Lesson 8: My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.

Lesson 8: My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.

This is what stands out:

Preoccupied – My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts, that is, pre-set to be occupied with thoughts about the past to keep me from grasping the present, which is the only “time” there really is.

Projection – I am only seeing my thoughts (which is not real thought) projected outward.

Purpose – Mind training.  Jesus is helping us see how we have been sabotaging ourselves by obsessively thinking about the past and the future.  And he is showing us how to search so we can begin to discern between what seems to be and Reality.

The three Ps 🙂
