A Course In Miracles Lesson 24: Exercise (I Do Not Perceive My Own Best Interests)

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.

A Course in Miracles,

Lesson 24 I do not perceive my own best interests.

Identify a current situation in your life.

List as many goals as possible that you would like to be met to resolve the circumstances.

Say,

In the situation involving,

Name the situation,

I would like X to happen and Y to happen.

Then,

Name everything you would like to happen.

And so on.

I'll be silent while you do this.

Now,

Say to yourself,

Say to your mind,

I do not perceive my own best interests in this situation.

Five practice periods should be undertaken today.

A few subjects,

Honestly and carefully considered,

In each of the five practice periods,

Will be more helpful than a more cursory examination of a large number.

Identify several current situations in your life.

For each one,

List as many goals as possible that you would like to be met to resolve the circumstances.

Say,

In the situation involving,

Then name the situation,

I would like X to happen and Y to happen.

Then,

Name everything you would like to happen.

And so on.

Do this now.

I'll be silent.

Now,

After covering the list of as many hoped for goals as possible,

For each unresolved situation that crosses your mind,

Say to yourself,

Say to your mind,

I do not perceive my own best interests in this situation.

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.
