1 – Truth.
2 – Purity/Be Only Love.

This was clarifying for me. Sometimes people say they are awakened, and then they do things I do not understand, things that go against my own heart. At this stage, that is all I need to know. What they do goes against my heart. Truth without purity, if that is possible, is not my desire. That does not motivate me. I want truth with purity. I trust that truth with purity, because of what it is, is healing for the world, and I am happy to let that energy flow through me to heal the world.

I have rewritten today’s lesson for me in order to have more motivating power for me. My lesson is:

The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. I am the means God has appointed for the salvation of the world. I am purity, pure peace, pure love, truth unadulterated. That is my nature. My nature is realized through forgiveness.

As I look at this, I feel motivated. Each time I say it to myself, my heart opens. It is the right version of today’s lesson for me. Feel free to find the right version of today’s lesson for you. And then, let additional related thoughts come to you throughout the day.

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.

Nisargadatta says, “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?
