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 1,

Nothing I See,

Means Anything.

Nothing I see in this room,

On this street,

From this window,

In this place,

Means anything.

Open your eyes.

Look slowly around you and practice applying this idea very specifically to whatever you see.

Say to yourself,

Recite in your mind,

This table does not mean anything.

This chair does not mean anything.

This hand does not mean anything.

This foot does not mean anything.

This pen does not mean anything.

Now look farther away from your immediate area and apply the idea to a wider range.

Say to yourself,

Say in your mind,

That door does not mean anything.

That body does not mean anything.

That lamp does not mean anything.

That sign does not mean anything.

That shadow does not mean anything.

Close your eyes.

Nothing I see means anything.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.

I’m reminded that all things are temporary with eternal value. I’m coming to terms with holding all things loosely.
