The review for today covers the following ideas:
(1) Nothing I see means anything. The reason this is so is that I see nothing, and nothing has no meaning. It is necessary that I recognize this, that I may learn to see. What I think I see now is taking the place of vision. I must let it go by realizing it has no meaning, so that vision may take its place.
(2) I have given what I see all the meaning it has for me. I have judged everything I look upon, and it is this and only this I see. This is not vision. It is merely an illusion of reality, because my judgments have been made quite apart from reality. I am willing to recognize the lack of validity in my judgments, because I want to see. My judgments have hurt me, and I do not want to see according to them.

We understand that conceptual consciousness is based on the continuity of ideas emanating from mind in apparent cause and effect relationships.
If you insist, however, on relating them sequentially, your mind will be forever held captive in the necessity of maintaining a limited form of apparent reality based on a past genetic retrospective recall that in truth has nothing at all to do with your present state of consciousness. You are held in the bondage of time exactly by the notion of sequentiality or the distance between cause and effect.
The Truth that cause and effect can never be apart comes with recognition that only your limited self-establishment stands between them. You have invented time and it is absolutely at your disposal. It is important to remember, however, that the act of creating, unlike inventing, is not sequential and there is nothing potential about eternity.
