Lesson 21
I am determined to see things differently.
The idea for today is obviously a continuation and extension of the preceding one. This time, however, specific mind-searching periods are necessary, in addition to applying the idea to particular situations as they may arise. Five practice periods are urged, allowing a full minute for each.
2 In the practice periods, begin by repeating the idea to yourself. Then close your eyes and search your mind carefully for situations past, present, or anticipated that arouse anger in you. The anger may take the form of any reaction ranging from mild irritation to rage. The degree of the emotion you experience does not mater. You will become increasingly aware that a slight twinge of annoyance is nothing but a veil drawn over intense fury.
3 Try therefore, not to let the “little” thoughts of anger escape you in the practice periods. Remember that you do not really recognize what arouses anger in you, and nothing that you believe in this connection means anything. You will probably be tempted to dwell more on some situations or person than on others, on the fallacious grounds that they are more “obvious.” This is not so. It is merely one example of the belief that some forms of attack are more justified than others.
4 As you search your mind for all the forms in which attack thoughts present themselves, hold each one in mind while you tell yourself:
I am determined to see__________differently.
I am determined to see__________(specify situation) differently.
5 Try to be as specific as possible. You may for example, focus your anger on a particular attribute of a person, believing that the anger is limited to this aspect. If your perception is suffering from this form of distortion say:
I am determined to see__________(specify the attribute) in__________differently.

All mind creating apart from God and away from True Creation leads to death, destruction, decay and chaos. It will take all manner of forms. But a life away from the Source of Life, away from Oneness of thought, word, and deed with our Heavenly Father – is a life of fear, sorrow and insanity in all forms. It may look good, smell good – taste good, but it still ends the same way. It can go on like this until we Wake Up, better sooner than later. May the Lord Jesus bless, guide, and protect our minds and the path that He has lit before us. Thank you for sharing with me. Walk in Love my friend.
