What have we invested ourselves in? Where have we placed our value? The indication of our self-value is where we have aligned our mind. When we invest our allegiance in the world outside of us, we impoverish ourselves. There is no profit in the world outside of us for there is nothing real there to invest in. Our perception of the outside world is purely conjecture for we have made it out of a mistaken premise that we are separate from it. There is no separation in reality. Our investment in a world outside of us cost’s us the world’s reality by denying our own reality and gives us nothing in return. We cannot sell our soul, but we can sell our awareness of our soul, thus we don’t recognize our true selves while we are invested in something else.
We do have strength even though we don’t realize it. This, from the text:
The Holy Spirit is your strength because Spirit knows nothing but the spirit as you. Spirit is perfectly aware that you do not know yourself, and perfectly aware of how to teach you to remember what you are. Because Spirit loves you, Spirit will gladly teach you what Spirit loves, for Spirit wills to share it. Remembering you always, Spirit cannot let you forget your worth. For the Creator never ceases to remind Spirit of Us – the One Child of God, and Spirit never ceases to remind Us of the Creator. The One is in your memory because of Spirit. You chose to forget your Creator but you do not really want to do so, and therefore you can decide otherwise. As it was my decision, so is it yours. T-12.VI.2.1-8
It is our decision to make. Do we want the world outside as we perceive it or do we want the world love extends in our thoughts. The world is in our thoughts so we must choose our thoughts and world with the guidance of Spirit who holds our reality for us.
In our belief in separation we blind ourselves to real vision. We end up seeing through the lens of perception which clouds and skews all we see. And we, having invested in that lens, believe it to be real. It appears to be outside of us because it is completely incompatible with the reality that remains within us. Yet, it blocks our awareness of what is within us. Within us is also the Vision of Christ. Spirit has held that for us as well and kept our true Vision whole. We cannot see with both visions, because our seeing based in separation is completely incompatible with our true Vision. When we choose to allow Spirit to guide our seeing, we will surely see the real world. We must learn the cost of seeing incorrectly through misperception and choose to place our investment in our Divine wholeness and the Heaven within us. We have denied the reality of our true self for so long that it may seem impossible to make the shift. Yet we need not do it alone. In fact it may be virtually impossible to do it alone. Spirit is waiting for our assent to allow It to move within us where It already is One with us. We are One. We are One with all Creation. Not a single bit of Reality is apart from us. This realization is the key to the awareness of who we really are.
What is one cannot be perceived as separate, and the denial of the separation is the reinstatement of knowledge. At the altar of the One, the holy perception of Us becomes so enlightened that light streams into it, and the spirit of Us shines in the Mind of the One and becomes one with it. Very gently does the One shine upon All, loving the extension of the One that is Us. The world has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of the One. For the real world has slipped quietly into Heaven, where everything eternal in it has always been. There the Redeemer and the redeemed join in perfect love of Oneness and of each other. Heaven is your home, and being in the One it must also be in you. T-12.VI.7.1-7
Our true nature is the most natural thing we can imagine. Once we invest in the awareness of our Oneness we will wonder why we ever believed and thought differently. Our peace, joy and love is in this shift to the awareness of the Divine One we truly are in Communion with all Creation. Release all and let it go, for Spirit will draw us into the awareness of who we really are. This is what is.
