1-22-15 Lesson 22 Laurie’s Reflections
Thursday, January 22, 2015 Lesson 22: “What I see is s form of vengeance.” Vengeance is defined as “punishment inflicted or retribution exacted for an injury or wrong.” A lot of the time we don’t realize that the ego is actually insane. Our egos are walking around acting like...
1-21-15 Lesson 21 Laurie’s Reflections
Wednesday, January 21, 2015 Lesson 21: “I am determined to see things differently.” This lesson gives us instruction to go beyond what we worked on yesterday. The first eye opener that we had was when Jesus asked us to please have the willingness to simply see. I believe that...
1-20-15 Lesson 20 Laurie’s Reflections
Tuesday, January 20, 2015 Lesson 20: “I am determined to see.” This is one of the most primary of instructions that the Course gives us. If we can’t remember anything else, just focus on this simple instruction. Know that God is giving us the most straightforward of messages. He...

Monday, January 19, 2015 Lesson 19: “I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts.” This lesson says,”You will notice that at times the ideas related to thinking precedes those related to perceiving, while at other times the order is reversed.” Jesus wants us to understand that...

Saturday, January 17, 2015 Lesson 17: “I see no neutral things.” It is especially helpful for our peace of mind when we realize we are going to be able to function perfectly well in the world even after we apply such lessons as today’s to our mindset. The Course’s...
1-16-15 Lesson 16 Laurie’s Reflections
Friday, January 16, 2015 Lesson 16: “I have no neutral thoughts.” We don’t usually notice particularly what our thoughts are. We are totally programmed to have them. We just let this process happen because it seems as basic to life as any other rudimentary aspect. It seems like there...
1-15-15 Lesson 15 Laurie’s Reflections
Thursday, January 15, 2015 Lesson 15: “My thoughts are images I have made.” What strikes me in this lesson are that I am the one responsible for making this whole world I see and my body. I am the one who created this place of insanity and I’ve done...
1-14-15 Lesson 14 Laurie’s Reflections
Wednesday, January 14, 2015 Lesson 14: “God did not create a meaningless world.” We can have a huge sigh of relief. God is not the creator of the meaninglessness. God rather is the ultimate example of order in the form of certainty and love that gets manifested. God doesn’t...
