Lesson 019: ”I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts.”
AI Reframe: My thoughts ripple outward in subtle ways.
Suggested Exercise:
Three or four times, for about a minute each, start by stating today’s idea:
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts.
Then with eyes closed, indiscriminately search your mind for any thoughts that show up. With each thought you notice, stay long enough to say:
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of this thought about _____________.

Quoting from today’s lesson:
Today we are again emphasizing the fact that minds are joined. ²This is rarely a wholly welcome idea at first, since it seems to carry with it an enormous sense of responsibility, and may even be regarded as an “invasion of privacy.” ³Yet it is a fact that there are no private thoughts. ⁴Despite your initial resistance to this idea, you will yet understand that it must be true if [peace] is possible at all. ⁵And [peace] must be possible because it is the [nature of Love Itself]. (ACIM, W-19.2:1-5)
Again, we’re invited to practice a simple lesson—one that’s not necessarily easy to grasp. As before, though, we’re simply planting a seed of an idea, one that will become clearer with practice as we continue through the lessons.
I’m reminded of the current state of the world and how many of us may feel powerless as individuals to make a difference. Through yesterday’s and today’s lessons, though, we’re reminded that we’re not alone—that we are all connected.
As we continue to transform our inner world through these lessons, and now knowing that our minds are joined, that sense of empowerment transcends the individual and extends into the collective. From this perspective, we are not powerless—we are all powerful.
That being said, just for today, all we need do is simply practice noticing—without judgment, without fear, and without trying to fix anything.
