Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 24

I do not perceive my own best interests.

+++

If Oneness is true, there can only be one thing to “want”.

In the world of multiples, there are multiple problems. These problems have multiple solutions, for which there are multiple outcomes to want.

For the mind of Oneness, “want” is sometimes a mystery, an abstraction. Want is based on the possibility of incompleteness, or the shift towards a perfected state. Oneness is whole and complete.

For the mind of multiplicity, “want” is also an abstraction. It’s similar to a child who wants to eat the whole cake at their birthday party, thinking it will make the day great.

You think you know what will make you happy, yet you don’t even know what you are. The world of multiples taught you that you are one among many. This isr all you know about what you are.

If Oneness is true, there can only be one thing to “want”.

Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 23

I can escape from the world I see

by giving up attack thoughts.

+++

An “attack thought” is between you and another person or others.

Your thoughts are of segmentation, pieces, and parts. Each piece and part is known by its differences and distinctions relative to other pieces and parts. Your belief that segmentation is true is an attack on Oneness in the form of denying Oneness.

If Oneness is true, the attacker and the attacked can be no different. In Oneness, there can be no such things as “you” and “another”.

In Oneness, there can be no “victim situation”, but such a vision of insanity is possible; “You” are the source of it.

Acceptance of the truth of Oneness is the escape from this vision of insanity

Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 22

What I see is a form of vengeance.

+++

An attack thought is either between another person and me or between two others. If Oneness is true, there can be no such thing as “other”, “another”, or even “myself”.

Forgiveness is the knowing of “non-difference” in all we perceive. In this view of the world, there is no “attacked” or “attacker” and no “defender”.

Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 21

I am determined to see things differently.

+++

Learning begins by recognizing that there may be something to learn.

Oneness, only, is true.

You erroneously believe that differences and distinctions are true.

It is possible to use this error to correct this error.

The experience of illusion is a learning tool.

Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 20

 I am determined to see.

+++

“God is not good, or else he could do better.”

Meister Eckhart

Without sight, the “Good” of God is unknowable. It is a “good” without a corresponding “Bad” to contrast with.

There is nothing so splendid or desirable in this world of opposites as this “Good”.

This is the “Good” that is Only-ness.

The Reality of God (Only-ness) is your birthright. The development of sight facilitates the experience of this Reality.

Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 19

I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts.

+++

The One-mind that accepts multiplicity seems to experience many minds. However, the mind is One, as God is one.

Because the mind is truly One, a change in any seemingly separate mind must change the One.

That is why I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts.

Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 18

 I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing.

+++

The One-mind that accepts multiplicity seems to experience many minds. One way home for the mind in this state is to recognize that all seemingly alone minds are joined in the One-mind; the joining of what-could-never-have-been-broken.

Alone means “someone else” is possible but not available. In this sense, it may be more correct to say that Oneness does not mean loneliness but

“Only-ness”.

There can be no “alone” in Only-ness.

Only-ness means the mind is One as God is one.

Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 17

I see no neutral things.

+++

Oneness is love with no opposite “outside” and no distinctions “within”.

Oneness is pure, simple, and eternally joyful: perfect peace.

The ego must “paint over” this profound and perfect peace with stripes of different shapes, colors, and sizes, then sell you the idea that it is reality. This makes you a perceiver.

Everything you perceive is perceived as it compares and contrasts with something else. Before you can question this sell-job, the ego shouts, “Look out there!” or “Watch out for that one!” or “Here! Protect this one instead of that one!”. While you deal with disturbing “problems”, you forget to question the source of the stripes you perceive. Your thought system remains enmired in “separation mode”.

The separation mode of thinking is the source of the illusion-of-a-world you experience and why you seem to be in it.

The freedom of Oneness is currently beyond your experience. The recovery of the experience of this freedom requires that you first accept your current mode of thinking, just as it is. This acceptance is the first step in unlearning it.

Although this fact is hidden from you, your mind is the source of this illusory world. The challenge is to accept that your mind’s hidden sourcing of the illusion is like water “hidden” from a fish.

To reveal your mind, you must pay attention to and respect what shows up in the illusion.

In the illusion, any perception can be experienced at any time. No “order” is imposed from “outside” of this illusion. If this were not true, you would, indeed, be a “victim of the world you see”.

Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 16

 I have no neutral thoughts.

+++

Simply stated, Oneness cannot contain “things”, and there can be “no-thing” outside Oneness. The challenge we confront today is that our perception is filled with many “things”.

Perception requires differences and distinctions.

The body is your most perceptible experience. Care of this body makes differences seem important. As long as you seem to have a body, you must respect the body you seem to have. As long as you seem to have a body, you must respect the likelihood that you believe differences are important.

While you believe differences are important, you will never question the function of your eyes as organs that seem to see “things” that are there. While you believe differences are important, you will experience barriers to the experience of Love’s presence.

This Course is mind training for letting go of these barriers.
