ACIM T-13.VII The Attainment of the Real World

The real world is no stranger to us really. It is our home. It is where we have always been; before we engaged in this world of form, while we appear to be in this world of form and in every presser moment “ahead of us.” It matters not how the world we see appears to us. The real world – our home – lis where we really are. We are just so caught up in and focussed on the world we made that we don’t see it.

The Course says this:

No one in this distracted world but has seen some glimpses of of the other world about them. Yet, while they still lay value on their own, they will deny the vision of the other, maintaining that they love what they love not, and following not the road that love points out. Love leads so gladly!                  T-13.6.1-3

Love leads us if we will just let go of the value we place on the world we made and lift our spirit eyes and ears to the Voice for Love. What a beautiful ancient song Love calls us to, familiar like no other. We are as safe from pain as the One who watches over us. And the world around us shines with love, for the One placed us in the world of Love. Only because we accept the world of pain we think we see do we block our sight of the world of Love – the real world. So shall we deny the world of pain the instant we perceive the arms of love around us where they always are.

Peace passeth our understanding only in the past. Yet it is here always and we can understand peace now. Placing our trust in Spirit to guide us in our perceiving leads us to the remembrance of peace that is wholly true and wholly ours. And all that is not peace and love will fade into nothingness. The gift the One has always given us is the reality that we are created One with the One and all creation – we are never alone.

We begin by aligning our will with the will of Spirit, allowing Spirit to guide our dreams of peace and then awakening to peace. We exchange nightmares for the happy dreams of love and fear. Attaining the real world is awakening from our dreams of the world of separation. What joy to finally awaken and realize we have never been alone, never been separate. To finally awaken to the joining of all our brothers and sisters in peace and love is a joy we cannot even imagine in the world of separation. Be just a little willing to trust Spirit to awaken us to tne peace and love of the real world. There is rejoicing all around us celebrating our wholeness, yet we miss it because we are seeking outside ourselves. Look within. See the light shining within and watch as that light shines away all thoughts of sin and lack. Watch as the light within shines away all thoughts of brokenness and pain. Watch as the light within shines all hate into nothingness. This light within reveals who we really are to us and reveals to us all that is good, beautiful and holy about ourselves and each other.

Say yes to a little willingness to trust Spirit to guide our thoughts. What we seek will be revealed deep within us right now in this present moment which then extends into eternity. Listen to the call of peace and your glad response will be your reawakening to what you never lost.
