Lesson 17

I see no neutral things

This idea is another step in the direction of identifying cause and effect as it actually operates. You see no neutral things because you have no neutral thoughts. It is always the thought that comes first, despite the temptation to believe that it is the other way around. This is not the way the world thinks, but you must learn that it is the way you think. If it were not so, perception would have no cause, and would be itself the cause of reality. In view of its highly variable nature, this is hardly likely.

2 In applying today’s idea, say to yourself, with eyes open:

I see no neutral things, because I have no neutral thoughts.

For example, you might say:

I do not see a neutral wall, because my thoughts about the walls are not neutral.

I do not see a neutral body, because my thoughts about bodies are not neutral.

3 As usual, it is essential to make no distinction between what you believe to be animate or inanimate, pleasant or unpleasant. Regardless of what you may believe, you do not see anything which is really alive and joyous. That is because you are unaware as yet of any thoughts which are really true and therefore really happy.

4 Three or four specific practice periods are recommended, and no less than three are required for maximum benefit, even if you experience resistance. However, if you do, the length of the practice period may be reduced to less than the minute or so which is otherwise recommended.

Personal Notes: I see no neutral things because I have no neutral thoughts. It is always the thought that comes first, this is not the way the world thinks or the way my mind has been trained to operate. But it is the way I need to learn to think, if it were not so, perception would have no cause and would itself be the cause of reality, in view of its highly variable nature, this is hardly likely. I pray for all my dear brothers and myself to be enlightened of true understanding, to protect our eyes in seeing, our minds in thought, that we do not receive or project to the world anything but Truth and Reality of Jesus, in, to, and Through Jesus, guided by our Holy Spirit. Thank You for sharing with me. Walk in Love my friend!
