“Seeing is a peculiar feeling of knowing, of knowing something without a shadow of doubt.”
-Don Juan Matus (Yaqui Sorcerer and teacher of Carlos Castaneda)
This is what it’s all about.
We want to see beyond the world we have created…
You want True Sight!
This is exactly what ACIM is designed to help us with.
Just as an eye doctor has tools to help correct the vision of your physical eye…
A Course in Miracles acts as correction for your inner eye!
Are you ready to make True vision first among your goals?
A Course in Miracles: Day 27
The game for Day 27 is:
Above all else I want to see.
This idea is more than a goal… more than an outcome.
It sets priority among your goals…
You ultimately want this above all else…
Let go of any hesitation… even if this idea isn’t 100% true for you right now… today’s game will bring it closer to being true.
For today’s idea, you will want to practice it, remember it, and repeat it as frequently as possible…
Every 30 minutes is fine… but you might want to increase it to every 20 minutes or even every 15.
Immediately after reading this… repeat the idea several times to yourself (and out loud if possible), and then set the intent to remember and repeat it throughout the day.
A thought from ACIM:
The real question is, how often will you remember? How much do you want today’s idea to be true? Answer one of these questions, and you have answered the other. You will probably miss several applications, and perhaps quite a number. Do not be disturbed by this, but do try to keep on your schedule from then on. If only once during the day you feel that you wee perfectly sincere while you were repeating today’s idea, you can be sure that you have saved yourself many years of effort.
The idea for today might seem like a sacrifice for some…
If this is a challenge, ACIM recommends you say to yourself “Vision has no cost to anyone.”
And, if there is any further reservation, you can also say “It can only bless.”
A Few More Thoughts…
I really enjoy these exercises.
I like feeling like I’m bringing it more into my daily life.
My personal preference is to carry something with me as a reminder. The book itself works fine, or you can use a ring, or a reminder on Outlook, or whatever else works to help you remember and get excited about your coming True Sight…
Above all else I want to see…
Here’s to True Vision!

HI Ben,
Great site, Great podcast on acceptance too — thanks. I’m looking forward to following the Course in MIracles blogs and leaving some comments. For now, just a quick comment on your site: when I click on the category titles (for instance, A Course in Miracles) in the sidebar, they all take me back to the home page. Might want to check into that. Again, thanks for a great site, and I’ll be back with comments soon.

Thank you, William!
I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
And thank you for bringing up the navigation error.
I’ve noticed that the categories do that, or take you back to the old site layout when used in Internet Explorer.
They work fine in Firefox.
So far, my only fix is… Use Firefox..
I’m working on a more universally browser friendly solution.
keep smiling,
Ben

Hi Ben,
I do use Firefox. And the same thing happens on several different computers, all with Firefox.
But enough of this. My real interest is in the content of your blog. I’m looking forward to exploring the archives and to following the current stuff. Great job.
Bill
