LESSON SEVENTEEN

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.

I see no neutral things.

For My mind does  opine on everything it sees and thinks of.

¹ This idea is another step in the direction of identifying cause and effect as it really operates. You see no neutral things because you have no neutral thoughts. It is always the thought that comes first, despite the temptation to believe that it is really the other way around. We think, then We see. This is not the way the world thinks, but you must learn that it is the way you think. The world believes in many things that are sanctioned not by God, and thus invalid. If it were not so, perception would have no cause and would itself be the cause of reality. In view of its highly variable nature, this is hardly likely. For the Divine Reality of God is always constant.

² In applying today’s idea, say to yourself, with eyes open:

³ I see no neutral things because I have no neutral thoughts.

For they all are biased in my favour; whatever that is, they serve some purpose.

⁴ Then look about you, resting your glance on each thing that catches your eye long enough to say:

⁵ I do not see a neutral _____, because my thoughts

about _____ are not neutral.

⁶ For example, you might say:

⁷ I do not see a neutral wall, because my thoughts about walls are not neutral.

I do not see a neutral body, because my thoughts about bodies are not neutral.

(This one’s obvious.)

⁸ As usual, it is essential to make no distinction between what you believe to be animate or inanimate, pleasant or unpleasant. Regardless of what you may believe, you do not see anything which is really alive and really joyous. That is because you are unaware as yet of any thoughts which are really true and therefore really happy.

For happiness is born of Truth and thus it is forever.

⁹ Three or four specific practice periods are recommended and no less than three are required for maximum benefit even if you experience resistance. However, if you do, the length of the practice period may be reduced to less than the minute or so which is otherwise recommended.

Like learning to swim, first You must put Your toes in the water.
