today’s lesson by telling ourselves:
This idea will help to release me from all that I now believe.
Then we do the exercise, willing to surrender everything we thought we thought to a new way of thinking.
