Lesson 8 “My mind is preoccupied with the past.”
This lesson starts with the statement “No-one really sees anything. He sees only his thoughts projected outward.” You may have heard the analogy that says, you think your eyes are receivers, but they are not. Your eyes project your thoughts. NTI says, you take a collection of your thoughts from past learning, learned from judgement and create your own version of reality. Since this collection of thoughts has no meaning because they are made up, unreal, illusory, you aren’t really thinking at all. This lesson says “The mind is actually blank when it does this, because it is not really thinking about anything.” So thinking about the past, our judgments and our fragmented concepts that we believe is what keeps eternity at bay. NTI Romans, Chapter 7 says, “Remember that the universe is a reflection of the past because it is a reflection of a past wish, a past belief in the mind. Remember that your truth waits outside this wish, and your truth is calling you Home.”
