This isn't a very good way to open a discussion, since you
aren't saying anything. I don't see any need to
"conceptualize" much of what this lesson is saying, beyond
the remark that I presume it means what it says. It mostly
seems quite straightforward to me.

After you got in your dig here, you did continue on. So I will do so
as well...

If everything is mind, and if mind cannot know, then nothing
can know. You need to define "mind" more specifially.

Since you two are agreeing on this, let me ask whoever wants
to answer this-does God have a will? If not, what is meant in
the Course by the Will of God? If so, how can nothingness
have anything so definite and energetic as a will?
Also, is it possible to have an authority problem with
nothingness, and if so, how?

Why not? If there was advance planning for him, why wouldn't there
have been advance planning for us? And if there was advance planning
for us, we were all consigned to become lost sheep from the get go.
A thought which I find revolting.
