wow you sure dramatized this lesson of how the ego spins stories in neon technicolor! You crawled right into my mind and I had to laugh out loud as in LOL!!! thanx
0:06 Lesson 26: My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability (sense of being safe) 0:55 If attack can come out of us, it can come to us 2:50 Only your own thoughts can hurt you 3:56 "I am concerned about.." 5:26 "This is an attack upon myself"
You do a great job summarizing each lesson and this explanation and example was a really great one...demonstrating how our ego mind makes stuff up that "could" happen and how many bad things "could" happen thereafter. Phew! I know this Course will calm my attack thoughts. "I will be able to correct the unwanted thoughts that make me feel fear." Yes!
"...moving that allegiance from the ego to the Truth of us...." - such inspiring, meaningful words of wisdom. Thank you, Bless you for your generous sharing of knowledge. xxx
Boy oh Boy, the power of suggestion RIGHT!? I'm aware of how powerful this truly is! The simple law of attraction will work either way for you. Fear plays the big role in this one. Propaganda and listening to T.V. adds about what disorders you might get, comes from FEAR BASED advertising! Pretty soon you've told yourself it's true and guess what? I've learned to reverse that type of thinking to only positive, loving, direct thoughts. When I hear a commercial for pharmaceuticals (average 3 per commercial break), I mute the sound or change channels!! Something to think about, this works for positive thinking! It totally changed my life. Doctors would rather you have something to treat so they & big pharma stay in business!! You can see I'm passionate about this lesson and how important it is ♡
I'm thinking we have to be passionate about following what acim says, as we put the daily requirements into practice... I've noticed, it's like my ego finds a million ways to distract me & have me get to do other things & I have great difficulty reading words of importance as I have a wandering mind with the ADD that seems worse the older I'm getting... Now, whether that is my ego tormenting me with many distractions, that may well be the case! It's only occurred to me today that part of me is persistently avoiding doing any exercises & it's come as a real surprise but as this Lesson says, ask the help of the Holy Spirit. So turning off sound, ignoring fear based advertisements is good judgement to this 63 yo traveller xxx
Oh I like that story that you did about your pretend daughter that you're scared of having diabetes and she doesn't have health insurance. Here's mine I live alone I spend Thanksgiving alone every year I spend Christmas alone every year I forget that everybody else has a family and I know that everybody else has a family but sometimes I forget people get busy and I'm busy too and I go to work work work work work Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday I go to work work work and I fear that I will gain all the weight back that I lost because I'm sitting sitting sitting at work work I do not have time to go to the gym when I come home it's come home fix my dinner clean the kitchen take a shower and go to bed I already wake up in the morning at 4:30 in the morning and I already leave at 6:30 in the morning and I get home around 6:30 or 7:00 p.m. and there is no time for the gym and I'm afraid that I'm going to be forgotten about. I have no friends at work I have no friends in my personal life people do not call me to see how I am doing the people at church don't call me to see are you spending Christmas alone this year do you have a wife do you have any children have you ever had any children do you want to have any children? People for my church don't ask Sandra that question. So I'm afraid that I'm going to gain all the weight back that I lost and I spent so much time losing in 2018 and 2019 and I put a lot of effort in and I'm afraid that I'm going to die alone and then no one is going to be here to know that I died because I live alone and no one is going to know that I died because nobody calls me to check on me. There you go that's the entire fear
So rad! I’ve noticed my thought progressively get worse as I let them “fall down stairs” to the basement of depression before. Kinda interesting for me to go back and kinda regress as I have stopped my thoughts from doing this very thing. Kinda cool
Not necessarily negative thoughts. Any thought that produces any feelings other than peace, happiness, joy etc. I say not necessarily negative because as Carol used in the example “concern for a loved one” would be attack thoughts, although we have probably been taught that being concerned about a loved one is loving.
I’m sorry to say this, but didn’t care for the example but thanks…..sell your house because grown daughter has her own business??? Sorry ……just wish examples could be more realistic
Really appreciate your help Carol.
Really really helpful.

You're amazing, I thank you for simplifying every single lesson, appreciate your all work, send love and peace to you.
Greetings from Egypt
I may spend a few days on this great explanation thank you
Thanks Carol, not just for your insights but for the great example today!
0:06 Lesson 26: My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability (sense of being safe)
0:55 If attack can come out of us, it can come to us
2:50 Only your own thoughts can hurt you
3:56 "I am concerned about.."
5:26 "This is an attack upon myself"
Thank you.
This lesson resonates so much. I am so grateful for your clear explanations. Thank you ❤
I appreciate your lessons here very much.
Thank you!
Nothing like the “speed reading” on these vids

Thank you. Very helpful
I listen to your lesson summaries every day. They are very helpful, thank you .
Thank you for rephrasing the words because I just couldn’t grasp what the original words were saying. Blessings
This is a very important lesson from Carol. It is an illustration of why socialist health care is necessary.
I really felt better after doing this exercise
You've done a great job of highlighting the essence of each lesson, thank you.

Thank you 💖
I've also noticed that "I have TOO MANY attack thoughts!" Can be an attack thought.
Vicious cycle! LOL

Can anyone fully define what is meant by an attack thought? Is this any negative thoughts or specific ones? Thanks in advance
An opposite of a loving thought
Not necessarily negative thoughts. Any thought that produces any feelings other than peace, happiness, joy etc.
I say not necessarily negative because as Carol used in the example “concern for a loved one” would be attack thoughts, although we have probably been taught that being concerned about a loved one is loving.
The Ego LOVES when you are in conflict... if you aren't coming from a place of love, you are coming from ego. Plain & simple
The what if's!!! Fear is opposite of love
