Lesson of the Day 21 - I am determined to see things differently /with Devavan

see a very similar idea. We are definitely proceeding in that aspect and quality of our mind to express determination in order to be successful in a complete transformation of mind, which is obviously a required course and a required action of mind to express one's determination for awakening one's the termination to go home and be in the peace of God.

And so it is in a sequence of lessons in which Jesus, at the very beginning of this mind training year, pushes us and shows us what it is about this change of mind? What is it about this necessity of making a decision choosing a new being willing and as we already headed in the last few days starting this, I see no neutral things, and I'm not alone in

experieniencing the effects of my seeing. I'm not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts, and yesterday I'm determined to see we are definitely making and clear admission that what we see now in this world is no longer satisfying us. It is this admission of seeing sickness, aging, disaster, all those signs needs to change and become a complete

new way of perceiving ourselves in time space. And Jesus shows and gives us in that lesson opportunity to go into memory, past memory or present memory, anticipated future memory of anything that causes us grievance, resentments that arouses anger in us, in order to really investigate with clarity into our way of thinking and feeling and perceiving ourselves. And

that is the lesson today. I'm determined to see things differently is obviously a declaration that I want to be free of all thought forms I'm made up as idols in order to keep me in time space, in order to keep me bound. So it is also a clear expression of the power of decision, as we were already yesterday practicing in the way of directing our mind to vision, seeing it with the Holy Spirit, seeing the light behind any limited thort forms. And this is really our welcoming

to a new way of relating with each other. If we can live up to a determination to see things differently, to see persons differently, see events and situations differently, and then we're basically no longer in bondage of the past and how we let the past affect us. So for a moment, we'll just be quiet and we'll just continue here in looking what we will expect today in that practice, it is all about practicing today. I'm glad you're here and I welcome you with all my heart in this

mind training practice of this cossimergus lesson twenty one. I'm determined to see things differently, sp Di. And obviously this expression I'm determined to see things differently is also a commitment, a commitment to site and restoration of sight. And as we were talking about in the beginning, that what we see in this world as signs of the split mind, of sickness, loss and tests is really not understanding right, not understanding what is going on, not understanding yourself. You

do not know literally who you are. That is what Jesus expresses when he shows us this path of mind within the mind training and needs change. And therefore I'm determined to see now the witnesses to the truth in me, rather than those which show me an illusion of myself, that show me just another picture of the world, that just show me another evidence of the past. And we are taking that decision for that new way of seeing today.

In the lesson itself, it starts out that the idea for today is obviously a continuation and the extension of the preceding one. Now, let's say, look what the preceding one, yesterday I'm determined to see was offering us, because it was talking about that reversal of our thinking, right, and he was telling us that it is a first attempt

to introduce structure. But the structure is out, you know, without any demands, without any feeling of being coerced, and just basically we are still going along and we want to feel relaxed with that. And he says, simply, don't try to exert force or pressure. That's not what this meant with introducing structure. But you you want to be happy. Every human being wants to be happy. You want peace. Who does not really want peace? Even those who go

to war want peace. You do not have them. Now you have not happiness, you have not peace, you have not salvation. Why is that so? Because your mind is totally antisciplined, and you cannot distinguish between those qualities of your emotional bath of yourself, like joy and sorrow, like pleasure and pain, even love and fear. And those are the words of Jesus in the lesson twenty And you are now listening how to tell them about You're now starting to finding out how to distinguish them. And great,

indeed will be your reward. Your decision to see is all that vision requires. And our decision to see our determination to see and to see things differently. That is all that vision requires. And what you really will is full will power. What you want is yours. Because God has one son. You are his son. He is the

resurrection and the life. You must be the resurrection and the life, and his will is done because and here it is why these two lessons yesterday and today are all about power of decision, power of mind, because all power is given you is given his son in heaven and on earth, and in your determination to see his vision given you. But he also makes clear and yesterday's lesson that the idea implies the recognition that you do

not see now. And so it is today in less twenty one that you're saying I'm determined to see things differently implies the recognition that you do not see things differently now, right, And therefore, as you repeat the idea as you go along and practice throughout the day, I am determined to see things differently. You're stating that you're determined to change your present state for a better one, for a different perspective, for a different way of seeing,

and one you really want. You know by now already after three weeks, that you don't want to see it in the way as you were suffering throughout thousands of years, suffering in the emotions that grievances bring about. And that's why we will be invited today to look at anything that arouses anger in us. And then he continues with

the description and indication how to do that. And it was like yesterday we tried to give that every half hour thought and repetition, wasn't it, and twice an hour, right, It was kind of an interruption in that cycle of three to four times a day. Now to Dave less than twenty one starts out with more applications, five applications, if I'm remembering it correctly, and that will continue within for the next four days. Now, let's continue after that

first sentence in less than twenty one this time. However, specific mind searching periods are necessary. Otherwise you wouldn't be here, and you wouldn't want to do the lesson of the day with me. You wouldn't want to listen to a voice that invites you for a complete change. Now, a specific mind searching period is necessary. This is what you want, and in addition continuing, in addition to applying the year

