Welcome to Active Meditation A Course in Miracles,
Lesson 31 I am not the victim of the world I see.
Open your eyes.
Look about you slowly.
Say to yourself,
Say in your mind two or three times,
I am not the victim of the world I see.
I am not the victim of the world I see.
Close your eyes.
As you sit and quietly watch your thoughts,
Repeat today's idea to yourself as often as you care to,
But with no sense of hurry.
Observe the stream of your thoughts.
Repeat to yourself,
I am not the victim of the world I see.
I'll be silent.
The idea for today is also a particularly useful one to use as a response to any form of temptation that may arise.
It is a declaration that you will not yield to it and put yourself in bondage.
In addition to the three to five minutes in the morning and evening,
Repeat the idea for today as often as possible during the day.
Remind yourself that you are making a declaration of independence in the name of your own freedom,
And in your freedom lies the freedom of the world.
I am not the victim of the world I see.
And as we return to time and space,
We acknowledge,
I am aware.
I am.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
