Gentle Healing Year 1 Tip For Lesson 25

Today’s Workbook lesson explains the foundation of misperception. The foundation of misperception is the ego.

Here’s a review from previous tips:

From the tip for Lesson 1 – “Mistaken perception is perceiving and interpreting the world through a self-centered mental filter, known as the ego. The ego is basically a mental program that has been built throughout your lifetime. It tells you who you are, what everything you experience is, and it gives self-referencing meaning to everything you perceive. Meaning that is created through self-referencing is mistaken perception, because it defines what you see and experience in terms of ‘you’ and what ‘that’ has to do with ‘you.’”

From the tip for Lesson 10 – “You are not who you think you are, and the thoughts that speak to you as if you are this person, are illusions. That is why your thoughts are meaningless. They appear to be self-centered, self-referencing thoughts, but the self they are centered on and referencing is not who you are.”

Since you view the world through self-referencing thoughts, but you are not the self those thoughts refer to, you do not know what anything is for. You think you know what it’s for in relation to who you think you are, but you are wrong about who you think you are. Therefore, you are wrong about everything.
