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 used thus far, and all subsequent ones as well. Today's idea is the whole basis for [[vision]].

You will probably find this idea 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]] the [[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 will understand today's [[idea]] perfectly. And you will not understand how you could ever have found it difficult.

In addition to the assigned [[practice]] periods, repeat the idea for today at least once an hour, looking slowly about you as you say the words unhurriedly to yourself. At least once or twice, you should [[experience]] a sense of restfulness as you do this.
