Lesson 30 - God In All I See

Lesson 30: God Is in Everything I See Because God Is in My Mind

Description:

In this episode of Deep Dive in A Course In Miracles, we explore Lesson 30: “God is in everything I see because God is in my mind.” This lesson teaches us to shift our perception by projecting the presence of God onto the world, focusing on divine connection rather than negativity. Through the practice of repeating the affirmation throughout the day, whether with eyes open or closed, we cultivate a spiritual vision that transcends physical limitations. Join us as we dive into this transformative practice, uniting the observer and the observed in the light of divine presence.

Briefing Doc: A Course In Miracles - Lesson 30

Main Theme: Cultivating “vision” by recognizing the presence of God in everything we see.

Key Ideas:

• Changing How We See: This lesson emphasizes not ignoring what we dislike but projecting onto the world what we wish to recognize—the presence of God. “Rather, we are trying to see in the world what is in our minds, and what we want to recognize is there.”

• Unity Over Separation: The exercise aims to unite us with what we see and realize that we are not separate from the external world. “This is the fundamental difference between vision and the way you see.”

• Transcending Physical Limitations: The “vision” described here goes beyond the constraints of space and distance. It does not rely on the body’s eyes but on the mind. “Not only is real vision not limited by space and distance, but it does not depend on the body’s eyes at all.”

• Inner Vision: The exercise can be practiced with eyes closed, focusing on mental images. Inner vision is as significant as external vision. “Today’s idea applies equally to both.”

Practical Application:

• Repeat the phrase: “God is in everything I see because God is in my mind” throughout the day.

• Apply this idea to everything you see, whether near or far.

• Practice the exercise with eyes closed, concentrating on mental images.

Conclusion:

Lesson 30 of A Course In Miracles invites us to develop a new way of seeing the world, grounded in the recognition of God’s presence in everything. This vision, transcending the limits of physical perception, fosters unity with the world and a deeper experience of reality.
