A Course In Miracles Lesson 21: Exercise (I Am Determined To See Things Differently)

This is a Course in Miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect to take it at a given time. The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to love’s presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.

Welcome to Active Meditation. A Course in Miracles Lesson 21 I am determined to see things differently. Begin by repeating the idea to yourself. Then close your eyes and search your mind carefully for situations, Past, Present or anticipated that arouse anger in you. The anger may take the form of any reaction, Ranging from mild irritation to rage. The degree of the emotion you experience does not matter. Let's practice. Search your mind for all the forms in which attack thoughts resent themselves. Hold each one in mind while you tell yourself, I am determined to see name of person differently. I am determined to see specify the situation differently. Do this now. Remember that you do not really recognize what arouses anger in you. And nothing that you believe in this connection means anything. Another practice session. Say, I am determined to see specify the attribute in name of person differently. Do this now. Five practice periods are urged, Allowing a full minute for each. I am determined to see things differently. 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 now know. I am aware. I am. Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.
