This is the first idea we have had that is related to a major phase of the correction process; the reversal of the thinking of the world. <sup>2<\/sup>It seems as if the world determines what you perceive. <sup>3<\/sup>Today\u2019s idea introduces the concept that your thoughts determine the world you see. <sup>4<\/sup>Be glad indeed to practice the idea in its initial form, for in this idea is your release made sure. <sup>5<\/sup>The key to forgiveness lies in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. The practice periods for today\u2019s idea are to be undertaken somewhat differently from the previous ones. <sup>2<\/sup>Begin with your eyes closed, and repeat the idea slowly to yourself. <sup>3<\/sup>Then open your eyes and look about, near and far, up and down,\u2014anywhere. <sup>4<\/sup>During the minute or so to be spent in using the idea merely repeat it to yourself, being sure to do so without haste, and with no sense of urgency or effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. To do these exercises for maximum benefit, the eyes should move from one thing to another fairly rapidly, since they should not linger on anything in particular. <sup>2<\/sup>The words, however, should be used in an unhurried, even leisurely fashion. <sup>3<\/sup>The introduction to this idea, in particular, should be practiced as casually as possible. <sup>4<\/sup>It contains the foundation for the peace, relaxation and freedom from worry that we are trying to achieve. <sup>5<\/sup>On concluding the exercises, close your eyes and repeat the idea once more slowly to yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Three practice periods today will probably be sufficient. <sup>2<\/sup>However, if there is little or no uneasiness and an inclination to do more, as many as five may be undertaken. <sup>3<\/sup>More than this is not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"width: 100%; margin: auto; text-align: center;\">\n\n  <!-- YouTube video embed -->\n  <div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;\">\n    <iframe \n      src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2DNGs0apTmE?rel=0\"\n      title=\"YouTube video player\"\n      frameborder=\"0\"\n      allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\"\n      allowfullscreen\n style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\">\n    <\/iframe>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <!-- Like & comment button -->\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2DNGs0apTmE\" \n     target=\"_blank\" \n     style=\"       display: inline-block;        margin-top: 15px;        background-color: #1eabe4;        color: #fff;        padding: 12px 20px;        text-decoration: none;        font-weight: bold;        border-radius: 6px;        transition: background-color 0.3s ease;       width: 100%;       box-sizing: border-box;     \"\n     onmouseover=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#1594c6'\"\n     onmouseout=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#1eabe4'\">\n    \ud83d\udc4d Like &#038; Comment on YouTube\n  <\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2728 Inspired by the core message of the Course:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"Nothing real can be threatened.
