You could say that I am a day behind in my lessons are actually two but according to these lessons there is no concept of time. Lesson 7 & 8 both deal with seeing the past. Your thoughts or people or things you see are to be looked at and then you acknowledge that you only see the past and that your mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.
The objective is that we acknowledge the preconceived notions that we hold on everything. If you live in the present you would have no preconceived notions from past events. As the course says in less than 8 “your mind cannot grasp the present which is the only time there is. The only wholly true thought one can hold about the past is that it is not here. While thoughtless ideas preoccupy your mind the truth is blocked.”
Can you imagine not having any preconceived notions. One of the miracle group participants said she was going to try opening her front door and looking at everything like she had never seen it before. I think this is a really good challenge. So whenever something bothers me I’m going to look at it like that had never happened before and begin to let go of all my preconceived notions.
We also discussed at the group on Friday that any of these lessons could easily be repeated over and over. So I am not going to worry about making sure I do a lesson each day as long as I am going deep and understanding each of the lessons. I may even repeat last week just to let that all sink in and continue to clear my thoughts. I did notice a lot more Harmony in my week last week than I have in a long time.
