September/Chapter/Manual-Question 15 on Lesson Three | One Plan

While Lesson 2, and now 3, is part of the plan that we believe in and put into action, chapter 15, in natural progression, talks about the plan in general:

C15:3:11:1–2: If you are wholly willing to leave salvation to the plan of God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for peace yourself, salvation will be given you. Yet think not you can substitute your plan for His.

More talk about the plan continues in section four, paragraphs three and four.

So, by declaring through Lesson 3 that we do not understand anything we see (i.e., by giving up our plan) we're in a position to learn how to gain understanding through lack of judgment:

C15:5:1:3–5: Judgment always rests on the past, for past experience is the basis on which you jugde. Judgment becomes impossible without the past, for without it you do not understand anything. You would make no attempt to judge, because it would be quite apparent to you that you do not understand what anything means.

With the purpose of seeing everything as it is now, we're striving through Lesson 3 to let go of our past interpretations/assumptions of past experiences, which we are imposing on everything we see under the guise of "understanding."

In a state without understanding, we're in a position to be taught anew what we are actually seeing.

Manual question 15 elaborates on our sense of judgment vs what true judgment is.
