Review of the first 50 lessons
by Tom Baker
Date: April 18, 2010
All through the Part I of the workbook (lessons 1 through 220) there are reviews of the lessons. The reviews are crucial to the deeper integration of the lessons. In the introduction to the first review the student is encouraged to take the ideas that appeal and reflect on them throughout the day. To prime the well I have offered some examples for each review lesson.
I want vision to take the place of how the ego has taught me to see.
My judgments have hurt me.
My judgments lack validity.
My thoughts lack meaning until I think with God.
What upsets me is trying to justify my judgmental thoughts.
Lesson 52:
Forgiving myself means remembering who I am.
The ego has taught me to use the past to prevent the present.
By giving the past away I lose nothing.
I do not need private or secret thoughts.
Lesson 53:
I already have real thoughts as well as insane thoughts, I often
just don't know the difference.
What I do not value I will let go of.
What really scares me is my insane thoughts.
My belief in illusion has caused me to suffer.
God is the Source of all meaning.
Everything I created I created with God.
The ego has taught me to see the world in terms of suffering,
loss, and death.
Lesson 54:
All thoughts have power.
How I see the world reflects my own state of mind.
I would rather share the world than make a private world for
myself.
I am alone in nothing.
I am always teaching the universe.
A Son of God cannot think, speak, or act in vain.
The Holy Spirit will help me see love, laughter, and abundance.
Lesson 55:
I no longer want to see an illusion of myself.
The world I see and hear about on TV is usually not about loving
thoughts.
When I don't attack in my thinking I am not anxious.
If I don't know who I am how could I know what I want?
I am often trying to make the illusions I have about myself real.
Lesson 56:
I see myself assaulted by pain, illness, loss, age, and death.
Like the prodigal son I am coming home but still forget my
inheritance.
When I see a fearful world I know myself an endangered.
God is smiling at me behind the frown I have drawn upon the world.
Despite my terrified thoughts I really know all is well.
Lesson 57:
I can choose not to be the victim of the world I am used to
seeing.
I am still the Son of God and free despite the imprisoning illusion of myself that I made up.
As long as we can choose love we can be free.
