Journal for Day 15
LESSON 15
My thoughts are images that I have made.
What an extraordinary lesson this is! First, it tells us that we don’t really think, we just think we think. Then it tells us that the reason we believe our thoughts is because we make images of them that convince us the thoughts are real and meaningful. What are those images? They are the world we see with our eyes.
We call it seeing, but really, the eyes are just image makers. We tell our eyes what it is we want to see and our eyes report that image back to us and we say to ourselves, “It must be true because I see it with my eyes.” Nifty trick, I guess. Lesson 325 is the sister lesson to this one and explains the mechanics of this process step by step.
There is real vision, a way that we can “see” without the eyes and that vision will show us what our holy mind wants to see. When this starts to occur we may have light episodes in which we see haloes of light around objects. I never have, myself, but I have spoken to people who have had that experience.
When I did this exercise, I realized that I could do it all day. I have no discomfort with recognizing that each thing I look on is an image I have made. I thoroughly believe this. On the other hand, when something seems to be affecting me, a sickness in my body or hearing that my child is hurt, that kind of thing, I slip back into the illusion and for a while, it may feel very real to me. This is the reason I practice this lesson so that when the world starts to feel real, I will remember the truth.
