Welcome to Active Meditation.
A Course in Miracles.
God is my source.
I cannot see apart from God.
Open your eyes.
Glance around.
Locate four or five objects and say to yourself,
God is my source.
I cannot see that,
Namely object,
Apart from God.
I'll wait while you do this.
Close your eyes.
Repeat in your mind,
God is my source.
I cannot see apart from God.
Now observe your thoughts.
See what relevant thoughts occur.
If extraneous non-relevant thoughts happen,
Open your eyes and repeat.
God is my source.
I cannot see apart from God.
Then close your eyes.
Monitor your thoughts again.
Observe your thoughts.
I'll be quiet.
God is my source.
I cannot see apart from God.
When applying today's idea in the shorter practice periods,
The form may vary according to the circumstances and situations in which you find yourself during the day.
When you are with someone else,
For example,
Try to remember to tell them silently,
God is my source.
I cannot see you apart from God.
This form is equally applicable to strangers as it is to those you think are closer to you.
In fact,
Try not to make distinctions of this kind at all.
This idea should also be applied throughout the day to various situations and events that may occur,
Particularly to those which seem to distress you in any way.
For this purpose,
Apply the idea in this form.
God is my source.
I cannot see this apart from God.
If no particular subject presents itself to your awareness at the time,
Merely repeat the idea in its original form.
Let's practice again.
Open your eyes.
Look around you.
Locate several objects.
Repeat,
God is my source.
I cannot see that object apart from God.
And name the object.
Do this now.
Close your eyes.
Say to yourself,
Say in your mind,
God is my source.
I cannot see apart from God.
Witness your thoughts.
We are looking for relevant thoughts.
If extraneous non-related thoughts arise,
Open your eyes and repeat,
God is my source.
I cannot see apart from God.
Then,
Close your eyes.
Touch your thoughts again.
Open your eyes.
God is my source.
I cannot see apart from God.
Observe your thoughts.
Open your eyes.
Try today not to allow any long periods of time to slip by without remembering today's idea.
And thus,
Remembering your function.
God is my source.
I cannot see apart from God.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
