1 Today’s review includes the following:
[21] I am determined to see things differently.
2 What I see now are but signs of disease, disaster, and
death. This cannot be what God created for His beloved Son. The very
fact that I see such things is proof that I do not understand God.
Therefore I also do not understand His Son. What I see tells me that I
do not know who I am. I am determined to see the witnesses to the truth
in me, rather than those that show me an illusion of myself.
[22] What I see is a form of vengeance.
3 The world I see is hardly the representation of loving
thoughts. It is a picture of attack on everything by everything. It is
anything but a reflection of the Love of God and the love of His Son. It
is my own attack thoughts which give rise to this picture. My loving
thoughts will save me from this perception of the world and give me the
peace God intended me to have.
[23] I can escape from the world by giving up attack thoughts.
4 Herein lies my salvation, and nowhere else. Without attack
thoughts I could not see a world of attack. As forgiveness allows love
to return to my awareness, I will see a world of peace and safety and
joy. It is this I choose to see in place of what I look on now.
[24] I do not perceive my own best interests.
5 How could I recognize my own best interests when I do not
know who I am? What I think are my best interests would merely bind me
closer to the world of illusions. I am willing to follow the Guide God
has given me to find out what my own best interests are, recognizing
that I cannot perceive them by myself.
[25] I do not know what anything is for.
6 To me, the purpose of everything is to prove that my
illusions about myself are real. It is for that purpose that I attempt
to use everyone and everything. It is this that I believe the world is
for. Therefore I do not recognize its real purpose. The purpose I have
given the world has led to a frightening picture of it. Let me open my
mind to its real purpose by withdrawing the one I have given it, and
learning the truth about it.