to particular situations as they may arise. Here it is five practice periods a urged, allowing a full minute for each, and that will change them to two minutes in a few days. But for now we are with five practice periods path day. And now here's the description of what we are actually looking at in that practice period, what we ask to how to do the lesson in the practice periods. Begin by repeating the idea to yourself. So we begin by dealing to ourselves. I am determined to

see things differently. I'm determined to see things differently. And then close your eyes so we can practice that right now. Close your eyes and search your mind carefully for situations past, present,

or anticipated that arouse anger in you. So close your eyes, search your mind carefully for situations past, present, or anticipated that arouse anger in new and their anger may take the form of any reaction, ranging from mild irritation to rage, and the degree of the emotion you experience doesn't matter, you know, like all types of resentments, all types of upsets, no matter what form it takes, no matter what degree.

And now we are so used to judge each other by the expression of upsetness, and we think that somebody who is passively aggressive is more acceptable than somebody who is straighten off. But it is the same. It's really no different, It doesn't matter. The degree of the emotion you experience doesn't matter. You will become increasingly aware that a slight twinge of annoyance is nothing but a veil drawn over intense fury, a slight twinge of annoyance. There

is no small upset. We were hearing and practicing and remembering already in less than five and less than six there are no small upsets. Every upset is the maximum separation, the maximum annoyance that can be experienced within oneself. And if that becomes more and more acceptable, there is no order of difficult CURTI not even in our emotional upset ness or emotions of upset. Then you know also that the slightest upset representing separation is actually the complete rage

that is felt against oneself against God. Literally, if you enraged with a brother, you are actually expressing your rage against God. So continuing, he says, right, therefore, not to let the little thoughts, little underquotes, the little thoughts of anger escape you in the practice periods. Remember that you do not really recognize or the rouse is anger in you, and nothing that you believe in this connection means anything.

A very clear, important, great expression, actually, isn't it. Remember that you do not really recognize what arouses anger in you, and nothing that you believe in this connection means anything. Your thoughts do not mean anything. These thoughts do not mean anything. But as we were coming from that, your meaningless thoughts are showing you a meaningless world, and you're upset because you see a meaningless word, and then a

meaningless word and gender's fear. Those were the ideas eleven twelve thirteen, as we just practiced them a week ago, right, and they show us how important it is to acknowledge that anything that we feel and experience is completely meaningless. There's no meaning to it whatsoever. So you will probably be tempted to dwell more on some situations or persons than on others, on the fallacious grounds that they are

more obvious. He says, this is not so. It is merely an example of the belief that some forms of attack are more justified than others. And that is what we are asked to be really be careful with, not to make that inventory in your mind to discover that there is no difference in any form of attack. All forms of attack are never justified, but of course the human mind and tries to justifies it and tells itself that it would be more justified than any other form

of attack. You know. There's then the difference where there are there are all those terrorists, and we are the good ones, you know. And yet if you look on the level of the thought, of that tech thought in the mind, you see there isn't really any difference whatsoever. And a tech thought is attacking the peace of the mind, is attacking ones truth and reality. And this is what we are escaping now, this is what we are healing. Now,

this is what we let correct. And if we come together as I'm just on the way to for an event, for coming together, a reunion, in order to share what can really be shared, speaking an experience of God, speaking a realization of what is already unified in my mind, as in your mind, as in any mind, speaking of the experience of light of Heaven. Then our purpose here in time space is really only to remember the truth, only to share that. This is what we came here for.

This is why I'm here. This is why I'm listening to that voice from heaven. This is why I've accepted an assignment to give that message to all of myself, to everyone in my mind. This is why an extent of that of which we cannot speak is coming back and received by ourselves exactly through that act of giving it, of extending it, of sharing it. So your participation, if it is in this lesson, in any other session, in any reunion or event, you are the one giving, and

you are the one receiving. And the more you give, the more you will receive, because you give only to yourself, and you can, in truth only give the truth what is eternally true, already established in creation itself. So and as you search your mind for all the forms in which attack thoughts present themselves. That is what we are

asked to do today. Now, all situations that arouse anger in us, all forms in which attack thoughts present themselves, he says, Now hold each one in mind while you tell yourself, and here it gives the example how we should deal with it. I'm determined to see and then you will fill in the name of the person, the situation, the specific situation, the event that arouses that emotion in you.

