It is because the thoughts you think you think appear as images that you do not recognize them as nothing. \u00b2You think you think them, and so you think you see them. \u00b3This is how your \u201cseeing\u201d was made. \u2074This is the function you have given your body\u2019s eyes. \u2075It is not seeing. \u2076It is image making. \u2077It takes the place of seeing, replacing vision with illusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">2. This introductory idea to the process of image making that you call seeing will not have much meaning for you. \u00b2You will begin to understand it when you have seen little edges of light around the same familiar objects which you see now. \u00b3That is the beginning of real vision. \u2074You can be certain that real vision will come quickly when this has occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">3. As we go along, you may have many \u201clight episodes.\u201d \u00b2They may take many different forms, some of them quite unexpected. \u00b3Do not be afraid of them. \u2074They are signs that you are opening your eyes at last. \u2075They will not persist, because they merely symbolize true perception, and they are not related to knowledge. \u2076These exercises will not reveal knowledge to you. \u2077But they will prepare the way to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. In practicing the idea for today, repeat it first to yourself, and then apply it to whatever you see around you, using its name and letting your eyes rest on it as you say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>2<\/sup>This _________ is an image that I have made.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>3<\/sup>That _________ is an image that I have made.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">\u2074It is not necessary to include a large number of specific subjects for the application of today\u2019s idea. \u2075It is necessary, however, to continue to look at each subject while you repeat the idea to yourself. \u2076The idea should be repeated quite slowly each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">5. Although you will obviously not be able to apply the idea to very many things during the minute or so of practice that is recommended, try to make the selection as random as possible. \u00b2Less than a minute will do for the practice periods, if you begin to feel uneasy. \u00b3Do not have more than three application periods for today\u2019s idea unless you feel completely comfortable with it, and do not exceed four. \u2074However, the idea can be applied as needed throughout the day.<\/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\/ig6ZlAP7pgM?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=ig6ZlAP7pgM\" \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.
