It's confusing.
Have you read the first book? It really helps. It also helps to just stick with questioning your thoughts. I wouldn't worry so much about any larger meanings just yet. Those tend to take care of themselves once you've examined your thoughts long enough. Besides, trying to figure out what the ramifications of The Work are beyond the thoughts you are questioning is very likely a way for the mind to retreat back into justifying its story as opposed to simply finding out what's true.

And ditto what Angela said!
