Lesson, 35 - Revived '16 - I AM: A Course in Miracles - www.IamACIM.Com - a podcast by therapyofthesoul

lesson 35 â??My mind is part of Godâ??s. I am very holy.â?? Todayâ??s idea does not describe the way you see yourself now. It does, however, describe what vision will show you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this world to believe this of himself.Yet the reason he thinks he is in this world is because he does not believe it. You will believe that you are part of where you think you are. That is because you surround yourself with the environment you want.And you want it to protect the image of yourself that you have made.The image is part of it.What you see while you believe you are in it is seen through the eyes of the image. It is not vision. Images cannot see. The idea for today presents a very different view of yourself. By establishing your Source it establishes your Identity, and it describes you as you must really be in truth.We will use a somewhat different kind of application for todayâ??s idea, because the emphasis for today is on the perceiver, rather than on what he perceives. For each of the three five-minute practice periods today, begin by repeating todayâ??s idea to yourself, and then close your eyes and search your mind for the various kinds of descriptive terms in which you see yourself. Include all of the ego-based attributes which you ascribe to yourself, positive or negative, desirable or undesirable, grandiose or debased.All of them are equally unreal because you do not look upon yourself through the eyes of holiness. In the earlier part of the mind searching period, you will probably emphasize what you consider to be the more negative aspects of your perception of yourself.Toward the latter part of the exercise period, however, more self-inflating descriptive terms may well cross your mind. Try to recognize that the direction of your fantasies about yourself does not matter. Illusions have no direction in reality.They are merely not true. A suitable unselected list for applying the idea for today might be as follows: â??I see myself as imposed on.â?? â??I see myself as depressed.â??
