A Course In Miracles Lesson 6 - Exercise (I Am Upset Because I See Something That Is Not There)

Some of the ideas the workbook presents you will find hard to believe, and others may seem to be quite startling. This does not matter. You are merely asked to apply the ideas as you are directed to do. You are not asked to judge them at all. You are asked only to use them. It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and will show you that they are true.

Listen to the Contemplation first, then use this Exercise several times a day

Welcome to Active Meditation,

A Course in Miracles,

Lesson 6.

I am upset because I see something that is not there.

There are no small upsets.

They are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind.

I cannot keep this form of upset and let the others go.

For the purposes of these exercises,

Then,

I will regard them all as the same.

Let's practice with the feeling of anger.

First,

Find the source of your anger,

A person,

A situation,

Or an event.

I'll wait while you do this.

Say to yourself,

Say in your mind,

I am angry at,

I am the source,

Because I see something that is not there.

Do this now.

The three or four practice periods which are required should be preceded by a minute or so of mind-searching as before,

And the application of the idea to each upsetting thought uncovered in the search.

Let's practice again.

Say to yourself,

Say to your mind,

I am,

Describe the upset.

I am upset at,

Locate the source.

I am upset at the source,

Because I see something that is not there.

Practice this now,

With your defined upset and your located source.

I am upset,

Because I see something that is not there.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