So you would say, I'm determined to see name of person differently, and I'm determined to see you my brother differently. And of course we can and should include ourselves into that. Also, I'm determined to see myself differently. I'm determined to see blank, specify the situation or the event differently. Okay, now that is the mind searching I'm determined to see. Maybe it is the situation how you communicate with your neighbor. You wanna see that differently. And then instruction is to try

to be as specific as possible. You may, for example, focus your anger on a particular attribute of a particular person, believing that the anger is limited to this aspect, and if your perception is suffering from this form of distortion and say, I'm determined to see and then you specify that attribute, yeah, in the person. You name the person differently. I'm determined to see maybe that way how your brother is doing things how and the form of communication he

chooses that arouses anger upset in you. And you're determined now to see that situation, that attribute, that person differently. Now, let's take a moment again and continue with that mind training sequence, and I'm just gonna choose here an instrumental sought song that doesn't really need to be an instrumental. Okay, let's do the come to the table and you go along and try to make that mind searching for situations past,

present and anticipated that arouse anger in you. And do not justify any form, do not give anything an exemption, but use as it comes in your mind and apply it with its descendants. I am determined to see that differently. I am determined to see that person, that situation, that

attribute differently. Thank you, Yeah, And just to also remind ourselves that this is not really different than what we already have shared in the introduction of all the lessons, as it was given at the very beginning on the first day as the introduction to the workbook, where pretty much rather to the end in the sixth paragraph is telling us that the only that is a general rule, right, that is supposed to be observed is that first that we what we practice. Yeah, that the exercise be practiced

with great specificity, exactly as it is indicated. And secondly, to be sure that you do not decide yourself that there are some some people, some situations, some events, some attributes, or things to which the idea would not be applicable. Right, in applicable, he says. So those are the general rules, right it do not make any exceptions. And so the overall aim of the exercise is to increase the ability

to extend the idea to everything. Yeah, the application, he said, originally to increase the application of the idea to everything, and we do that effortlessly. It doesn't take any effort whatsoever. So just remember those sentences or look them up into introduction whenever you don't really know, hesitate in following complete instructions as given in the lesson itself. Now I'm determined

to see things differently as we were doing. This lesson today is of course also in connection with many other lessons and we will come back very soon. Actually this Lessons twenty seven twenty eight. We will then say above all else, I want to see and in a week we will do a buff all else. I want to see things differently and see what the difference will be than saying I'm determined, because it's also an expression of a complete determination if we want to see above or else,

and we just made them the clear decision. Okay, it has to be beyond anything we see now. And so we also listen to the teacher with in us that might use his own words as we all do, in order to exemplify and show us in which context this power of decision, to demonstrate a determination to see things

differently is expressed. And I would like to share with you now the words of the Master Teacher, and this will be just four and a half minutes clip from one of his videos, and this from the Entanglement series and which I prepared here and want to share with you.

So just make yourself really comfortable and be completely relaxed, and let those words think in into your mind, into your consciousness, so that you can see how that correction is given through his mind, so that mind of Huers that is expressed and given to the world as the master teacher of the Cosumericles. Thank you for your willingness to listen to him here. It is now the reason I'm this.

this with me? Or all the ideas that I ever have that have been placed out there in this world that I have now subtracted from myself in the idea, and now I can select what I want in regard to the cause and effect that I'm feeling this view. Who the time will come when you'll teach this, because the time will have to come when you teach it. There's nothing complicated about the idea that you know, and I'm talking to you now. You know there's a power

in your mind. What I would always offer you is more power to make a decision if I can get you to admit, at least fundamentally, that the idea of doing is not out there. Now you say to me, well, I'm not going to do that. Those are the next two lessons that you get in the idea that I want to see and I want to see differently. I want to see and I want to see differently. I'm just going to read two sentences. Okay, you listen to me. I want to see differently and I want to see

Say to me, I'm determined to see. Yeah. Now, this approach has been intentionally and carefully planned by Jesus because he wants you to hear that. We have not lost sight of the crucial importance of the reversal of your thinking. The salvation of the world depends on it. Yet you will not see it if you reguide yourself as coherst

and if you give in to resentment and oppossession. That's pretty simple, because I'm determined to see differently either practice by which each time I view you, all right, I have to draw attention to the fact that I'm using my mind. I'm trying to talk to I'm talking to you as an advanced teacher, A terrible devastating experience as

a human condition that allows me to escape out. So at the very minimum, I can compare myself with things outside of this frame of my mind by the simple admission that the problem, as I have apparently attempted to resolve it cannot be what I am. That's the sentence, I am determined to see differently. Listen, I'm determined to see things differently. Now Here we practice by repeating the

idea for yourself that you want to see differently. Close your eyes, search your mind carefully for situations that are past, that are present, or that are anticipated that arouse anger in you that you don't like. Now. The anger may take the form of any reaction, ranging from mild irritation to rage. The degree of the emotional experience does not matter.

You will become increasingly aware that a slight twinge of annoyance is nothing but a veil drawn over intense fury, very simply because as you're determined to establish the idea of a reality in relationship with you and somebody else outside of you that is still contained within the prospect that you're not causing the problem, And even when you

admit that you're causing the problem. As Jesus reminds you, you may try to subtract yourself because it's very obviously you're going to have to deal with the undoing of your mind. You listen with me, Yeah, listen.

that we are sharing. And with this we'll leave you now and just have far my last song, sharing with you and enjoying in that sharing of that lesson for to day, expressing our power of decision, expressing ourselves in our determination to see things differently. I love you and have a most wonderful day wherever you go. And yes, I'm right available in your mind and so in our one christ mind to be used and to facilitate that experience of singular light that is determined by all awakening.

Thank you for accepting. Thank you for China. I love you, Bye bye.
