Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 6

I am upset because I see something that is not there.

+++

You believe the voice in your head; you call it “My thoughts”.

Notice that, among upsetting things, one thing is always more upsetting, more special than another. This makes them both special and different. You are upset and do not remember that differences cannot be true if Oneness is true.

Consider these questions:

Are you the “thinker” of these thoughts or simply the audience for this voice?

Do you have these thoughts, or do these thoughts have you?

Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 5

I am never upset for the reason I think.

+++

The essence of upset is generally about the “other”, even when it seems to be about “me”. This is because we know and define “m

e,” by contrast, with the idea of some “other” (some “not me”).

The idea of the “other” is based on the assumption that the idea of “something-else” is not only possible but true. This must be a lie if Oneness is true. You cannot focus on this lie while you are upset.

In other words, “Upset-ness” is a wonderful distraction from noticing that separation is not true.

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.
