 This is taking us step by step, and we are going through the workbook of A Course in Miracles to have our whole perspective on the world changed, to come under Christ's control, to listen to the guidance and instructions of the Holy Spirit, to unwind our mind from this distorted, linear, time-space, cosmos projection, and come back and enjoy the present moment and be happily, joyfully present in the presence of God's love. So today we are going to go into workbook less than 33. There is another way of looking at the world. Today's idea is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your perception of the world in both its outer and inner aspects. The full five minutes should be devoted to the morning and evening applications. In these practice periods, the idea should be repeated as often as you find comfortable, though unhurried applications are essential. Alternate between surveying your outer and inner perceptions, but without an abrupt sense of shifting. Merely glance casually around the world you perceive as outside of yourself, then close your eyes and survey your inner thoughts with equal casualness. Try to remain equally uninvolved in both and to maintain this detachment as you repeat the idea throughout the day. The shorter exercise periods should be as frequent as possible. Specific applications of today's ideas should also be made immediately when any situation arises which tempts you to become disturbed. For these applications, say, there is another way of looking at this. Remember to apply today's idea the instant you are aware of distress. It may be necessary to take a minute or so to sit quietly and repeat the idea yourself several times. Closing your eyes you will probably will probably help in this form of application. There is another way of looking at the world. So how beautiful is we change our thoughts, we change our tune, we change our outlook on the world. We do this by prayer and the willingness to follow and to be shown another way. So today when I went into the text to look for some support ideas I typed in the word new perception into the course search program and came up with some beautiful sayings I think that are very helpful for our lesson of the day. Remember our lesson is there is another way of looking at the world. So here are some references of new perception. First is from chapter 11, section 8. Yet the swiftness with which your new and only real perception will be translated into knowledge will leave you by an instant to realize that this alone is true. How sweet. Then from the text chapter 17, section 2. And with this final blessing of God's Son upon himself the real perception born of the new perspective he has learned has served his purpose from a text chapter 18, section 9. Here is the new perception where everything is bright and shining with innocence washed in the waters of forgiveness and cleansed of every evil thought you laid upon it. Again from same chapter 18, section 9 forgiveness removes only the untrue lifting the shadows from the world and carrying it safe and sure within its gentleness to the bright world of new and clean perception. Yeah, it's a brighter day. From chapter 19, section 1. It is the messenger of the new perception sent forth to gather witnesses unto its coming and to return their messages to you. Again from chapter 19, this is section 3. For in the new perception the mind corrects it when it seems to be seen and it becomes invisible. And chapter 19, section 4. And in him it is possible that our communion where we are joined already will be the focus of the new perception that will bring light to all the world contained in you. Text chapter 28. The ancient new ideas they bring will be the cause, the happy consequences of a cause so ancient that it far exceeds the span of memory which your perception sees. And that cause is capital C. Consequences of a cause so ancient. It's talking about God. So also I think that could help us along. I also did a search for the word perspective. And from the chapter 1, miracles a rearranged perception and place all levels in true perspective. Chapter 8, section 8. Health is the beginning of the proper perspective on life under the guidance of one teacher, capital T, who knows what life is, being the voice for life itself. Chapter 16, section 6. The bridge itself is nothing more than a transition in the perspective of reality. Chapter 16 as well, section 6. On this side everything you see is grossly distorted and completely out of perspective. The new perspective you will gain from crossing over will be the understanding of where heaven is. He needs only your willingness to share his perspective to give it to you completely. So it's like singing, singing to us of all these reminders that there is another way of looking at the world. That there is another perspective, another perception that is possible. It's not so much what we seem to see in the world, but it's how we are seeing the world. It's how, meaning the lens that we're looking through, either the wrong mind and the egoic lens or the right mind and the holistic perception of the of the Holy Spirit and Jesus, that's our choice. It's like with the old Ghostbusters song, Who You're Gonna Call, and this is more How You're Gonna See. And we wanted to put at the end of that the answer, Holy Spirit, how you're gonna see Holy Spirit. That's a little jingle to remember through the day. I want to see with perspective of the higher mind. I want to be above the battleground. I want to be defenseless. I want to be meek, playful, joyful, happy. I don't want to take any linear perception serious. It's like saying, today I will left myself through the day. And it's going to be the gentle laughter of the Holy Spirit, basically reminding us, don't take anything of this projected world serious. Your peace of mind is more valuable than anything. Let no thing disturb your peace and joy and happiness today. There is another way of looking at the world and that's the happy tune we're singing in our heart. We're grateful that it's there. We're grateful that it's always there. We're grateful that this perspective never changes. It's constant and we can be aware of it and it's lovely constancy and consistency or we could be unaware of it, which is kind of to be lost, believe yourself lost in the dark and wandering in the dark. But the ego is just a sense of inadequacy, it's a sense of unworthiness. The ego is a sense of guilt and when you feel guilt, you look through the ego's filter, you're just looking for little scraps of something to cling to and Jesus is telling us, you know, you're worth so much more than that. You're a creation of God and you are worthy of love and light and happiness and joy because as you were created by God, that's how you were created. And you forever are in this state, whether you're aware of it or not. So this whole idea today, you know, of there is another way of looking at the world is really saying, I will open my mind to the perspective, the perception, the unified awareness that is always there for me, loving me, loving everything, loving everyone. In the man of her teachers, under the section of development for trust, Jesus lists 10 characteristics of a teacher of God starting off with trust and honesty and rolling all the way through coming through to open-mindedness is the last, the 10th characteristic. And he said this is perhaps the last one to come into full demonstration, full fruition. So today, we want to be open-minded and we know that this other way of looking at the world that the lesson is talking about, another way of looking at the world is this higher perspective that basically looks upon the world from a calm, tranquil state of non-judgment. And that's what an open mind is. An open mind is simply a mind that doesn't judge. And hallelujah. Thank you Jesus for demonstrating that on earth and now for giving us this beautiful Course in Miracles text and workbook and manual for teachers. So let's rejoice today in the lesson. There is another way of looking at the world. And we say hallelujah and we say amen. Have a beautiful day. Love you.
