Gentle Healing Year 1 Tip For Lesson 62
Tips From Regina – Lesson 62, Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world
What is forgiveness? It is letting go of the untrue and placing attention with the true instead.
When you read A Course in Miracles, it is helpful to know that the thoughts its scribe suffered from were attack thoughts. Her mind fiercely attacked nearly every person she ever met. There were a few people who sparked compassion in her, but the majority of her experience was one of attack. Since this was her primary experience, the Course focuses on attack. After all, she was writing this Course for herself.
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.

Gentle Healing Year 1 Tip For Lesson 61
Tips From Regina – Lesson 61, I am the light of the world
Here are some things to contemplate as you contemplate today’s workbook lesson:
In our reading from ‘I Am That’ at the last Gentle Healing Group, Nisargadatta pointed to your reality as that which “imparts reality to all it touches.” I said that your reality, awareness/attention, is the light of the world, and I asked you to be aware of that as you contemplate today’s lesson.
Nisargadatta said, “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?

Gentle Healing Year 1 Tip For Lesson 60
Tips From Regina – Regina’s Review, Lesson 60
Review 46. God is the Love in which I forgive. I am ready for advanced forgiveness now. Advanced forgiveness is letting go of all ego thought, even that which appears benign and necessary, like thinking through a problem that needs to be solved. Letting go of ego can feel like letting go of ‘me.’ However, the spaciousness in which this happens and the spaciousness that remains when it is done, is what I am. Let me prepare myself for this completion by resting deeply in myself frequently so that I become familiar and the ego feels strange and out-of-place.
Review 47. God is the strength in which I trust. In order to forgive, I cannot rely on the judgment I have trusted in the past. That judgment is thinking. The mind itself is ego; it calls thinking, ‘me.’ It feels safe with itself. But my error is confusing it with the light that I am. Let me know the light as myself by resting deeply in the light frequently. In the light, I am detached from the mind. In the light, I know myself.
Review 48. There is nothing to fear. All fear comes from the belief that I am the body-mind. The body is vulnerable. The mind can suffer. But I am neither. I am the light that imparts reality because I am reality itself. Reality is invulnerable to anything that comes and goes with time. Let me know myself by placing attention with myself frequently. As I see what I am as myself, I know there is nothing to fear.
Review 49. God’s Voice speaks to me all through the day. All I need to do is listen. Listening is a simple shift of attention. I shift attention from habitual thinking to that which is in the heart now, from past and future to presently guiding. It is not difficult. All it takes is the desire to leave the ego for truth. Desire paired with trust.
Review 50. I am sustained by the Love of God. Fear of God comes from the belief that I am different than God. In seeing myself as the same, there is nothing to fear. There is mystery, but mystery can be trusted. I rest knowing mystery can be trusted, and I am the light.
