Lesson 51: covers Lessons 1 – 5
Central ideas (see Jesus commentaries within lesson):
Nothing I see means anything. I have given what I see all the meaning it has for me. I do not understand anything I see. These thoughts do not mean anything. I am never upset for the reason I think.
I feel like a blackboard being wiped clean (in my day we had blackboards, not whiteboards).
Nothing I see means anything. What I think I see now is taking the place of vision. If I let go of what I see now, by realizing it has no meaning, vision will take the place of not-really-seeing.
I have given what I see all the meaning it has for me. I am willing to recognize the lack of validity in my judgments, because I want to see.
I do not understand anything I see. What I see is the projection of my own errors of thought. This review is standing out for me. I can tell by a reverberation from above my solar plexus to my throat. This is the one for me.
These thoughts do not mean anything. My real thoughts are the thoughts I think with God. This feels right and true. This one resonates with me also.
I am never upset for the reason I think. I am constantly trying to justify my thoughts, my anger, my attacks. I have done this to defend a thought system that has hurt me, and that I no longer want. I am willing to let it go. What I have called “my” thoughts are the same as “my” seeing … both obscure and veil True Thought and True Vision. There needs to be a “stopping” of “doing” … stop hallucinating, stop imagining, stop thinking private thoughts.
