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.

² The reason this is so is that I see nothing, and nothing has no meaning.  Why do I see nothing?  Nothing that I see has any Reality at all. None whatsoever, so I’m seeing nothing! It is necessary that I recognize this, that I may learn to see. See Reality and not delusions! What I think I see now is taking the place of vision.  Insanity is not Reality. I must let it go by realizing that it has no meaning so that vision may take its place.  And that I may regain My Sanity.

[2] I have given what I see all the meaning it has for me.  Another hallmark of insanity: to see without any connection to My Divinity.  How could I connect having forgotten that I am Divine.

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 judgments have so blinded Me that I can no longer see. I dwell in dreams that hide Myself from Me.  Far from rewarding.

[3] I do not understand anything I see.  How could I when it’s not Reality.  That’s the bottom line: is it Real or not?  How can We tell when We but dwell in dreams.  It’s one fantasy after another, and We believe them.  And belief makes them seem real for it but gives validity to the illusion of reality.  Yet can illusions ever become real?  Obviously not, save within a dream!

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. This is very reasonable, just not to the ego.  Ahh, so, does say Confucius, with more wisdom than do Dreamers ordinarily possess.  But there is every reason to let it go and make room for what can be seen and understood and loved. You mean that there is something far finer here than ever I have dreamed? Is this so? Are You saying that: 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?  May I choose again?  Can Our good God really be that gracious!  Yes! Indeed, He is.

[4] These thoughts do not mean anything.  Why not?  Good question!  Because they are not in harmony with God.  For they do not flow from a mind that’ is connected with the Holy Spirit.  So let Us choose to make the connection. Only Good can come from sacred Joining.

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. It’s not My thinking but that of the awful, churlish ego.  My real thoughts are the thoughts I think with God. Those thoughts are the thoughts I want to know. 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.  (Go to the ego, while I go to God.) 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.

[5] I am never upset for the reason I think.  Bottom line: thinking – in and of itself  – is upsetting.  Best to go to God for All the answers.

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 don’t why, since, assuredly, they don’t make Me happy!  As Paul said: “wretched man that I am;” – and wretched am I.  That about covers it for Us Dreamers. I make all things my “enemies” so that my anger is justified and my attacks are warranted.  How far away from Love have I wandered. 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.  Please help Me, dear Father-Mother.  Please help Me Elder Brother.  I am quite willing.
