God Is!

My very first step to opening a way to vision came when I was not preoccupied with past thoughts or in anticipation of the future. I was in the present moment now! I saw a vision of something written in my mind, and it read, GOD IS.
"When vision has shown you the holiness that lights up the world, you will understand today's idea perfectly."
Lesson 29
God is in everything I see.
(Workbook for Students ACIM)
"The idea for today explains why you can see all purpose in everything. It explains why nothing is separate, by itself, or in itself. And it explains why nothing you see means anything. In fact, it explains every idea we have thus far, and subsequent ones as well. Today's idea is the whole bases for vision."
"You will probably will find this idea very difficult very difficult to grasp at this point. You may find it silly, irreverent, senseless, funny and even objectionable. Certainly God is not in a table, for example, as you see it. Yet we emphasized yesterday that a table shares a purpose of the universe. And what shares the purpose of the universe shares the purpose of its Creator."
"Try then, today, to begin to learn how to look on all things with love, appreciation and open-mindedness. You do not see them now. Would you know what is in them? Nothing is as it appears to you. Its holy purpose stands beyond your little range. When vision has shown you the holiness that lights up the world, you'll understand today's idea perfectly. And you will not understand how you could ever have found it difficult."
"Our six two-minute practice periods for today should follow a new familiar pattern:
Begin with repeating the idea to yourself to yourself, and then apply it to randomly chosen subjects about you, namely each one specifically. Try to avoid tendency toward self-directed selection, which may be particularly tempting in connection with today's idea be4cause of its wholly alien nature. Remember that any order you impose is equally alien to reality."
"Your list of selection subjects therefore be as free as all self-selection as possible. In addition to the assigned practiced periods, repeat the idea for today at least once an our, looking slowly about as you say the words unhurriedly to yourself. At least once or twice, you should experience a sense of restfulness as you do this."
