LESSON 54

These are the review ideas for today:

1. 1(16) I have no neutral thoughts.

2Neutral thoughts are impossible because all thoughts have power. 3They will either make a false world or lead me to the real one. 4But thoughts cannot be without effects. 5As the world I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real world rise before my eyes as I let my errors be corrected. 6My thoughts cannot be neither true nor false. 7They must be one or the other. 8What I see shows me which they are.

2. 1(17) I see no neutral things.

2What I see witnesses to what I think. 3If I did not think I would not exist, because life is thought. 4Let me look on the world I see as the representation of my own state of mind. 5I know that my state of mind can change. 6And so I also know the world I see can change as well.

3. 1(18) I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing.

2If I have no private thoughts, I cannot see a private world. 3Even the mad idea of separation had to be shared before it could form the basis of the world I see. 4Yet that sharing was a sharing of nothing. 5I can also call upon my real thoughts, which share everything with everyone. 6As my thoughts of separation call to the separation thoughts of others, so my real thoughts awaken the real thoughts in them. 7And the world my real thoughts show me will dawn on their sight as well as mine.

4. 1(19) I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts.

2I am alone in nothing. 3Everything I think or say or do teaches all the universe. 4A Son of God cannot think or speak or act in vain. 5He cannot be alone in anything. 6It is therefore in my power to change every mind along with mine, for mine is the power of God.

5. 1(20) I am determined to see.

2Recognizing the shared nature of my thoughts, I am determined to see. 3I would look upon the witnesses that show me the think­ing of the world has been changed. 4I would behold the proof that what has been done through me has enabled love to replace fear, laughter to replace tears, and abundance to replace loss. 5I would look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my will and the Will of God are one.
