Welcome to Active Meditation.
A Course in Miracles,
Lesson 42.
God is my strength.
Vision is God's gift.
Open your eyes.
Look about you.
Slowly.
Say to yourself.
Repeat in your mind.
Vision must be possible.
God gives truly.
Close your eyes.
Repeat again in your mind.
Vision must be possible.
God gives truly.
Now spend some time observing thoughts.
Thoughts that are related to the possibility of vision and God's gift.
I'll be silent while you do this.
I'll be silent while you do this.
Remember,
However,
That active searching for relevant thoughts is not appropriate for today's exercises.
Try merely to step back and let the thoughts come.
If you find this difficult,
It is better to spend the practice period alternating.
Between slow repetitions of the idea with eyes open,
Then with eyes closed,
Than it is to strain to find suitable thoughts.
Let's practice again.
Open your eyes.
Slowly look around.
Repeat in your mind several times.
God's gift to me must be mine because God gave them to me.
Close your eyes.
Repeat again in your mind.
God's gift to me must be mine because God gave them to me.
Now,
Witness your thoughts.
Thoughts that are related to the gifts that God has given you.
Now,
Witness your thoughts.
Let's practice again.
Open your eyes.
Slowly look around.
Open your eyes.
Slowly look around.
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.
Repeat to yourself,
God is my strength.
Vision is the gift.
Resume observing your thoughts.
Vision is the gift.
Let's practice again.
Let's practice again.
There is no limit on the number of short practice periods that would be beneficial today.
The more often you repeat the idea during the day,
The more often you will be reminding yourself that the goal of the course is important to you.
And that you have not forgotten it.
God is my strength.
Vision is the gift.
God is my strength.
God is my strength.
Vision is the gift.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
