My thoughts* on A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 33. There is another way to look at the world.
There is another way of looking at the world.
* Other than the egocentric, “I am a victim. I need to defend myself by attacking first.” Mentality, that believing in separation from God gives us.
1. Today’s idea is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your perception of the world in both its outer and inner aspects.
²A full five minutes should be devoted to the morning and evening applications.
³In these practice periods, the idea should be repeated as often as you find comfortable, though unhurried applications are essential.
⁴Alternate between surveying your outer and inner perceptions, but without an abrupt sense of shifting.
2. Merely glance casually around the world you perceive as outside yourself, then close your eyes and survey your inner thoughts with equal casualness.
²Try to remain equally uninvolved in both, and to maintain this detachment as you repeat the idea throughout the day.
3. The shorter exercise periods should be as frequent as possible.
²Specific applications of today’s idea should also be made immediately, when any situation arises which tempts you to become disturbed.
³For these applications, say:
⁴There is another way of looking at this.
4. Remember to apply today’s idea the instant you are aware of distress.
²It may be necessary to take a minute or so to sit quietly and repeat the idea to yourself several times.
³Closing your eyes will probably help in this form of application.
* What we are doing on this Lesson is stepping into that space within that knows Father. That knows that we are part of something bigger that is perfect and that we are worthy of every joy and blessing that has ever been or ever could be.
(ACIM, W-33.1:1–4:3)
* Free pexel photo: do not be concerned if you are not able to sense everything that I speak of within. We each will come into it in our own way as Guided by Father through SPIRIT and ACCORDING to the need of the Universal Plan of Salvation which serves the Whole Consciousness of Christ. It is not impossible that you are not meant to experience things but to have faith in what is shared by others but do not short-change yourself and not attempt the experience. Also, do not get “bigger than Reality” in thinking you have answers that others will not get, or not be able to reach themselves. We all have a path that serves the Whole. Thank you for doing your part. Eventually, each of us will receive the witness of True Forgiveness of the belief in separation from Father. No one can take your place in that. Much love, debi.
This is according to my understanding on the 2nd of February 2025. Our experiences reflect questions that the United Consciousness wants to ask itself.
To Father be ALL Glory and Praise Given AS His Son, debi.
