We have been quite casual about our practice periods thus far. \u00b2There has been virtually no attempt to direct the time for undertaking them, minimal effort has been required, and not even active cooperation and interest have been asked. \u00b3This approach has been intentional, and very carefully planned. \u2074We have not lost sight of the crucial importance of the reversal of your thinking. \u2075The salvation of the world depends on it. \u2076Yet you will not see if you regard yourself as being coerced, and if you give in to resentment and opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">2. This is our first attempt to introduce structure. \u00b2Do not misconstrue it as an effort to exert force or pressure. \u00b3You want salvation. \u2074You want to be happy. \u2075You want peace. \u2076You do not have them now, because your mind is totally undisciplined, and you cannot distinguish between joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, love and fear. \u2077You are now learning how to tell them apart. \u2078And great indeed will be your reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">3. Your decision to see is all that vision requires. \u00b2What you want is yours. \u00b3Do not mistake the little effort that is asked of you for an indication that our goal is of little worth. \u2074Can the salvation of the world be a trivial purpose? \u2075And can the world be saved if you are not? \u2076God has one Son, and he is the resurrection and the life. \u2077His will is done because all power is given him in Heaven and on earth. \u2078In your determination to see is vision given you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">4. The exercises for today consist in reminding yourself throughout the day that you want to see. \u00b2Today\u2019s idea also tacitly implies the recognition that you do not see now. \u00b3Therefore, as you repeat the idea, you are stating that you are determined to change your present state for a better one, and one you really want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">5. Repeat today\u2019s idea slowly and positively at least twice an hour today, attempting to do so every half hour. \u00b2Do not be distressed if you forget to do so, but make a real effort to remember. \u00b3The extra repetitions should be applied to any situation, person or event that upsets you. \u2074You can see them differently, and you will. \u2075What you desire you will see. \u2076Such is the real law of cause and effect as it operates in the world.<\/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\/Ty9UGuMNjjc?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=Ty9UGuMNjjc\" \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.
