Lesson 43: God Is My Source. I Cannot See Apart from Him.
Description:
In this episode of Deep Dive in A Course In Miracles, we explore Lesson 43: “God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him.” This lesson emphasizes the unity with God as the foundation of true perception. Through a three-phase spiritual exercise, we first observe the world while recognizing God as the source, then reflect on our inner unity with Him, and finally apply this awareness to our interactions. By transcending judgments and negative thoughts, we purify our perception and move closer to divine knowledge. Join us as we delve into this practice, with the repeated affirmation guiding us toward a deeper connection with our Source. 🎧✨
Briefing Doc: Lesson 43 of A Course In Miracles
Main Theme: Unified Vision in God, the Source of All
Key Ideas and Insights:
1. God as the Sole Source of True Vision:
Perception is inherently limited and illusory, but when guided by the Holy Spirit, it becomes a powerful tool to regain the knowledge of God.
“God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him.”
2. The Holy Spirit as the Mediator Between Perception and Knowledge:
The Holy Spirit transforms and purifies our vision, enabling us to see the world and ourselves through the eyes of forgiveness and love.
“Healed perception becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his brother, and thus forgives himself.”
3. Unity with God Implies Seeing Nothing Apart From Him:
Our actions and thoughts are infused with His Spirit.
“Whatever you do, you do in Him, because whatever you think, you think with His Mind.”
Practical Exercises:
1. Three Five-Minute Sessions:
• Repeat the main idea: “God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him,” while observing various objects.
• Close your eyes and allow thoughts that complement the main idea to arise (e.g., “I see through the eyes of forgiveness.”).
• If distracting thoughts appear, return to the first phase.
2. Application Throughout the Day:
• Silently repeat the phrase in the presence of others.
• Use the phrase to respond to situations, especially those causing emotional disturbances.
Conclusion:
Lesson 43 invites us to let go of the fragmented vision of the world and embrace a unified vision through God. By practicing the suggested exercises, we learn to see with the eyes of the Holy Spirit, transcending limited perception and rediscovering our unity with God and all creation.
