Welcome to Active Meditation.
A Course in Miracles,
Lesson 18.
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing.
Keeping your eyes closed,
Say to yourself,
Say to your mind,
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing.
Now open your eyes,
Look about you,
Select subjects for the application of the idea for today as randomly as possible.
Keep your eyes on each one long enough to say,
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of how I see.
And then name what you see.
Do this now.
Close your eyes.
Remember,
Odds which give rise to what you see are never neutral or unimportant.
All minds are joined.
Say to yourself,
Say to your mind,
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing.
Open your eyes,
Look about you,
Select the subjects as randomly as possible.
Keep your eyes on each one long enough to say,
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of how I see.
Name what you see.
Close your eyes.
Include each practice period by repeating the more general statement,
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing.
A minute or so or even less will be sufficient.
Three or four practice periods are recommended.
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing.
Let's return to our regular levels of thought and feeling.
Take a few deep breaths.
Return to the waking state.
To time and space.
I am aware.
I now know.
I am.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
