Lesson 30: Love is in everything I see because love is on my mind

Hello and happy Thursday! Today, we’re diving back into “A Course in Miracles.” Specifically, we’re focusing on Lesson 30: “Love is in everything I see because love is in my mind.” In this context, “love” and “God” are interchangeable. Since I don’t follow a particular religion, I’ve chosen to use “love.” Feel free to use whichever term resonates with you.

Understanding Lesson 30

Part 1

The idea for today serves as a springboard for vision. By embracing this idea, the world will open up before you in a new way, revealing things you’ve never seen before. Conversely, what you previously saw will fade from view.

Part 2

Today, we’re using a new kind of projection. Instead of trying to eliminate what we dislike by seeing it outside ourselves, we aim to recognise what is within our minds and see it reflected in the world. This approach helps us join with what we see rather than keeping it apart from us. This is the fundamental difference between vision and mere sight.

Part 3

Apply today’s idea as often as possible throughout the day. Repeat to yourself: “Love is in everything I see because love is in my mind,” while looking around and realising this applies to everything within your sight.

Part 4

Real vision is not limited by concepts such as near and far. To get accustomed to this idea, think of things beyond your current range as well as those you can see, and apply today’s idea to both.

Part 5

Real vision is not limited by space and distance and does not depend on the body’s eyes. The mind is its only source. Practise today’s idea with your eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to mind and looking within rather than without.

Connecting to Your Present Moment

This lesson builds on last week’s lesson, which focused on choosing to see love and positivity in everything. It’s about perceiving situations differently and finding the positives in them.

For example, the author Pam Grout shared that her perfect day was not about activities or events but about being in a joyful state of mind. You don’t need a beach, cocktails, or a massage to experience joy. You can choose to be joyful right now.

When you choose to see love in everything, it’s because love is already in your mind. This mindset allows you to see joy in everything around you. Think about what state of mind would make your day perfect. Tomorrow morning, decide to be in a state of joy, excitement, happiness, abundance, or gratitude. Choose that state and see how it transforms your interactions and your day.
