Welcome to active meditation.
A Course in Miracles,
Lesson 22.
What I see is a form of vengeance.
Open your eyes.
Look around.
Now say to yourself,
I see only the perishable.
Say in your mind,
I see nothing that will last.
Remind yourself,
What I see is not real.
Now repeat in your mind,
What I see is a form of vengeance.
Close your eyes.
Now ask yourself,
Is this the world I really want to see?
The answer is surely obvious.
You made what you would destroy.
You made everything that you hate,
And would attack and kill.
All that you fear does not exist.
Let's practice again.
Open your eyes.
Now say to yourself,
I see only the perishable.
Now say in your mind,
I see nothing that will last.
Remind yourself,
What I see is not real.
What I see is a form of vengeance.
Close your eyes.
Remind yourself,
Is this the world I really want to see?
The answer is surely obvious.
What I see is a form of vengeance.
Let's return to our regular levels of thought and feeling.
Return to the waking state,
To time and space.
I am aware.
I am.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
