Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 4

These thoughts do not mean anything.

They are like the things I see in this room

[on this street, from this window, in this place].

+++

You have questioned the meaning that you have given the experiences of your perceptions. It is time to consider the thoughts that supplied that meaning.

You may notice that most of these thoughts are about “something-else” and about what makes “something-else” special.

A Course In Miracles states, “What is everything leaves room for nothing else.“ (ACIM, T-26.III.1:12)

This means that Oneness, God’s Reality, is the only reality. “Something-else” is not possible.

Many accept intellectually that Oneness is true. However, generally speaking, if you seem to be “here”, you believe in “something-else”. If you did not believe in “something-else”, you would not seem to be “here” in this room, on this street, in this place.

Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 3

I do not understand anything I see in this room 
[on this street, from this window, in this place].

+++

After years of going along with your default assumptions, you tend to forget that you have a choice in how you see things. You think you understand what you perceive in the world because of the meaning the world taught you to give everything in it.

This is an opportunity to consider that there is another possible view of the world.

Could there be another meaning? What does this mean from the perspective of Oneness? What is the meaning from the standpoint of separation?

Right now, the questions are more important than the answers.

This questioning is a courageous step that must be taken with trust and open-mindedness.

Stay curious.

Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 2

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.

+++

Your default tendency is to overlook the fact that you have assigned meaning to the things you perceive. This assigned meaning increases or decreases that thing’s “specialness” compared to other things.

If the assigned meaning is particularly significant to you, you will take that thing seriously. Perhaps you will even see it as a threat. You forget to laugh. You, then, become unable to see things as they are.

This process magnifies separation in your mind.

This is how Oneness seems to be shattered into a multitude.

Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 1

Nothing I see in this room [on this street,

From this window, in this place] means anything.

+++

Your task is to begin questioning the nature of the experience you call “living”.

The purpose of this questioning is not to adopt new beliefs in place of the old ones. This is not an insistence that you should believe something you do not. Imagine, instead, that you are a photographer and that a lens is being added to your existing stock of lenses.

This is an opportunity to consider another possible view without resting on any default assumptions you may already have. After years of going along with such default assumptions, you may forget that there is a choice in how you see things.

This questioning is a vital step on the road to allowing Oneness to enter your mind more fearlessly.

This questioning is a courageous step that must be taken with trust and open-mindedness. It will become clear that you do not take this step alone.
