Thoughts on the 1st Review of the workbook lessons, and its
brilliant capsule review of Lesson One..
W-pI.51.1. (1) Nothing I see means anything.
2 The reason this is so is that I see nothing, and nothing
has no meaning. 3 It is necessary that I recognize this,
that I may learn to see. 4 What I think I see now is taking
the place of vision. 5 I must let it go by realizing it
has no meaning, so that vision may take its place.
As I look over that first lesson title, I'm struck with the
thought of what a wonderful and provocative line to
begin the workbook with!
"Nothing I see means anything."
It introduces a dilemma and it establishes two key concepts to
frame that dilemma: *sight* and *meaning*. The dilemma is
that *my sight is presently divorced from meaning* !!
Note please, that I'm NOT at all being told that there is
nothing meaningful TO see.. Only that what I presently
see lacks *meaning*.
