God is my strength. Vision is His gift.
“You will see because it is the Will of God. It is His strength, not your own, that gives you power. And it is HIs gift, rather than your own, that offers vision to you.”
To see past the images of the dream comes with willingness. The willingness to see differently, to see the innocence and the truth of His Creation. God extended Himself, He is never without His extension which is His Son.
God is whole, complete, with no exception, therefore so are you. Your holiness (wholeness) blesses the world. What has no division must be strong. The strength of God is within you because you are one with your Source.

I am blessed as a Son of God.
What does this lesson mean to me?
~~God loves His Son without limit. God shares with or gives everything to His Son. His Son can have no cares or worries. God is everywhere, His Son is never without God’s Love. God’s Son is safe, secure, healed and whole.
The Oxford American dictionary defines “blessed” as endowed with divine favor and protection. God’s Son has divine favor and protection means to me that even his errant thoughts cannot have effect in reality. He can (and does) mistake his thoughts as real and forgets that he has made a dream of separation. And I have been given a key to wake from the dream. I have within my mind the Voice of Love to guide me, to shine the Light to dispel the darkness. This Guide will show me that only Love is real and there is nothing to fear, and that God is Love. And that I am Love and nothing else.
In practicing the lesson, I am allowing the truth to return to my awareness. I have the opportunity to give up the lessons that I taught myself, let the imagined effects be undone.

Before I began the lesson for the day (39) I was given this idea.
The body rejects itself. Does this not represent your attempt to reject your true Self?
In truth you can never be separate from your eternal Self, you remain as Love created you. Look not with fear on what you made, for your dreams are mistaken thoughts. They show you your errors and errors can be erased if you so choose. Not by you, but by the complete, perfect Companion Who accompanies you in every step and turn.
Yet as long as you value your separateness, you will hold your thoughts and not give them over to the One who can correct them. As long as you value specialness you will hold the dream tight, not letting your errors be undone. The ego thought is what holds tightly to what it made. This thought is NOT you. This tiny thought is no where, it is nothing. Allow yourself to slip into peace, into a stillness and calm within your mind. Therein is your Answer, there is the truth. By resting in peace, you remember all that you tried to forget; you give room for Love to be Itself. Rest in peace often, and know that your Companion is ever with you, in all your ways, and will give you all that you need.

Above all else I want to see.
Vision has no cost to anyone.
It can only bless.
How much do you want today’s idea to be true?
How much do I want to see innocence? If I follow the ego system, the belief is that my brother must be guilty for me to be free/sinless. If I would see that my brother is the same as me there could be no fear. Ideas of loss and lack come from the insane ego system and are meaningless.
By seeing my brother’s innocence, I will recognize my own. My sinlessness is guaranteed by God. Every brother is sinless because they are in my mind, in the Mind of Love. Being one in the Mind of Love, there is no separation, no guilt, no loss.

I am determined to see things differently.
Whatever I seem to be looking at it is always my meaning that I “see.” If I want to see it as it really is I must lay down my definition or interpretation. My meaning does not replace Loves meaning on anything. Thoughts based on separation do not have meaning. They are really nothing.
Being determined to see differently is my willingness to see with the eyes of Love or Christ Mind. This enables me to see beyond my projection to the Love that is everywhere. It is asking for correction of my distorted thoughts from the Mind of Love. Willingness becomes the healed mind. Thoughts without Love are meaningless, but it does not mean that I will not believe in them.

“I am upset because I see a meaningless world.”
I think I see a hostile world, a greedy world, a sad world. I think I see a poor world, an impoverished world. But I am upset because I see a meaningless world.
Once more, I have given everything I see all the meaning it has for me. If I am willing to give up my meanings I will “see” the truth that Love has written for me. The images that I see are my thoughts. As I am willing to lay my thoughts down for just an instant, I will have a moment of truth and Love in place of fear. That memory will shine away the meaningless thoughts, the thought of separation that I chose before.

This is what came to me during the practice of Lesson 10.
“My thoughts do not mean anything. This idea will help release me from all that I now believe.”
My thoughts of being a failure do not mean anything. My thoughts of not completing things do not mean anything. My thought of being weak do not mean anything. My thoughts of being unworthy do not mean anything. My thoughts of being useless do not mean anything. My thoughts of condemnation do not mean anything.
My thoughts only show me my misperceptions, they show me my false beliefs. They are a call for healing. ~~Do I choose to accept salvation/forgiveness for myself? Accepting forgiveness is my only function here. When I realize my thoughts are not valuable or valid, there will be no effort to let them go.
“I will not value what is valueless.” “I loose the world from all I thought it was.”
“My thoughts do not mean anything.” My thoughts are valueless. These thoughts hide my real thoughts from my awareness. The thoughts I share in Heaven are my real thoughts. Thoughts of Love are real thoughts. There is no thought but the Thought of God.
I had the idea of passing on a bread bowl to someone who enjoys bread making (after hearing that his bowl had been broken). I used to value that bread bowl, because it was part of my “history,” a connection with mother and her family. There was a part of me that valued the history of family and the value of making bread. Making bread made me “valuable” (worthy). Now I recognize that I put all the meaning on that bowl that it had for me.
My mind it preoccupied with past thoughts, my thoughts do not mean anything. The past is gone, it is selective memory, the past is nothing, it has no value. It has no meaning.
