LESSON ELEVEN

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: The Course text is in bold face. The Guidance is in normal type In His Guidance, He has asked Me to capitalize the pronouns You and We as an acknowledgement of the Divinity of All of Us, an acknowledgement of Equality, an expression of His Love and respect for You. When You see the word ‘YOU’ capitalized in the Guidance, know that He is not just speaking to YOU, He is honoring YOU.

My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world.

Every thought I have is but divisive, for it mimics that first separation. Thoughts re-create that unholy instant.  So much seeming pain and suffering caused by that which has never really happened.  What insanity to suffer so for unreality.  So like the ego.  For it keeps You bound and prisoner for a ‘crime’ uncommitted.

¹ This is the first idea we have had which is related to a major phase of the correction process-the reversal of the thinking of the world. It seems as if the world determines what you perceive.

It’s not going on ‘out there’ somewhere; it’s going on ‘in here.’ That is both the ‘good news’ and the ‘bad news’!  ‘Good’ because it means You are not at the mercy of a world that’s quite insane.  ‘Bad’ because there’s no-one else out there to blame!

The need for self-discipline becomes quite obvious to You, for it but rests upon the use to which You put Your mind.  Shall it be to please Your ‘self’ – a.k.a. the ego – or will it be to let YourSelf be in sync with God?

To be in harmony with God is but to allow Yourself to be in harmony with Life and Love.  You remember that I said: As My Father moves, so I move.  This is still Truth.  Two thousand years gone by do not affect it.

I stay as Reality, as I walk the dream, no matter where it takes Me.  Thus crucifixion becomes Resurrection.  This is the Gift the Lessons offer You today – each and every day – if You will but to accept It.  It stands waiting for You to receive It.

Today’s idea introduces the concept that your thoughts determine the world you see. Be glad indeed to practice the idea in this initial form, for in this idea is your release made sure. The key to forgiveness lies in it.

For when You do see Others as they really are, sharing in My Vision,  it is so clear to You that We All are sinless.

² The practice periods for today’s idea are to be undertaken somewhat differently from the previous ones. Begin with eyes closed, and repeat the idea slowly to yourself. Then open your eyes and look about, near or far, up or down-anywhere. During the minute or so to be spent in using the idea, merely repeat it to yourself, being sure to do so without haste and with no sense of urgency or effort.

³ To do these exercises for maximum benefit, the eyes should move from one thing to another fairly rapidly since they should not linger on anything in particular. The words, however, should be used in an unhurried, even leisurely fashion. The introduction to this idea should be practiced as casually as possible. It contains the foundation for the peace, relaxation, and freedom from worry that we are trying to achieve. On concluding the exercises, close your eyes and repeat the idea once more, slowly, to yourself.

⁴ Three practice periods today will probably be sufficient. However, if there is little or no uneasiness and an inclination to do more, as many as five may be undertaken. More than this is not recommended.
