A Course in Miracles Review Lessons 26-30 Prepare for meditation.
Move your physical body into a comfortable position.
Relax.
Remove all expression from your face.
Let go of any worries or concerns until this exercise is over.
I'll wait while you do this.
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 what you want to take 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 the awareness of love's presence,
Which is your natural inheritance.
The opposite of love is fear.
But what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.
This Course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability.
How can I know who I am when I see myself as under constant attack?
Pain,
Illness,
Loss,
Age,
And death seem to threaten me.
All my hopes and wishes and plans appear to be at the mercy of a world I cannot control.
Yet,
Perfect security and complete fulfillment are my inheritance.
I have tried to give my inheritance away in exchange for the world I see.
But God has kept my inheritance safe for me.
My own real thoughts will teach me what is.
My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability.
Above all else,
I want to see.
Recognizing that what I see reflects what I think I am,
I realize that vision is my greatest need.
The world I see attests to the fearful nature of the self-image I have made.
If I would remember who I am,
It is essential that I let this image of myself go.
As it is replaced by truth,
Vision will surely be given me.
And with this vision,
I will look upon the world and on myself with charity and love.
Above all else,
I want to see.
Above all else,
I want to see differently.
The world I see holds my fearful self-image in place and guarantees its continuance.
While I see the world as I see it now,
Truth cannot enter my awareness.
I would let the door behind this world be opened for me,
That I may look past it to the world that reflects the love of God.
Above all else,
I want to see differently.
God is in everything I see.
Behind every image I have made,
The truth remains unchanged.
Behind every veil I have drawn across the face of love,
Its light remains undimmed.
Beyond all my insane wishes is my will,
United with the will of my Father.
God is still everywhere and in everything forever.
And we who are part of him will yet look past all appearances and recognize the truth beyond them all.
God is in everything I see.
God is in everything I see because God is in my mind.
In my own mind,
Behind all my insane thoughts of separation and attack,
Is the knowledge that all is one forever.
I have not lost the knowledge of who I am because I have forgotten it.
It has been kept for me in the mind of God who has not left his thoughts.
And I who am among them am one with them and one with him.
God is in everything I see because God is in my mind.
My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability.
Above all else I want to see.
Above all else I want to see differently.
God is in everything I see.
God is in everything I see because God is in my mind.
The purpose of the workbook is to train your mind in a systematic way through a different perception of everyone and everything in the world.
Take a few deep breaths.
And as we return to time and space,
We acknowledge,
I am aware.
I am.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
