LESSON FIFTY-ONE
REVIEW I

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.

¹ The review for today covers the following ideas:

[1] Nothing I see means anything.

Nothing I see means a thing for I am looking through the blind lens of the ego, which sees not Reality, but its own imagination.

² The reason this is so is that I see nothing, and nothing has no meaning. It is necessary that I recognize this, that I may learn to see. What I think I see now is taking the place of vision. I must let it go by realizing that it has no meaning so that vision may take its place.

In other words, all I see is nothing but pure fantasy.  Just as I dream in the night, so am I dreaming in the day.  To see what is Real, I must Awaken.

³ I have judged everything I look upon. And it is this and only this that I see. This is not vision. It is merely an illusion of reality, because my judgments have been made quite apart from reality. I am willing to recognize the lack of validity in my judgments because I want to see. My judgments have hurt me, and I do not want to see according to them.

For My lack of True Vision distorts Reality for Me.

⁴ How could I understand what I see when I have judged it amiss? What I see is the projection of my own errors of thought. I do not understand what I see because it is not understandable. There is no sense in trying to understand it. But there is every reason to let it go and make room for what can be seen and understood and loved. I can exchange what I see now for this merely by being willing to do so. Is not this a better choice than the one I made before?

This Course is actually very simple, for all it ever asks of You is to choose again.  To change a faulty choice for a better one.  That’s not hard to do.

Where before You chose for hatred and for separation, now may You choose for Love, for as You give, You know You do receive.

[4] These thoughts do not mean anything.

The ego keeps You busy babbling its unloving, selfish thoughts.  Like a television, You can shut them off right now, trade them in for Peace.

Ask Me for help in doing that, and I will gladly give it.

⁵ The thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything because I am trying to think without God. What I call “my” thoughts are not my real thoughts. My real thoughts are the thoughts I think with God. I am not aware of them because I have made “my” thoughts to take their place. I am willing to recognize that “my” thoughts do not mean anything and to let them go. I choose to have them be replaced by what they were intended to replace. “My” thoughts are meaningless, but all creation lies in the thoughts I think with God.

These are the thoughts I will share with You, these Gifts from Our Father.

[5] I am never upset for the reason I think.

I am upset because upset is extremely addictive.  It gives reason to be angry, and anger is a drug stronger than heroin.

⁶ I am never upset for the reason I think because I am constantly trying to justify “my” thoughts. I am constantly trying to make them true. I make all things my “enemies” so that my anger is justified and my attacks are warranted. I have not realized how much I have misused everything I see by assigning this role to it. I have done this to defend a thought system which has hurt me and which I no longer want. I am willing to let it go.

Love feels so much better than does anger.  Will You join Me loving All Our Brothers?
