The idea for today is the springboard for vision. From this idea will the world open up before you, and you will look upon it and see in it what you have never seen before. Nor will what you saw before be even faintly visible to you.
Today we are trying to use the new kind of projection. We are not attempting to get rid of what we do not like by seeing it outside. Instead, we are trying to see in the world what is in our minds, and what we want to recognize is there. Thus we are trying to join with what we see, rather than keeping it apart from us. That is the fundamental difference between vision and the way you see.
Today's idea should be applied as often as possible throughout the day. Whenever you have a moment or so, repeat it to yourself slowly, looking about you, and trying to realize that the idea applies to everything you do see now, or could see now if it were within the range of your sight.
Real vision is not limited to concepts such as near and far. To help you begin to get used to this idea, try to think of things beyond your present range as well as those you can actually see, as you apply today's idea. Real vision is not only unlimited by space and distance, but it does not depend on the body's eyes at all. The mind is its only source.
To aid in helping you to become more accustomed to this idea as well, devote several practice periods to applying today's idea with your eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to mind, and looking within rather than without. Today's idea applies equally to both.
✨ Summary & practice
The world opens when you discover God within your own mind.
Today’s idea is a springboard into vision. “God is in everything I see because God is in my mind.” From this idea, the world will open before you. You will look upon it and see what you have never seen. And what you saw before will no longer be even vaguely visible. This is a total transformation of your perception, a change of worlds.
Today, we try a new kind of “projection.” Instead of casting out what you dislike by seeing it outside yourself, you try to see in the world what is within your mind. You want to join what you see, rather than keep it apart. This is the fundamental difference between vision and your usual way of perceiving. Instead of separating, you connect. Instead of rejecting, you welcome.
The idea should be applied as often as possible throughout the day. Whenever you have a moment, repeat it slowly while looking around. Include even what is beyond your visual range, for true vision is not limited by distance. It does not depend on the body’s eyes. The mind is its only source. You can also apply the idea with eyes closed, looking inward rather than outward.
Practice:
Several times each hour, pause and repeat: “God is in everything I see because God is in my mind.” Look around you, then close your eyes and apply the idea to inner images. Alternate between the outer world and the inner world. Both are equally valid for this practice.
Each time you repeat this idea, you build a bridge between what you see and what you truly are.
