Lesson 020: ”I am determined to see.”
AI Reframe: I choose to shift toward clearer, truer perception.
Suggested Exercise:
Every 30 minutes, slowly and positively, repeat today’s idea.
I am determined to see.
Let go of any stress if you happen to forget to do so, however you’re encouraged to make a real effort to remember. These repetitions should be applied to any situation, person, or event that upsets you.

Message
With today’s lesson, we’re reminded why we chose The Course in the first place. We want to be free from fear. We want happiness. We want peace. According to the Course, we don’t consistently experience these things because our minds are “totally undisciplined”—and at this stage, not very good at telling the difference between joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, love and fear.
But we’re learning. Slowly. Gently. We’re beginning to tell them apart.
Our determination—our willingness—to truly see is all this new vision requires. That’s it. No convoluted rituals. No hoop jumping. Just willingness.
It brings to mind the adage: a journey of a thousand steps begins with a single step. Regularly applying today’s idea throughout the day becomes the next step toward seeing differently. And what we truly desire, we will see.

“Today, I see and create a radically new vision, one where everyone wins, everyone gets a seat at the table.”
