Today's idea expresses something stronger than mere determination. It gives vision priority among your desires. You may feel hesitant about using the idea on the ground that you are not sure you really mean it. This does not matter. The purpose of today's exercises is to bring the time when the idea will be wholly true a little nearer.
There may be a great temptation to believe that some sort of sacrifice is being asked of you when you say you want to see above all else. If you become uneasy about the lack of reservation involved, add:
Vision has no cost to anyone.
If fear of loss still persists, add further:
It can only bless.
The idea for today needs many repetitions for maximum benefit. It should be used at least every half hour, and more often if possible. You might try for every fifteen or twenty minutes. It is recommended that you set a definite time interval for using the idea when you wake or shortly afterwards, and attempt to adhere to it throughout the day. It will not be difficult to do this, even if you are engaged in conversation or otherwise occupied at the time. You can still repeat one short sentence to yourself without disturbing anything that is going on.
The real question is how often will you remember? How much do you want today's idea to be true? Answer one of these questions, and you have answered the other. You will probably miss several applications, and perhaps quite a number. Do not be disturbed by this, but do try to keep on your schedule from then on. If only once during the day you feel that you were perfectly sincere while you were repeating today's idea, you can be sure that you have saved yourself many years of effort.
You want to see? Then place vision above all your desires.
This lesson is like a love letter to truth. The idea “Above all else I want to see” is not just a resolution, it is a commitment of the heart. You might hesitate, telling yourself you’re not sure you truly mean it, but that doesn’t matter. The goal is to bring you a little closer to the moment when this truth becomes fully real for you. If the idea seems to demand sacrifice, remember: vision costs nothing. It can only bless. So breathe deeply and let this thought dwell within you.
This lesson calls for frequent repetition, at least every half hour, or even every fifteen or twenty minutes. Set a rhythm upon waking and try to keep it. Even in the middle of a conversation or an activity, you can silently repeat this short phrase without disturbing anything. That is the art of this practice: simplicity. No need to withdraw, no need for perfect conditions. Just a gentle, constant reminder flowing through your day like a thread of light.
The real question is this: how many times will you remember? How much do you want this idea to be true? These two questions are one. You may forget many times, and that’s okay. Don’t worry. But if just once today you repeat this phrase with perfect sincerity, know that you have spared yourself years of effort. Every moment of sincerity is a treasure that counts.
Practice:
Today, every twenty minutes, pause for a second and silently say to yourself: “Above all else I want to see.” If fear or doubt arises, add: “Vision costs nothing. It can only bless.” Keep a small notebook or a note on your phone to check off each time you practice, it will help you stay consistent.
Remember: it’s not perfection that matters, it’s the movement of your heart turning toward the light.
