ACIM T-17.II The Forgotten World

April 18, 2017

What is the forgotten world?  I believe it is the real world.  It is the world we closed ourselves off to when we decided to believe we were separate from Oneness.  It is the world where perception is not needed and when it is, it is very clear.  We see with our Spirit eyes and minds.  The real world is Heaven.  We realize we are One with all our brothers and sisters.  We deny no one our forgiveness, love and compassion. We recognize the Divine nature of every element of creation and rest in the awareness that there is nothing that doesn’t have a higher holy purpose.  We have remembered our own divine nature and the divine nature of all others regardless of how we or anyone else appears.  We have forgiven our misperceptions, for they are past and we have stepped into the present where all past is gone.

 This loveliness is not a fantasy.  It is the real world, bright and clean and new, with everything sparkling under the open sun.  Nothing is hidden here, for everything has been forgiven and there are no fantasies to hide the truth.  The bridge between that world and this is so little and so easy to cross, that you could not believe it is the meeting place of worlds so different.  Yet this little bridge is the strongest thing that touches on this world at all.  This little step, so small it has escaped your notice, is a stride through time into eternity, beyond all ugliness into beauty that will enchant you, and will never cease to cause you wonderment at its perfection.   T-17.II.2:1-6

Look on the world you see, however it appears.  Look at all of it and leave nothing hidden from your mind.  Forgive all of it.  Release it all to Spirit, the Higher Holy Spirit Self within you.  You need not explain anything, make excuses or try to defend any part of it.  The Higher Self within us will brush away all that is not real and leave what is light and true and of value in eternity.

The real world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the world you see without forgiveness.  The great Transformer of perception will undertake with you the careful searching of the mind that made this world, and uncover to you the seeming reasons for your making it.  In the light of the real reason that the Transformer brings, as you follow the Transformer, the Transformer will show you that there is no reason here at all.  Each spot the Transformer’s reason touches grows alive with beauty, and what seemed ugly in the darkness of your lack of reason is suddenly released to loveliness.  Not even what the One Child of Oneness made in insanity could be without a hidden spark of beauty that gentleness could release.   T-17.II.5:1-5

All this beauty will rise to bless your sight as you look upon the world with forgiving eyes.  For forgiveness literally transforms vision, and lets you see the real world reaching quietly and gently across chaos, removing all illusions that had twisted your perception and fixed it on the past.  The smallest leaf becomes a thing of wonder, and a blade of grass a sign of the One’s perfection.   T-17.II.6:1-3

We are lifted easily into our home from the forgiven world.  And there we know we have always rested in peace.  We remember this forgotten peace as we draw back the veil we used to hide our Oneness from the separation we so firmly believed.  It disappears in an instant as we align our minds with our Oneness.  All the world is transformed as we allow ourselves to see the wonder in each bit of Creation and see its inherent perfection.  Allow your Spirit eyes to see the wonder and perfection in yourself and each other as you are lifted up to higher ground where you can see.  Be free of the misperceptions of your past thoughts and remain in the present where the forgotten world is remembered.
