A Course in Miracles (ACIM) begins a radical journey of mind retraining with its first workbook lesson: “Nothing I see means anything.”1 This simple yet profound statement is the foundation for shifting our entire perception of the world, as explored in many insightful a course in miracles videos.
The practice is a devoted exercise in allowing the Holy Spirit to cleanse the mind of deeply held judgments, preferences, and the belief that some things are more important than others. Applying this key principle from a course in miracles lesson 1 is about letting go of the meaning we currently assign to the “world of images.”2 This process allows us to begin forgiving the world and awakening from the painful dream of sickness, suffering, and death.
Lesson 1 is a powerful first step toward true perception and the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is recommended to practice lightly throughout the day, applying the idea to objects in your immediate vicinity. This undertaking leads to “peace Eternal”, a tranquil, calm state of mind that finds its contentment not in external appearances but in internal freedom.
Embracing this first principle without exception offers profound healing of the mind, transcending all perceived conflict and upset. It is the essential opening to an amazing journey toward lasting happiness.
