Seeing Differently

"Blue Flutist" by Bosch

ACIM Workbook Lesson #21: "I am determined to see things differently"

In this era of instant information, it is becoming increasingly obvious that most of us are receiving the news and opinions which agree with what we have decided is true. Social media is tailor-made to give us what we want, much in the same way as you will get advertisements for things you have searched for on the internet. It has become extremely easy for us to justify our opinions and become convinced that everyone agrees with us — unless, of course, they are on the other side of the fence and their opinions then become diametrically opposed to our own good intentions. We are asked today to examine our mind for anything which arouses anger in us. The lesson also tells us that the degree of anger, from slight irritation to rage, makes no difference. I suspect I will not need to search very far to fill in the blank in this sentence: “I am determined to see ________ [name of person] differently.” Today I will work toward seeing that none of my attack thoughts are justified, no matter how much I want to think they are. Namastè.
