Hi Mudra
good to see you continue sharing as long as is possible.
The course in miracles is very good.

Copied from
"Lesson 7 I SEE ONLY THE PAST.

The idea is particularly difficult to see at first yet it is the rationale for all the preceding ones.
It is the reason why nothing you see means any thing
It is the reason why you have given everything you see all the meaning it has for you.
It is the reason you do not understand anything you see.
It is the reason your thoughts do not mean anything, and they are like the things you see..
It is the reason why you are never upset for the reason you think.
It is the reason you are upset because you see something that is not there."


The book really shakes up your belief system.
All thoughts are untrue.
Thats a hard one but it is so.
Mainly because of the false premise that there is a me thinking them.
We take the baggage of the past and attach it to the experience of the present moment so we don't see the present moment pure and pristine as it really is, perception is distorted by past events.

Love Chris
