A Course In Miracles Lesson 7: Exercise (I See Only The Past)

The purpose of the workbook is to train your mind in a systematic way to a different perception of everyone and everything in the world. The exercises are planned to help you generalize the lessons, so that you will understand that each of them is equally applicable to everyone and everything you see.

Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists.

Listen to this contemplation first, before the exercise for each lesson.

Welcome to Active Meditation.

A Course in Miracles,

Lesson 7.

I see only the past.

I see only the past.

The process is,

Look about you.

This is equally true of whatever you look at.

Acknowledge this by applying the idea for today,

Indiscriminately,

To whatever catches your eye.

Do not linger over any one thing in particular,

But remember to omit nothing specifically.

Lance briefly at each subject,

And then move on to the next.

I see only the past.

Now let's practice.

Open your eyes.

Locate an object.

Say to yourself,

Say in your mind,

I see only the past in this object.

Then name the object.

Now,

On your own,

Glance at several objects,

Indiscriminately.

Say to yourself,

Say to your mind,

I see only the past in this object,

And name it.

I'll be silent while you do this.

Close your eyes.

I see only the past.

Spend some time thinking about this exercise,

And its meaning for you.

Three or four practice periods,

Each to last a minute or so,

Will be enough.

I see only the past.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
