LESSON THIRTY-THREE

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.

There is another way of looking at the world.  And it is with Me and not the ego.  I stepped into the world for this reason: to share with You a better way to see.  That way is with Me.  So let Us – You and I – look at the world together, as I share You My Vision.

¹ Today’s idea is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your perception of the world in both its outer and inner aspects.   For how You see it is how it be it. I will for You but that You be happy.  Shall You share this will?  Then You’ll be happy.  A full five minutes should be devoted to the morning and evening application.

² In these practice periods, the idea should be repeated as often as you find profitable, though unhurried applications are essential. Alternate between surveying your outer and inner perceptions, but without an abrupt sense of shifting. Merely glance casually around the world you perceive as outside yourself, then close your eyes and survey your inner thoughts with equal casualness. Try to remain equally uninvolved in both and to maintain this detachment as you repeat the idea throughout the day.  Although a little curiosity is permissible.

³ The shorter exercise periods should be as frequent as possible. Specific applications of today’s idea should also be made immediately when any situation arises which tempts you to become disturbed. For these applications, say:

⁴ There is another way of looking at this.  And there is, You know.  It is together.  Would You like a Friend?  A constant Companion?

⁵ Remember to apply today’s idea the instant you are aware of distress. – An antidote, a healing antidote as Your Physician, healer of Your pain .₁ – It may be necessary to take a minute or so to sit quietly and repeat the idea to yourself several times. Closing your eyes will probably help in this form of application.

There is another way I can see this.  Dear Brother, please do share Your eyes with Me.

¹ “The Healer by Gennesaret will walk the rounds with Thee.”

John Greenleaf Whittier

Last two verses of The Healer

So shalt thou be with power endued
From Him who went about
The Syrian hillsides doing good,
And casting demons out.

That Good Physician liveth yet
Thy friend and guide to be;
The Healer by Gennesaret
Shall walk the rounds with thee

[Thank you Dear Brother]
