Oneness Commentary:

LESSON 7

I see only the past.

+++

It is in the past that you have learned the context you use to interpret today’s experiences.

 

This past is like tinted glasses that you have always worn. Now, you are unaware of the tint because you have come to believe that the world is “that hue”.

 

The vision these tinted lenses provide is a context in which Oneness is not true and the “other” is real and a threat.

 

You have come to think of this as “Just the way that it is”.

 

Today, we call this view into question.

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 “me,” 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.
