The idea for today begins to describe the conditions that prevail in the other way of seeing. \u00b2Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. \u00b3It must begin with your own thoughts, and then extend outward. \u2074It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the world arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">2. Three longer practice periods are required for today\u2019s exercises. \u00b2One in the morning and one in the evening are advised, with an additional one to be undertaken at any time in between that seems most conducive to readiness. \u00b3All applications should be done with your eyes closed. \u2074It is your inner world to which the applications of today\u2019s idea should be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">3. Some five minutes of mind searching are required for each of the longer practice periods. \u00b2Search your mind for fear thoughts, anxiety-provoking situations, \u201coffending\u201d personalities or events, or anything else about which you are harboring unloving thoughts. \u00b3Note them all casually, repeating the idea for today slowly as you watch them arise in your mind, and let each one go, to be replaced by the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">4. If you begin to experience difficulty in thinking of specific subjects, continue to repeat the idea to yourself in an unhurried manner, without applying it to anything in particular. \u00b2Be sure, however, not to make any specific exclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">5. The shorter applications are to be frequent, and made whenever you feel your peace of mind is threatened in any way. \u00b2The purpose is to protect yourself from temptation throughout the day. \u00b3If a specific form of temptation arises in your awareness, the exercise should take this form:<\/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>4<\/sup>I could see peace in this situation instead of what I now see in it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">6. If the inroads on your peace of mind take the form of more generalized adverse emotions, such as depression, anxiety or worry, use the idea in its original form. \u00b2If you find you need more than one application of today\u2019s idea to help you change your mind in any specific context, try to take several minutes and devote them to repeating the idea until you feel some sense of relief. \u00b3It will help you if you tell yourself specifically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<sup>4<\/sup>Ek kan my gevoelens van depressie, angs of bekommernis (of my gedagtes oor <em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>hierdie situasie, persoonlikheid of gebeurtenis) vervang met vrede.<\/em><\/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\/6Xx7ND-hdaI?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=6Xx7ND-hdaI\" \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<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.
