Tips From Regina – Lesson 62, Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world
What is forgiveness? It is letting go of the untrue and placing attention with the true instead.
When you read A Course in Miracles, it is helpful to know that the thoughts its scribe suffered from were attack thoughts. Her mind fiercely attacked nearly every person she ever met. There were a few people who sparked compassion in her, but the majority of her experience was one of attack. Since this was her primary experience, the Course focuses on attack. After all, she was writing this Course for herself.
Each one of us must begin this journey of forgiveness from where we are now. There is no place else to start. That means one thing we can each do is become familiar with the types of thoughts that plague our mind the most, and begin by letting go of those thoughts first.
In my story of ‘The Code,’ I was focused on letting go of hate thoughts. That job was big enough for me at that time. There were other times on my journey when I was focused on letting go of expectations of others, of thoughts of foreboding or of self-judgment. Now I am letting go of simple busyness of mind, which I can finally see is nothing but fear-energy.
If you notice your thinking patterns, and then sit down and contemplate what you see with inner wisdom, what type of thinking is helpful for you to focus on first? What type of thinking causes you the most unhappiness now? If you pick one genre of thought that causes unhappiness in you and begin by focusing forgiveness on that type of thought, you can make progress fairly quickly (in weeks or months) with one type of thinking. From that, you will increase forgiveness skills and you will see genuine results. You will have the actual experience of more freedom. This encouragement will increase both your willingness and confidence.
As you contemplate today’s workbook lesson, why not ask within, “Where shall I begin the process of forgiveness?” See if some genuine insight comes. If it does, begin this journey by practicing forgiveness with those thoughts with vigilance.

“The overall pointing is: just the ego must be transcended. Some people say ‘kill it.’ I say you cannot kill what does not exist. You can only expose its unreality and there is no more to it. To kill it, you need to become a killer, and you do not need to kill anything. Once it is seen that it is just a thought, — really seen and experienced – that illusion is dispelled. It is finished.” Mooji

Tips From Regina – Lesson 61, I am the light of the world
Here are some things to contemplate as you contemplate today’s workbook lesson:
In our reading from ‘I Am That’ at the last Gentle Healing Group, Nisargadatta pointed to your reality as that which “imparts reality to all it touches.” I said that your reality, awareness/attention, is the light of the world, and I asked you to be aware of that as you contemplate today’s lesson.
Nisargadatta said, “One could say that the true becomes the father of the false.” How do we “impart reality” to the false? With that in mind, how can we accept our “role in salvation” instead of imparting reality to the false?
Can you look during your contemplation periods today and see that you are awareness? Can you see that you are more intimately awareness than the body? More intimately awareness than the mind?
What gives power to a thought and makes it seem meaningful? Can you see that it is your attention that makes a thought seem meaningful?
What causes an emotion like anger or jealousy to become manifest in your body? Can you see that attention on thought creates emotion? Can you see for yourself that your attention is an activating force?
Notice that you have freewill regarding where you place your attention/awareness. Play with that during one or two of your contemplation periods. Place attention on different feelings in your body, on different sounds, and different sights. Notice you are the caster of attention.
What does your freewill regarding attention have to do with salvation? What does freewill regarding attention have to do with “all the images you have made about yourself”? What does your freewill regarding attention have to do with ‘fathering the false’ or realizing truth?
