ACIM T-7.VII The Totality of the Realm (Kingdom)

April 8, 2014abstract background withe sea sunrise

To be in the Realm is to be in the Mind of God, or the Higher Mind.  In order to be in the Higher Mind, we must be totally committed to the Higher Mind.  The moment we look to our lower mind, we lose our awareness of our higher mind.  We cannot serve two minds.  This is particularly true because the higher ad lower minds are in conflict.  They have different purposes.  The higher mind is only Oneness.  The Higher Mind created only Oneness and so Oneness is the only reality.  The lower mind makes separation.  It makes separation by making division and limitation.  Oneness and separation cannot exist in the same thought for they are diametrically opposed.  If we turn our thoughts toward separation and limitation, we deny Oneness, for we have placed our belief and trust in the idea of separation.  If we place our trust and belief in Oneness and Unity, the idea of separation and limitation fade into the nothingness they are.  Denial itself is limiting, for there is nothing real to deny, but while we still perceive, Spirit can use denial constructively to guide our thoughts to higher thinking. All power lies in the mind, and so our thoughts determine how we perceive.

 

All that is real is completely shared.  When we perceive some lack, whether in ourselves or another, it is a sign that our thoughts are misaligned with the mind.  Spirit uses our thoughts and our awareness of our thoughts to transform our minds and raise our thoughts to higher thinking.  When another thinks insanely – separation and lack – that one is offering us an opportunity to bless them.  Another’s need is also ours, for we need the blessing we offer them.  There is no way we can receive except by giving.  This is the Law of God.  When we deny anything in another we deny it in ourselves.  So when we deny Oneness in another we deny it in ourselves.  The healing miracle is the reversal of this thought.  With the guidance of Spirit we shift our perception form denying Oneness in another to perceiving Oneness in another and thus recognizing Oneness in ourselves.  Spirit guides us in this shift in perception in steps we can handle.  In this way we shift form the lower mind to the higher mind, opening our minds to the truth about who we really are.  As we continue on this journey, we will find ourselves experiencing the peace, love, and joy that are our natural being.

 

As we move into this awareness, we find ourselves in appreciation of the Realm we have never left.  We have no need of God’s blessing, for we always have that, but we do need our own blessing through the appreciation of all that moves our perception to a higher level.  As we allow Spirit to guide the shift in our perceiving, we release our investment in separation and limitation, letting go of our attachment to the ideas ad thoughts that block our awareness of who we really are.  We need not do this on our own.  Spirit guides us every step of the way as we allow.  Every one we encounter, every experience we experience has a lesson in allowing Spirit to guide the shift in our perception we need at that moment.  We become totally present in the now as we allow Spirit to shift our perception and our thoughts.  Make the choice to allow Spirit to guide your mind to its miracle of healing.  It can only be truly helpful.
