ACIM T-7.IX The Extension of the Realm (Kingdom)

abstract background withe sea sunriseMay 6, 2014

Our Self-fullness is boundless, for it comes from spirit and is created in us by our Source.  What can this realization bring but peacefulness and joyfulness?  Our Self-fullness extends forever to the limitless extent of the universe and to eternity.  The belief in our wholeness and perfection – our creation – leads us to the knowledge of our wholeness and our divine essence.  This is the Realm of Heaven.    Living in Self-fullness is our place, our spiritual home.  Only the belief that we are separate from Source and each other can keep us from the awareness of who we really are.  Spirit is the bridge between our spirit and the idea of separateness that continually reminds us that we are One and beckons us back to the awareness of our Self-fullness.

 

Our Source-given power lies in our Self-fullness.  Nothing can deny this power.  Nothing can take it away.  And, it can be used only to result in Divine purpose.  This Divine power lies under everything we see or think we see.  This power lies even under all our misperceptions.  Allowing Spirit to guide our perception reveals the interpretation beyond the appearance of any situation or thing.  This transforms the world we think we see into the Realm of Heaven.  Peace, joy and love well up within our minds as we allow Spirit to guide us in our perception.

 

Where is our focus at this moment?  Where is our attention focused at this moment?  Be aware of where.  The underlying focus of our mind determines how we perceive the world around us.  If our mind’s underlying focus is based in a belief that we are separate and alone, we will perceive the world around us through this lens.  But if we shift our mind’s underlying focus to a belief in our wholeness and Self-fullness, we will perceive the world around us through a completely different lens, the lens of the Holy Spirit.  Spirit shows us the interpretation that reflects the higher holy meaning of what we see.  Our function is to learn to rely on the belief that we are whole, perfect and divine as we are created.  Understanding this from the Mind of Source is not arrogant.  It is sane.  It understands that we are all as whole, perfect, complete and divine as the next.  It also understands that any interpretation that is not guided by Spirit and Self-fullness is merely a misinterpretation and will not last.

 

Living our lives from the belief in and knowledge of our wholeness places our awareness in the Realm of Heaven.  This is the Will of Source for us and our will, too.  What more could we want than to be full of joy, full of love, and full of peace?  Focusing our minds on our Self-fullness raises our minds to this awareness.  We are meant to be happy, peaceful, joyful, and filled with love right now, this very moment.  Allow the awareness of who we really are to raise up in our minds.  Allow Spirit to guide our minds in this shift.  It has been said, “What we believe we will see.”  Believe in your Self-fullness rather than your separateness.  And see the Realm of Heaven within you right now extending to all others and Source and to the very ends of eternity.  We are, as One, limitless.
