I've recently quit reading the front of the book and find just reading the daily lesson works better for me. Buddhist perceptions and practices have give me a foundation for the course without which it would make little sense. I had trouble with yesterday's lesson which was: 'I am determined to see.' Today I changed the language to: "I want to see and accept the gift of sight given me." Framing it in that way worked. I realized that saying "I am determined to see" made it seem like a matter of will, something I could/should will to happen. Reframing it felt more true to me. It's all very interesting. Every day and every lesson brings its own unique experience. Yikes and wow and oh my goodness! Yes, I substitute language that seems more true to my own experience and sense of things.

In my understanding, it is OK to substitute your own language when you might feel more comfortable with words with which you are more familiar. In Course language, the form is not so important, but the content is. I too will hit an occasional lesson which brings on sadness. I feel that if I am experiencing such sadness, there must be a big lesson in there for me to learn. Gary Renard's teachers suggest that study groups are more social exercises than learning ones - but all group interactions can be used as forgiveness lessons! Peace!

I am only on Lesson 13 today, though I began the course 20 days ago. So far, what I have been practicing with the course is familiar to me, similar to the Buddhist concepts I've been working with - though the language is different. I like the day-to-day practices the course offers with each idea building on the previous. I'll see where it leads me. It was after Lesson 9, "I see nothing as it is now," that I took some time off. I felt such sadness as I practiced this lesson that I needed recupe time. I went to a study group in Pleasanton but decided not to join as they select passages at random for reading and discussion. It seemed most of them have been practicing for a while. If anyone knows of a group in my area, I'd be interested to hear about it. Peace and well-being, BJ Hi Michael and all bloggers,
