If I am upset, it is never for the reason I think it is. I am upset because I am identified with fear as a reality base. I am upset because I have projected a meaningless, but seemingly victimizing world of circumstances and events that I have little effect to change but rather that I feel impotent against. And within this time/space dimension, I feel fear, an experience totally foreign in identity, to what I really am, in truth. No wonder I think I am upset. But remember, my thoughts do not mean anything. They are like the things I think I see, I have given them all the meaning they have for me. None of which is true... nor seen at all in the light of awakening day! Hallalujah!
So, in other words, the flip side of that frightening world, is the haunting feeling (here’s the right-minded up-flip) which occurs at the same moment, out of time, where I know I am totally responsible for all of it. I am responsible for placing my belief in fear as a form-based reality, for making up my separation from love and then identifying with being separate and alone…
None of this matters.
The mind-training of the Workbook but asks we merely do what the lesson says.
Today we’re merely searching our minds for erroneous upsets, in whatever form they may seem to arise and applying the lesson:
“I am never upset for the reason I think…”
If I notice any hierarchy or more difficulty applying the lesson to a particular subject, the lesson tells me to say:
“There are no small upsets. They are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind.”
I am not worried about___________for the reason I think…or
I am not angry about_______ for the reason I think…
Further still, any resistance to the neutral application of the Lesson idea, we meet with this support thought.
‘I cannot keep this upset and let the others go, so for the purpose of these exercises.”
We just show up three or four times today to practice in this same way and we have done what it asks of us… nothing more is required and nothing less…
I LOVE YOU
