"Lesson 2 is part of a larger journey of "unlearning" the meanings we've conditioned ourselves to believe."The aim of the second lesson of the Workbook is to recognize that we project our own thoughts, judgments, and meanings onto everything we see. It's about realizing that what we see is not objective but shaped by our personal interpretations and experiences. LESSON #2 (From A Course in Miracles Workbook)I have given everything I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] all the meaning that it has for me.The exercises with this idea are the same as those for the first one. Begin with the things that are near you, and apply the idea to whatever your glance rests on. Then increase the range outward. Turn your head so that you include whatever is on either side. If possible, turn around and apply the idea to what was behind you. Remain as indiscriminate as possible in selecting subjects for its application, do not concentrate on anything in particular, and do not attempt to include everything you see in a given area, or you will introduce strain.Merely glance easily and fairly quickly around you, trying to avoid selection by size, brightness, color, material, or relative importance to you. Take the subjects simply as you see them. Try to apply the exercise with equal ease to a body or a button, a fly or a floor, an arm or an apple. The sole criterion for applying the idea to anything is merely that your eyes have lighted on it. Make no attempt to include anything particular, but be sure that nothing is specifically excluded.As you practice this lesson, know that you are taking a step toward freedom—freedom from the past, from fear, from old pain stories, and from the limitations we've placed on ourselves. I can't wait to hear how Lesson 2 resonates with you, and I'm here to support you every week.JOIN THE RADIANT WARRIOR RETREATRetreat Info and Application PageCONNECT WITH JESSICA FLINTWebsiteRetreatInstagram
"A closed mind that thinks it already understands is not open to learning."A Course In Miracles is about love. It's about relinquishing a thought system based on fear and accepting instead a thought system based on love. You do not need to be religious, nor even identify with the word “God.” The only prerequisite is that you seek to become more or yourself, to develop a deeper sense of peace, joy, and love in your life.I encourage you to remain open to this change. When you are receptive, you will receive the most benefit from it.According to the introduction for the workbook for students of A Course In Miracles:“The exercises are very simple. They do not require a great deal of time, and it does not matter where you do them. They need no preparation. The workbook is designed for daily use for a training period of one year and it's recommended to not undertake more than one set of exercises a day."Here on Love & Learn, we will be taking a much slower pace and covering a daily lesson each week.”A general rule the comes from the introduction to the workbook for students says the following:“Remember only this; you need not believe the ideas, you need not accept them, and you need not even welcome them. Some of them you may actively resist. None of this will matter or decrease their efficacy. But do not allow yourself to make exceptions in applying the ideas the workbook contains, do not decide for yourself that there are some people, situations or things to which the ideas are inapplicable, whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them. Nothing more than that is required.”This first lesson of the Workbook begins the process of opening our minds to the possibility that we may not know what we think we know, we may not really understand what we think we understand. A closed mind that thinks it already understands is not open to learning. Because we believe our safety is in what we believe to be true, we are not likely to welcome something that is telling us the opposite. So with today's lesson, the Workbook gently begins the process of loosening our grip on what we have believed to be true and bringing it to question.As we make our way to Lesson 1, I want to encourage you stay curious, keep an open mind and an open heartLESSON #1 (From A Course in Miracles Workbook)Nothing I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] means anything.Now look slowly around you, and practice applying this idea very specifically to whatever you see:This table does not mean anything.This chair does not mean anything.This hand does not mean anything.This foot does not mean anything.This pen does not mean anything.Then look farther away from your immediate area, and apply the idea to a wider range:That door does not mean anything.That body does not mean anything.That lamp does not mean anything.That sign does not mean anything.That shadow does not mean anything.Notice that these statements are not arranged in any order, and make no allowance for differences in the kinds of things to which they are applied. That is the purpose of the exercise. The statement should merely be applied to anything you see. As you practice the idea for the day, use it totally indiscriminately, meaning without preference for one thing over another.Do not attempt to apply it to everything you see, for these exercises should not become ritualistic. Only be sure that nothing you see is specifically excluded. One thing is like another as far as the application of the idea is concerned.Each of the first three lessons should not be done more than twice a day, preferably morning and evening. Nor should they be attempted for more than a minute or so, unless that entails a sense of hurry. A comfortable sense of leisure is essential.JOIN THE RADIANT WARRIOR RETREATRetreat Info and Application PageCONNECT WITH JESSICA FLINTWebsiteRetreatInstagram

Think about a complicated situation in your life. Maybe it’s a challenging relationship or a particular grievance you’re dealing with.Our natural inclination is to prefer peace over conflict, simplicity over complexity. Yet we seem to continually find ourselves dealing with problem after problem.And that’s because we are secretly attracted to complications. From A Course in Miracles: “Truth is simple. Complexity is of the ego, and is nothing more than the ego’s attempt to obscure the obvious.”By deliberately choosing problems and grievances, we are intentionally (albeit unconsciously) attempting to throw away truth. Meaning love. That’s the goal of the ego: to obscure peace by having us choose against it while not even realizing we’re doing it.But truth and love are still there, wholly complete, simply awaiting our return to its awareness.Support the show (https://www.livebeyondtheillusion.com/contribute)
Most of us believe that our perception of the world is a fairly accurate portrayal of reality. Our various sense organs (especially the eyes and ears) bring us data from the world, and our brain processes that information in such a way to craft a framework for reality.And it all seems to hold together just fine, even though we experience widely varying degrees of emotion from euphoric happiness to the depths of despair.But rarely do we question the basis on which our entire thought system rests.If we are a part of and inseparably connected to infinite oneness, how could we possibly experience anything other than peace? The answer is that we can’t. Yet we can believe we do.From A Course in Miracles: “What you perceive is your interpretation.” In other words, everything that we experience is not reality, but rather our interpretation of reality. Hence all our emotions are not caused by anything going on in the world or our bodies. Our emotions stem from our interpretation of the world.And all interpretation results from a choice in the mind (not the brain). When we experience anything other than peace, it isn’t because reality contains conflict. Lack of peace comes from choosing the ego mind. And nothing else.If we want a different experience, all we need to do is make a different choice in the mind (choosing against the ego and for the mind of the Holy Spirit), from which our entire perception will change.Support the show (https://www.livebeyondtheillusion.com/contribute)
We categorize people based on what we think about them. Those we like or admire rank higher than the ones we despise. We consider some people to be “good energy” and others to be a drag on our state of joy.Yet there is no difference between anybody. Only in our judgment. Everyone is the same. The superficial differences of form don’t matter. We are all one. And when we can see the sameness in everybody - the spirit of oneness that unites us all - then we recognize each person as they truly are.From A Course in Miracles, “When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him you will see yourself. As you treat him you will treat yourself. As you think of him you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose yourself.” True vision sees everyone in the same light, and each experience is instantly transformed from one of judgment to one of joy.Support the show (https://www.livebeyondtheillusion.com/contribute)
