The profound spiritual journey begins with the revolutionary statement found in A Course in Miracles Lesson 1: "Nothing I see means anything." This is not a lesson in denial, but the essential first step in retraining the mind to view the world in a completely new light. It serves to clear the mind of all judgments, preferences, and the self-imposed hierarchies of thought that dictate what we perceive as important.
This dedicated practice, central to the system known in Spanish as un curso de milagros, is a call to forgive the world and awaken from the dream of fragmented perception, conflict, and pain. The instruction is to apply this idea very lightly, looking around your immediate vicinity and simply acknowledging that the meaning you assign to objects is an illusion.
By undertaking this commitment, you are setting out on an amazing journey toward eternal peace. The practice guides the mind to a tranquil, calm state that is content to look away from the world of images for identity or meaning. It transcends all upset and difficulty, ushering in the freedom of mind that leads directly to lasting happiness.
