Welcome to active meditation.

The Course in Miracles reveal Lessons 1-10 Nothing I see means anything.

The reason this is so is that I see nothing,

And nothing has no meaning.

It is necessary that I recognize this,

That I may learn to see.

What I think I see now is taking the place of vision.

I must let it go.

By realizing it has no meaning,

So that vision may take its place.

Nothing I see means anything.

I have given what I see all the meaning it has for me.

I have judged everything I look upon.

And it is this,

And only this,

I see.

This is not vision.

It is merely an illusion of reality.

Because my judgments have been made quite apart from reality.

I am willing to recognize the lack of validity in my judgment,

Because I want to see.

My judgments have hurt me,

And I do not want to see according to them.

I have given what I see all the meaning it has for me.

I do not understand anything I see.

How could I understand what I see when I have judged it amiss?

What I see is the projection of my own errors of thought.

I do not understand what I see because it is not understandable.

There is no sense in trying to understand it.

But there is every reason to let it go,

And make room for what can be seen,

And understood,

And loved.

I can exchange what I see now for this,

Merely by being willing to do so.

Is not this a better choice than the one I made before?

I do not understand anything I see.

These thoughts do not mean anything.

The thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything,

Because I am trying to think without God.

What I call my thoughts are not real thoughts.

My real thoughts are the thoughts I think with God.

I am not aware of them because I have made my thoughts to take their place.

I am willing to recognize that my thoughts do not mean anything,

And to let them go.

I choose to have them be replaced by what they were intended to replace.

My thoughts are meaningless,

But all creation lies in the thoughts I think with God.

These thoughts do not mean anything.

I am never upset for the reason I think.

I am never upset for the reason I think,

Because I am constantly trying to justify my thoughts.

I am constantly trying to make them true.

I make all things my enemies,

So that my anger is justified,

And my attacks are warranted.

I have not realized how much I have misused everything I see by assigning this role to it.

I have done this to defend the thought system that has hurt me,

And that I no longer want.

I am willing to let it go.

I am never upset for the reason I think.

I am upset because I see what is not there.

Reality is never frightening.

It is impossible that it could upset me.

Reality brings only perfect peace.

When I am upset,

It is always because I have replaced reality with illusions I made up.

The illusions are upsetting because I have given them reality,

And thus regard reality as an illusion.

Nothing in God's creation is affected in any way by this confusion of mine.

I am always upset by nothing.

I am upset because I see what is not there.

I see only the past.

As I look about,

I condemn the world I look upon.

I call this seeing.

I hold the past against everyone and everything,

Making them my enemy.

When I have forgiven myself and remember who I am,

I will bless everyone and everything I see.

There will be no past,

And therefore no enemies,

And I will look with love at all that I failed to see before.

I see only the past.

My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.

I see only my own thoughts,

And my mind is preoccupied with the past.

What then can I see as it is?

Let me remember that I look on the past to prevent the present from dawning on my mind.

Let me understand that I am trying to use time against God.

Let me learn to give the past away,

Realizing that in so doing,

I am giving up nothing.

My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.

I see nothing as it is now.

If I see nothing as it is now,

It can truly be said that I see nothing.

I can see only what is now.

The choice is not whether to see the past or the present.

The choice is merely whether to see or not.

What I have chosen to see has cost me vision.

Now I would choose again that I may see.

I see nothing as it is now.

My thoughts do not mean anything.

I have no private thoughts,

Yet it is only private thoughts of which I am aware.

What can these thoughts mean?

They do not exist,

And so they mean nothing.

Yet my mind is part of creation and part of its creator.

Would I not rather join the thinking of the universe than to obscure all that is really mine with my pitiful and meaningless private thoughts?

My thoughts do not mean anything.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.

That sent me through many emotions. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you. 🌸🙏🏾

I dig the water noises. They were new for me and cool drifting off sounds. Didn't expect the sloshing to take me that far but it did 😌. Thank you!

Thank you🙏

Unique and powerful but a little dark 🕶️

Wonderful. Namaste 🙏🏽

Inspiring.
Wonderful contemplation of major Course principles.
🙏🏻

Yes yes yes! 🙏🏼

A great way to start the morning and shake up what I believe.

I don't how else to describe this.. But here we go. While I was listening, it felt like my ego was resisting what was being said. But I felt an innate truth to the words at the same time. I felt myself switching from observation/judgement, to being in the present moment. Very interesting meditation. Thank you 💜

Amazing 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you 🙏🏾❤️✨✨✨

Phew....heavy! Wow I get it but my thinking mind, my ego is not happy - it really doesn’t like the idea that it means nothing. My ego does not want to lose control. But I pray every day to God to help me surrender my ego to him. It is an interesting struggle to witness 😊

I love this for a morning meditation. It helps me have an open mind throughout my day.

❤️ the book and this meditation does a great job summarizing the first lessons into a practice. Thank you !
