It is Love and forgiveness that will clear thoughts of the past. I will stand lovingly as a Holy Child of God who offers peace and light to this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet me understand that I am trying to use time against God.\u201d (L8)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n My knowledge and judgements over the past do not serve me in what I want. I want Love and connection so holding onto past illusions is another way I separate myself from Love (and connection). Because I only see the past, this choice has cost me seeing what is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWould I not rather join the thinking of the universe than to obscure all that is really mine with my pitiful and meaningless \u2018private\u2019 thoughts?\u201d (L10)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cReality brings only perfect peace.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n My mind immediately went to work on how to \u2018solve\u2019 my life so I remain peaceful as I experience all the tings in it. It took reading the lesson review summaries before it \u2018clicked\u2019 and reminded me that \u2018reality\u2019 is something different to what I currently see. Those who experience NDE (near death experience) speak of being in a field of Love. Perhaps this is reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I got upset yesterday. When I was settled enough to reflect on what triggered me, it was about control of a project at home. This has helped me to see that my being controlling is me seeing the past. I control so I am not hurt, disappointed, or angered as I think I was in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, this is so. I live in the past and so condemn the world and try to control others. I think this is how I can create peace while living in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet me remember that I look on the past to prevent the present from dawning on my mind.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, I see nothing. If all my experiences are reactions to past events ( or things I once knew) then I am acting, and reacting, in field of nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI can see only what is now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The lesson says it is not a choice of picking post or present but I want to truly see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So \u2019seeing\u2019 is not just being present, it must be more \u2026 opening to the presence of Love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I sense that this lesson eliminates the need for all my prior musing. I\u2019ve just filled a page with my thoughts on how to be present, and to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After sitting with my breath for a minute, I asked HS about the value of these thoughts I\u2019ve put on this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I heard that it all helps to come to forgiveness. Forgiveness being the release of false thoughts, per WB.II.1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Review of lessons 6-10 2-21-2024 [6] I am upset because I see what is not there.
