Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.

1. A problem cannot be solved if you do not know what it is. ²Even if it is really solved already you will still have the problem, because you will not recognize that it has been solved. ³This is the situation of the world. ⁴The problem of separation, which is really the only problem, has already been solved. ⁵Yet the solution is not recognized because the problem is not recognized.

2. Everyone in this world seems to have his own special problems. ²Yet they are all the same, and must be recognized as one if the one solution that solves them all is to be accepted. ³Who can see that a problem has been solved if he thinks the problem is something else? ⁴Even if he is given the answer, he cannot see its relevance.

3. That is the position in which you find yourself now. ²You have the answer, but you are still uncertain about what the problem is. ³A long series of different problems seems to confront you, and as one is settled the next one and the next arise. ⁴There seems to be no end to them. ⁵There is no time in which you feel completely free of problems and at peace.

4. The temptation to regard problems as many is the temptation to keep the problem of separation unsolved. ²The world seems to present you with a vast number of problems, each requiring a different answer. ³This perception places you in a position in which your problem solving must be inadequate, and failure is inevitable.

5. No one could solve all the problems the world appears to hold. ²They seem to be on so many levels, in such varying forms and with such varied content, that they confront you with an impossible situation. ³Dismay and depression are inevitable as you regard them. ⁴Some spring up unexpectedly, just as you think you have resolved the previous ones. ⁵Others remain unsolved under a cloud of denial, and rise to haunt you from time to time, only to be hidden again but still unsolved.

6. All this complexity is but a desperate attempt not to recognize the problem, and therefore not to let it be resolved. ²If you could recognize that your only problem is separation, no matter what form it takes, you could accept the answer because you would see its relevance. ³Perceiving the underlying constancy in all the problems that seem to confront you, you would understand that you have the means to solve them all. ⁴And you would use the means, because you recognize the problem.

7. In our longer practice periods today we will ask what the problem is, and what is the answer to it. ²We will not assume that we already know. ³We will try to free our minds of all the many different kinds of problems we think we have. ⁴We will try to realize that we have only one problem, which we have failed to recognize. ⁵We will ask what it is, and wait for the answer. ⁶We will be told. ⁷Then we will ask for the solution to it. ⁸And we will be told.

8. The exercises for today will be successful to the extent to which you do not insist on defining the problem. ²Perhaps you will not succeed in letting all your preconceived notions go, but that is not necessary. ³All that is necessary is to entertain some doubt about the reality of your version of what your problems are. ⁴You are trying to recognize that you have been given the answer by recognizing the problem, so that the problem and the answer can be brought together and you can be at peace.

9. The shorter practice periods for today will not be set by time, but by need. ²You will see many problems today, each one calling for an answer. ³Our efforts will be directed toward recognizing that there is only one problem and one answer. ⁴In this recognition are all problems resolved. ⁵In this recognition there is peace.

10. Be not deceived by the form of problems today. ²Whenever any difficulty seems to rise, tell yourself quickly:

³Let me recognize this problem so it can be solved.

⁴Then try to suspend all judgment about what the problem is. ⁵If possible, close your eyes for a moment and ask what it is. ⁶You will be heard and you will be answered. (https://acim.org/acim/en/s/482#1:1-10:6 | W-79.1:1–10:6)
