“What you project or extend is real for you. This is an immutable law of the mind in this world as well as in the realm of God. However, the content is different in this world, because the thoughts it governs are very different from the Thoughts in the Realm of God.” (T-7.II.2.4-6) We are responsible for our thoughts and so our thoughts determine the world we see and experience. Whether we have chosen to align with a thought system based on separation or based on Oneness and the Thoughts of God, this law applies to us and we see the results of our thinking. There is nothing inherently good or bad in this, it just is. The Course tells us again and again that we are responsible for the world we see, and we are. But there is no lasting harm in our perceiving. The Course is teaching us to heal our perception and thus our way of thinking. And God has given us Spirit to guide our way in learning to change our thinking and perceiving.
Healing thoughts are the only kind of thinking in this world that resemble the Thought of God, and easily translate to it. When one perceives themselves as sick or separate, they are really seeing themselves as not whole, or in need. If we also see that one the same way, we are seeing that one absent and separated from the Realm of God, thus making the Realm obscure to both of us. Sickness and separation are not of the Realm, but wholeness and Oneness are. We each live in this world with our own set of circumstances, experiences, and perceptions, thus our own thoughts. And because of the law of the mind we either experience separation or wholeness based on how we think. This law is adapted to whatever situation we are in at the moment and the health of our perception determines our experience. If we are perceiving in a healthy manner, we will experience infinite peace and joy. If we are perceiving in an unhealthy manner, we will experience something less.
One immutable thing we must remember; we are Whole and One with our Source, each other, and all of Creation. This has always been, is now, and always will be. Only our awareness of this fact can be obscured by our own mistaken thought system. When our thinking is outside the Mind of God, the law of mind adapts to “What we project, we believe.” And so every thought we think outside the Realm teaches us separation. But, as we allow healing to come to our mind and our thoughts as guided by Spirit, we relearn correct or healed thinking. Our healed thoughts will take on many different forms all perfectly adapted to our unique situations to provide the ideal lessons for us to learn. The lessons are all the same at their core, for there is only one problem; that we are thinking and perceiving outside the Mind of God. The one solution is to return our thinking to the Mind of God. There will still appear to be many forms as we continue to live in this world, but we will see and experience this world differently and will be filled with the abundant peace and joy of the Realm. Choose to let Spirit guide your thinking and return to the awareness of who you really are.
