1 The exercises with this idea are very similar to the preceding ones.
Again, it is necessary to name both the form of upset (anger, fear,
worry, depression, and so on) and the perceived source very specifically
for any application of the idea. For example:
2 I am angry at ____ because I see something that is not
there.
I am worried about ____ because I see something that is not there.
3 Today’s idea is useful for application to anything that seems to upset
you and can profitably be used throughout the day for that purpose.
However, the three or four practice periods which are required should be
preceded by a minute or so of mind searching, as before, and the
application of the idea to each upsetting thought uncovered in the
search.
4 Again, if you resist applying the idea to some upsetting thoughts more
than to others, remind yourself of the two cautions stated in the
previous lesson:
5 There are no small upsets. They are all
equally disturbing to my peace of mind.
6 And:
7 I cannot keep this form of upset and let
the others go. For the purposes of these exercises,
then, I will regard them all as the same.
