LESSON 1

A Course In Oneness Blog

Intro to Part I

W-pi.1-

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.

LESSON 319

Intro to Part II

What is the Last Judgment?

W-pii.319

Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 319

I came for the salvation of the world.

+++

The unhealed mind holds separation as true.

This mind is no longer accustomed to the Totality of Eternal Oneness,

But separation is the domain of opposites, so anything begun must also end.

The healing experience of Totality must eventually be restored to the mind that holds separation to be true.

Once healed, this mind is the salvation of the separated world it made.

Once healed, there is no world.
