The practicum
The purpose is to train the mind to align with the course and therefore truth, reality, God, the kingdom
First part negating false
Second part establishing truth
The purpose of the workbook is to train the mind in a systematic way to a different perception of everything in the world. ²The workbook is divided into two sections, the first dealing with the undoing of the way you see now, and the second with the restoration of sight.
Just do one lesson a day
Do as much as you can throughout the day
You can do it anytime anywhere. And do it as many times as you want to or can
The aim of many of the early lessons is to learn how to see
Practice the lessons everywhere you can - so that you learn to apply it to everything
Realize that every practice and its lesson is applicable to everything
⁴The aim of the exercises will always be to increase the application of the idea to everything. [CE W-In.5:4]
Don’t make any exceptions for anything
one exception held apart from true perception makes its accomplishment anywhere impossible. [CE W-In.6:3]
Some of the ideas you will find difficult to believe, and others will seem quite startling. ²It does not matter. ³You are merely asked to apply them as you are directed to do. ⁴You are not asked to judge them or even to believe them. ⁵You are merely asked to use them. ⁶It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and show you they are true.
