[Karen-ulhd]

Hi Tina, thank you! I would like you to know that I'm using these teachings today in the year 2024. I am grateful to Jesus for his wisdom and to you for giving voice to him. Happy New Year!

[knuddaugaard]

Thank you Tina for your fantastic work. In 2023, we are a group of 9 who have chosen to support each other through the journey in a workbook with your and mrJ's comments. Physically, we are located in Denmark and Sweden, respectively.

5❤- I am never upset for the reason I think.
Apply these words to every upset, fear, worry, etc. Whatever comes up for you today practising; 1st what is the upset, worry, fear, etc. and then 2nd stating what I believe caused that upset or fear.

[jadjitiemann]

LESSON 5. I am never upset for the reason I think.

W-5.1. This idea, like the preceding one, can be used with any person, situation or event you think is causing you pain. 2 Apply it specifically to whatever you believe is the cause of your upset, using the description of the feeling in whatever term seems accurate to you. 3 The upset may seem to be fear, worry, depression, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy or any number of forms, all of which will be perceived as different. 4 This is not true. 5 However, until you learn that form does not matter, each form becomes a proper subject for the exercises for the day. 6 Applying the same idea to each of them separately is the first step in ultimately recognizing they are all the same.

W-5.2. When using the idea for today for a specific perceived cause of an upset in any form, use both the name of the form in which you see the upset, and the cause which you ascribe to it. 2 For example:

3 I am not angry at ___ for the reason I think.
4 I am not afraid of ___ for the reason I think.

W-5.3. But again, this should not be substituted for practice periods in which you first search your mind for "sources" of upset in which you believe, and forms of upset which you think result.

W-5.4. In these exercises, more than in the preceding ones, you may find it hard to be indiscriminate, and to avoid giving greater weight to some subjects than to others. 2 It might help to precede the exercises with the statement:

3 There are no small upsets. 4 They are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind.

W-5.5. Then examine your mind for whatever is distressing you, regardless of how much or how little you think it is doing so.

W-5.6. You may also find yourself less willing to apply today's idea to some perceived sources of upset than to others. 2 If this occurs, think first of this:

3 I cannot keep this form of upset and let the others go. 4 For the purposes of these exercises, then, I will regard them all as the same.

W-5.7. Then search your mind for no more than a minute or so, and try to identify a number of different forms of upset that are disturbing you, regardless of the relative importance you may give them. 2 Apply the idea for today to each of them, using the name of both the source of the upset as you perceive it, and of the feeling as you experience it. 3 Further examples are:

4 I am not worried about ___ for the reason I think.
5 I am not depressed about ___ for the reason I think.

6 Three or four times during the day is enough.

[innermist]

Wonderful, thank you so much Tina. A great help on our path to freedom from being 'alone, fearful and powerless'.

[rowenaaquino]

Thank you Yeshua and Tina for this wonderful lesson! I've just started my second year with the Course in Miracles lessons. I finished studying the 365 lessons in 2019, and i felt it was just the beginning of a lifelong and miraculous process of clarifying my mind. This lesson is one of my favorites too and having a second go at it gives me a whole new facet that I didn't see the first time. Healing my perception of the world is very crucial to my peace of mind. I can't thank Yeshua and Tina enough for bringing through this teaching. I'm committed to the Course in Miracles for life, or until I'm here on the 3d plane.
