There are a number of you that have been struggling with the longer periods of time that the lessons require. You may be finding it difficult to see that these long exercises are not about adding more work to your day, but actually taking away the work of the world and its fear-based thoughts.

As you go through the lessons, remember that you are learning to look at everyone and everything as being a part of your own mind, even though they seem external. You are retraining your mind to accept this reality, and thus the illusory world of fear and attack is replaced by a world of love and acceptance.

Ideas leave not their source, but change but by your changing mind. 2 And this is true of all things you see.
