David's commentary: "So if we really summarize and simplify this beautiful lesson today, what we're being taught is: I'm not alone in how I see this world, that all minds are joined and that the entire perception of the entire cosmos is being generated from the thoughts I think I think - these thoughts are what I think I see. This is how it seems to be happening. When I seem to see a brother or a sister, I'm not seeing an image outside of my mind. I'm simply beholding the thoughts that are crossing consciousness, with all the judgements of attraction and repulsion, good and bad, right and wrong. HOW is this happening? It is holding onto these thoughts, and then perceiving them as if they're something ELSE coming from somewhere ELSE, some OTHER PERSON, some OTHER ENVIRONMENT, that's perceived to be outside the body. And yet the body is part of the perception. Everything that I think I think about what seems to be my own body is part of this perception. The world is not outside the body. The body, the environment, the world, are all thoughts that I am beholding by holding onto them. This is how the entire cosmos is generated. There is no world apart from what you wish. There is no world apart from what you think, because this wishing and thinking is IN consciousness, is IN mind. So therefore, this IS a world of ideas. There is no physical world. Everything is an idea. Everything is mental. This is HOW the world appears. And 'I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing'. Everything is unified. Everything is mind. Everything is these thoughts. This is such an important admission. So today, every time you are tempted to think or believe that you are a person, reacting and responding to external stimuli, external people, external actions and reactions, come back, come back to the mind. Watch your thoughts, and remember how you are seeing, how you are perceiving. It's all mind. It has ALWAYS been mind. It will never be anything BUT mind. And there's just ONE MIND. And you will see how this eliminates this crazy idea of victimization, because there is no one to be victim, and nothing to be the victimizer. If everything is mind, there IS no projection. Mind reaches to itself; it does NOT go out. Think of that today: it does NOT go out. There's nothing beyond mind. And that is why 'I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing'."
