REVIEW III
Introduction
“But learning will be hampered when you skip a practice period because you are unwilling to devote the time to it that you are asked to give. Do not deceive yourself in this. Unwillingness can be most carefully concealed behind a cloak of situations you cannot control. Learn to distinguish situations that are poorly suited to your practicing from those that you establish to uphold a camouflage for your unwillingness.”
“Place the ideas within your mind, and let it use them as it chooses. Give it faith that it will use them wisely, being helped in its decisions by the One Who gave the thoughts to you.”
“In these reviews, we stress the need to let your learning not lie idly by between your longer practice periods.”
“If you are shaken, think of it again. These practice periods are planned to help you form the habit of applying what you learn each day to everything you do. Do not repeat the thought and lay it down. Its usefulness is limitless to you.”
“Do not forget how little you have learned.
Do not forget how much you can learn now.
Do not forget your Father’s need of you,
As you review these thoughts He gave to you.”
These are the things I want to remember during this review.
LESSON 111
(91) Miracles are seen in light.
(92) Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.
I am happy to be reminded that while miracles are my right and my responsibility, I must look within to the light of holiness if I want to perform miracles and if I want the gift of miracles. There is only darkness when I look outward at the illusion for my solutions and my understanding.
As I consider my life as Myron and the world in general, it can seem impossible sometimes to even believe in miracles, much less receive and give miracles. But I am not depending on my small self for this, but in the strength of God that is in me.
Regina’s Tips
During meditation we are pay attention to the true Self (awareness).
Contemplation has a different purpose. Contemplation brings clarity to the mind, so that the mind can operate with wisdom instead of through ignorance. Contemplation provides the opportunity to learn from within yourself, to be guided from within yourself and to receive vision from within yourself.
Let’s take advantage of this third review to enhance our contemplation skills. That’s really what the review instructions are pointing to when they say, “Read over the ideas and comments that are written down for each day’s exercise. And then begin to think about them, while LETTING YOUR MIND RELATE THEM to your needs, your seeming problems, and all your concerns. PLACE THE IDEAS WITHIN YOUR MIND, AND LET IT USE THEM AS IT CHOOSES. Give it faith that it will use them wisely, being helped in its decisions by the One Who gave the thoughts to you.”
My Thoughts
I understand contemplation. That is what I often do with the lessons. I ask what it is I should learn from this, and then I let it come to me. It is sometimes profound. It is sometimes probably a combination of contemplation and thinking. During this study, particularly, I will start with a strong desire to leave thinking out of it.
