This week’s Thought from the Foundation for Inner Peace:
“This world of light, this circle of brightness is the real world, where guilt meets with forgiveness.” (T-18.IX.9:1)
The real world is light. Our ability to see the real world is dependent on us allowing the light within us to shine brightly for all to see. There is only one Source, the Divine, and it is within every one of us. This light us eternal. It will never fade or go out. Nothing can ever change this light or harm it. It is ours for eternity. If we don’t see it we are blocking it from our awareness. It is time to remove those blocks and let this light shine so brightly, unimpeded by our attachment to separation.
Yet we have chosen to live this life of separation believing ourselves to be as separate as we appear. In the awareness of our natural spiritual state, we have no needs. We are whole and complete. Yet for a time we have some worldly needs. How do we discern what needs we need and what needs we don’t need. While we have one foot in the world we made and one in the real world. Spirit guides urs every step of the way. All we need do is ask for and watch for guidance form Spirit. It is there in every word spoken, in every action taken. It may not appear to make sense, but Spirit will disclose all we need to know at the appropriate time. Only Sprit knows what we need at any given moment of any day. Let Spirit guide you in everything and attain the real world.
This real world is light and it radiates to all of creation. It cannot hurt us, for it is within us and is the stuff we are created of. The Course says:
Only the Holy Spirit knows what we need. For Spirit will give us all things that do not block the way to light. And what else could we need? In time, Spirit gives us all the things that we need have, and will renew them as long as we have need of them. Spirit will take nothing from us as long as we have any need of it. And yet Spirit knows that everything we need is temporary, and will but last until we step aside from all our needs and realize that all of them have been fulfilled. Therefore, Spirit has no investment in the things that Spirit supplies, except to make certain we will not use them on behalf of lingering in time. Spirit knows we are not at home there, and Spirit wills no delay to wait upon our joyous homecoming. ACIM T-13.VII.12.1-8
Oprn your spirit eyes. Let the light shine in you and in the real world rise up around you in your awareness. It’s already there. It’s already within us waiting for us to let it shine away all darkness from the world. We’re all in thus together. Be One and shine brightly, and see the wholeness of all our brothers and sisters as we allow their light to join ours. It is truly illuminating.
