lesson 15
â??My thoughts are images which I have made.â??
It is because the thoughts you think you think appear as images that
you do not recognize them as nothing.You think you think them,
and so you think you see them.This is how your â??seeingâ??was made.
This is the function you have given your bodyâ??s eyes.It is not seeing.
It is image-making. It takes the place of seeing, replacing vision
withillusions.
This introductory idea to the process of image-making which
you call seeing will not have much meaning for you.You will begin
to understand it when you have seen little edges of light around the
same familiar objects which you see now.That is the beginning of
real vision.You can be certain that real vision will come quickly
when this has occurred.
As we go along,you may have many â??light episodes.â??They may
take many different forms,some of them quite unexpected.Do not
be afraid of them.They are signs that you are opening your eyes at
last. They will not persist, because they merely symbolize true
perception, and they are not related to knowledge.These exercises
will not reveal knowledge to you.But they will prepare the way to it.
In practicing the idea for today, repeat it �rst 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:
â??This _____is an image which I have made.â??
â??That _____is an image which I have made.â?? |
