This is not so!

Anything I make up by perceiving it through the body’s eyes is all the same; it is all taking place in time and space.  It is all illusion.  Obviously, perception is the same with all my senses:  smelling, hearing, tasting, feeling.

Perception did not exist until the separation introduced degrees, aspects and intervals.    T-3.1:5

Experiencing the “thisness” of all things is a big step in helping me forgive all things.

I just love it that Jesus makes this clear to us in His Lessons 81-90, reviewing Lessons 61-80.  Each Lesson contains three applications.

Here is an example from Lesson 82:

Let me not use this to hide my function from me.
I would use this as an opportunity to fulfill my function.
This may threaten my ego, but cannot change my function in any way.

In His Reviews, He uses this 50 times.

It is so helpful to remember that this is not so.

Here are the applications in the Reviews.

Let me not obscure the light of the world in me.
Let the light of the world shine through this appearance.
This shadow will vanish before the light.

Let this help me learn what forgiveness means.
Let me not separate my function from my will.
I will not use this for an alien purpose.

Let peace extend from my mind to yours, [name].
I share the light of the world with you, [name].
Through my forgiveness I can see this as it is.

Let me not use this to hide my function from me.
I would use this as an opportunity to fulfill my function.
This may threaten my ego, but cannot change my function in any way.

My perception of this does not change my function.
This does not give me a function other than the one God gave me.
Let me not use this to justify a function God did not give me.

This cannot separate my happiness from my function.
The oneness of my happiness and my function remains wholly unaffected by this.
Nothing, including this, can justify the illusion of happiness apart from my function.

Let me not see an illusion of myself in this.
As I look on this, let me remember my Creator.
My Creator did not create this as I see it.

This is no justification for denying my Self.
I will not use this to attack love.
Let this not tempt me to attack myself.

Let me not use this as a block to sight.
The light of the world will shine all this away.
I have no need for this. I want to see.

Let this not tempt me to look away from me for my salvation.
I will not let this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my salvation.
This has no power to remove salvation from me.

God's plan for salvation will save me from my perception of this.
This is no exception in God's plan for my salvation.
Let me perceive this only in the light of God's plan for salvation.

I am choosing between misperception and salvation as I look on this.
If I see grounds for grievances in this, I will not see the grounds for my salvation.
This calls for salvation, not attack.

This cannot hide the light I will to see.
You stand with me in light, [name].
In the light this will look different.

Let me perceive this in accordance with the Will of God.
It is God's Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as well.
This is part of God's Will for me, however I may see it.

This cannot show me darkness, for the light has come.
The light in you is all that I would see, [name].
I would see in this only what is there.

My perception of this shows me I believe in laws that do not exist.
I see only the laws of God at work in this.
Let me allow God's laws to work in this, and not my own.

Behind this is a miracle to which I am entitled.
Let me not hold a grievance against you, [name], but offer you the miracle that belongs to you instead.
Seen truly, this offers me a miracle.

I would not hold this grievance apart from my salvation.
Let our grievances be replaced by miracles, [name].
Beyond this is the miracle by which all my grievances are replaced.

This presents a problem to me which I would have resolved.
The miracle behind this grievance will resolve it for me.
The answer to this problem is the miracle that it conceals.

I need not wait for this to be resolved.
The answer to this problem is already given me, if I will accept it.
Time cannot separate this problem from its solution.
