Lesson 52: covers Lessons 6 – 10
Review of Lesson 6: I am upset because I see what is not there. I have reversed reality and illusion and this confusion is terribly upsetting. Thank God “Nothing in God’s creation is affected in any way by this confusion of mine.” Therefore, “I am always upset by nothing.”
Lesson 7: I see only the past. I call condemnation seeing. Thank God, “When I have forgiven myself and remembered Who I am, I will bless everyone and everything I see. … I will look with love on all that I failed to see before.”
Lesson 8: My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts. “Let me remember that I look on the past to prevent the present from dawning on my mind. Let me understand that I am trying to use time against God. Let me learn to give the past away, realizing that in so doing I am giving up nothing.” This review lesson is the most striking for me. This is the one to focus on. I read the next two, but know that “My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts” is the central point for me today.
Lesson 9: I see nothing as it is now. I see only what is not there — that is how my mind keeps rephrasing this lesson title.
Lesson 10: My thoughts do not mean anything. Private thoughts are simply ego thoughts: separate, divided and divisive. Judgmental. Dualistic. Not salacious nor curiosity-provoking. Just nothing but conflictual.
