Our true state of being is Oneness, in unity, of One Mind. Our journey is the return to the awareness of our unity, Oneness, with God, each other, and all of Creation. All of life in this world of perception is for the purpose of remembering and reconnecting with the awareness of who we really are. Heaven is our natural state. The peace and joy of Heaven are ours right now whether we are aware of it or not. There is nothing like the joy of reconnecting with that peace and joy through the love we share with each other through the guidance of Spirit. What we believe about ourselves and each other determines how we perceive the world. Do we like what we are perceiving? Are we feeling peaceful, loving, and joyous about everything? We have Spirit within us to help guide us to the state of blissful being that is ours. All Spirit needs is a nod, the OK to guide our perception.
Our perception is based on our beliefs. So if our beliefs are mistaken we will perceive a mistaken world around us. It will not be understandable because it can’t be understood from a mistaken thought system. We may be able to convince ourselves that an isolated bit of the world we perceive makes some sense, but it will be limited. Spirit can work with what we have made up and guide us in the reinterpretation of all we have perceived and give us a real and right understanding of the world. Since we are all One, our new perception comes through our relationships. Each one we encounter on our journey has some lesson to offer us as we have a lesson to offer them. The perfect lesson is there in that relationship and is realized through the guidance of Spirit. As we turn to Spirit and ask for guidance, we allow Spirit to reinterpret what we thought we understood and allow new understanding to well up in our mind. The understanding is not new, for it has always been within us, but it is new to our awareness.
The Course has taught us that giving and receiving are the same. In a like manner teaching and learning are the same. Spirit uses the world we perceive as a learning tool. It is neither good nor bad, but is the perfect learning tool. We learn by teaching, and we teach by learning. For as we correct our perception of ourselves we correct our perception of another. In that correct perception of ourselves and another we have extended the Love of God to all of creation. Once we have corrected our perception of each other we have joined with each other and rediscovered our Oneness. We reconnect with our true nature. We have reawakened our awareness of the realm of Heaven which is our home, the home we never left. The truth about us is in this reawakening. We remember our Divinity, our peace of mind, and our ever extending love that comes from the Divine nature within our true Self. We share this peace, love and joy with all of Creation. We are limitless in this awareness. Say “yes’ to Spirit’s guidance right now. We have nothing to lose but a misperceived perception of our world. What we gain is the awareness of the realm of Heaven all around us and the ever abundant love of the Divine flowing through and around us. Let it be so this very moment.
