David's commentary: "And so today we begin this major phase of the correction process, as we reverse the thinking of the world entirely. As a sleeping mind we have looked at the world in a very strange way, seeing people, places, events, situations, actions, as causative, and resulting outcomes as effects of these false causes. It has touched everything in our false perception: science, the empirical method, the scientific method: believing that you can experiment with a world of images, of energy, of forces; strange ideas that are believed to be the truth, such as for every action there is a reaction; strange sciences we've called Newtonian physics, based on testing what seems to be an external world and drawing conclusions based on these experiments. Yet THOUGHTS are causative, because thoughts are at the level of mind. So we draw upon our readings from the text, that only mind is causative, that miscreations can seem to be projected to form, but they are impossible. And the transfer value of this lesson is enormous. It takes the body, which is just a learning device, off the hook, off the hook of blame. What does that mean? It means that bodies are not creative, bodies do not cause anything, no body harms any other body, no body is ever sick or made sick, no body causes anything. Bodies coming together are as meaningless as bodies going apart. Now we begin to see the meaning of 'projection makes perception', that you did not come to a pre-existing world; but egoic thoughts, judgements, grievances, attack thoughts, produce the hallucination of a world that seems to be outside, but it's not. We start to realize that the body is simply neutral, a learning device that the Holy Spirit can use to heal the mind, to bring the mind back to right-mindedness. --And all of this foolishness about level confusions as if there are different levels in form when, actually, right-mindedness shows the wholeness of mind, and shows the impossibility of levels. THIS is what healing is. And it's so simple. The ego will try to defend against the simplicity with all kinds of intellectual schemes and analysis, hierarchies, systems; but the truth is so simple.

David's commentary, continued: "And this idea today, 'My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world', puts causation in true perspective. You think you think the thoughts, and then you think you see the thoughts. And if you release these thoughts, you will no longer see these thoughts - in terms of perception. It's the first step in showing a mirroring that seems to be occurring WHILE you still believe these thoughts are real. Your brother is the mirror in which you see the perception of yourself, as long as the perception lasts - until the Light of Revelation, the Great Rays of Light and Truth, are seen to be Reality. In this world of brothers and sisters there seems to be nothing but false perception, never true, not true for an instant. So today's idea is a big step in opening to an actual experience of the real world of true perception, of the unified Field that quantum physicists talk about, in which everything is completely connected, everything is whole, everything is one in awareness: this beautiful, holistic perception in which there is no doer, because there is no personality. God is no respecter of persons, the Bible teaches us - how true. God creates in Spirit, and Spirit is one forever. Now in order to approach this idea, it means you have to let go of everything in the linear world of perception, because the linear world of perception is nothing but false cause-effect relationships, spurious cause-effect relationships that have no meaning, whatsoever. It means you have to see the impossibility of the idea that any-body hurts any-body, any-body hurts any-body's feelings. Let go of all people pleasing; people CAN'T please people, people were made by the ego - images endowed with a false sense of a private mind and private thoughts. And it means letting go of the self-concept, whatever you think yourself to be, whatever you believe yourself to be: a man, a woman, a person, a doctor, lawyer, mother, father, sister, brother. As you go deeper into the idea for the day, you go past student concepts, teacher concepts; you sink inward, deeper and deeper and deeper, into the vastness of mind; and you lay aside these silly egoic self-concept goals, that were made to try to offer you a substitute reality, a substitute sense of worth, and a substitute sense of love - these are just thoughts. And they seem to be producing a very, very meaningless world. And so today, this instant, very liesurely, in a very relaxed way, we practice with this idea for today, and we rejoice that this is the beginning of the reversal of the thinking of the world. No longer are we bound to believe that the world causes how we feel, that the world causes us to do things. We are free of the belief that this is a world of scarcity and lack and hostility, as we rise up in the abundant experience of mind, opening to the awareness of divine mind, a mind that could never miscreate, a mind that could never misuse the power of God to make something OTHER than God's love. Today we forgive the belief in the misuse of the power of mind, by seeing: 'My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world'."
