LESSON NINETEEN

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 am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts.

Father, Please Help Me First To Remember You Before I Think Of My Brothers. Then Will I Remember Them As They Are: Sons Of God With Me.

1 The Idea For Today Is Obviously The Reason Why Your Seeing Does Not Affect You Alone. Reminding You That What You See Is Created By Your Thoughts!  You Will Notice That At Times The Ideas Related To Thinking Precede Those Related To Perceiving, While At Other Times The Order Is Reversed. The Reason Is That The Order Does Not Actually Matter. Thinking And Its Results Are Really Simultaneous, For Cause And Effect Are Never Separate.  So Learn To Get Still And  Pause Before You Think And Ask Of Me What You Really See.  Oh How This Will Bless All Of Your Others!

2 Today We Are Again Emphasizing The Fact That Minds Are Joined. This Is Rarely A Wholly Welcome Idea At First, Since It Seems To Carry With It An Enormous Sense Of Responsibility And May Even Be Regarded As An “invasion Of Privacy.” Oh, Lord! Do I Really Have To Give Up My Petty Thinking?  Well, Let Me Ask You This: Would You Like That Thought Done Unto You? If Not, Then Don’t Do It Unto Others. It Sounds Familiar? I Can Quote Myself! (He’s Laughing At That!) Yet It Is A Fact That There Are No Private Thoughts. Each Unloving Thought Is A Mental Blow Against An Other.  Despite Your Initial Resistance To This Idea, You Will Yet Understand That It Must Be True If Salvation Is Possible At All. And Salvation Must Be Possible Because It Is The Will Of God. For We All Are One.  So Since I’m Awake, You Can Waken Too.

3 The Minute Or So Of Mind Searching Which Today’s Exercises Require Are To Be Undertaken With Eyes Closed. The Idea Is To Be Repeated First, And Then The Mind Should Be Carefully Searched For The Thoughts It Contains At That Time. As You Consider Each One, Name It In Terms Of The Central Person Or Theme It Contains And, Holding It In Your Mind As You Do So, Say:

4 I Am Not Alone In Experiencing The Effects Of This Thought About ___.  For Any Negativity Will Drag Down All My Others, While Loving Thoughts Will   Uplift All Of Us.  Why Not Opt For Love?

5 The Requirement Of As Much Indiscriminateness As Possible In Selecting Subjects For The Practice Period Should Be Quite Familiar To You By Now And Will No Longer Be Repeated Each Day, Although It Will Occasionally Be Included As A Reminder. Let Your Love And Unsg Be Trotrally Impartrial. Do Not Forget, However, That Random Selection Of Subjects For All Practice Periods Remains Essential Throughout. Lack Of Order In This Connection Will Ultimately Make The Recognition Of Lack Of Order In Miracles Meaningful To You.  And The Fact That “God Is No Respecter Of Persons¹.” Each One Is Precious To Him. To Understand This: Do We Prefer The Pinky To The Thumb?  Rest Assured, Your  Gifts Are Treasured By Him. He Is Their Giver.  So Treasure All Your Others For All Of Us Are Precious Gifts.  That’s A Miracle!²

6 Apart From The “as Needed” Application Of Today’s Idea, At Least Three Practice Periods Are Required, Shortening The Length Of Time Involved If Necessary. Do Not Attempt More Than Four.

There’s No Need For You To Over-Achieve.

¹ Jesus’ Teaching To Peter That “God Is No Respecter Of Persons” In The Book Of Acts, Chapter 10

30 and Cornelius Said, Four Days Ago I Was Fasting Until This Hour; And At The Ninth Hour I Prayed In My House, And, Behold, A Man Stood Before Me In Bright Clothing,

31 and Said, Cornelius, Thy Prayer Is Heard, And Thine Alms Are Had In Remembrance In The Sight Of God.

32 send Therefore To Joppa, And Call Hither Simon, Whose Surname Is Peter; He Is Lodged In The House Of One Simon A Tanner By The Sea Side: Who, When He Cometh, Shall Speak Unto Thee.

33 immediately Therefore I Sent To Thee; And Thou Hast Well Done That Thou Art Come. Now Therefore Are We All Here Present Before God, To Hear All Things That Are Commanded Thee Of God.

34 then Peter Opened His Mouth, And Said, Of A Truth I Perceive That God Is No Respecter Of Persons:
