The Course tells us a lot about Reality; that is, Reality as it is created. It also tells us about a “reality” we made up as a result of our belief in separation; the belief that we can be separate from our Creator and each other. This made up “reality” is the world we think we see. It is a result of our belief in separation. It is perceived through our belief that limitation, lack, attack, defense, imperfection, and incompleteness are possible and do exist. The world we think we see is perceived through the lens of separation and is thus misperceived by the egoic thought system to which we have given control of our thoughts and our minds. We have used judgment to make division appear real. Thus we are constantly trying to maintain our part of “reality” by placing value judgments on all we encounter, experience and think.
The Course asks us to relinquish our judgments about the world we think we see. It asks us to release our attachment to our thoughts and ideas we hold about the world, our experiences and each other. The Course tells us that everything real is of equal value and everything not real has no value for it doesn’t really exist except in our minds. Our Creator has created us whole, One with the Creator and One with all of Creation. Every aspect of creation contains and is all of Creation. Not one iota of Creation is separable from another. Creation is an extension of the Creator and our Creations are extensions of us as we co-create with the Creator. We each contain and share with each other all that the Creator is.
The Reality of Creation is the Will of the Creator, or the Will of all Creation. This will is a shared Will. It is ours whether we think we want it or not. And we really do want it for it brings the awareness of our completeness to our Mind. To accept our completeness, to accept our Divine wholeness and Love is to accept Reality and the reality of who we really are. We have never actually been anything other than that reality. We have simply blocked our awareness of our Divine wholeness. We are the essence of Love that our Source is. We come from that Source and carry that Source in the depths of our being. Letting that Source essence shine from within us as we go about our lives in this perceived form is our happiness. It is our natural state of being. It is Heaven on earth.
This may sound totally impossible and perhaps insane if we try to understand this from our egoic thought system. And it is virtually impossible to make this shift in thought and belief while we hold on to a belief in separation. But as we accept the idea of Reality into our minds, Spirit moves in us to assist us in perceiving this world differently. Spirit guides our perception to correct the misperceived ideas we are so attached to. Spirit asks us simply to be willing to allow Spirit to show us another way to perceive whatever is blocking our awareness of who we really are. The only real thing in Creation is Love. We are meant to be the communicators of Divine Love to the world. Love guides us in this communication as we allow it. Are we willing to begin to manifest Love in this world? Are we willing to let it shine within us and let it shine in others so they may see it shining for themselves? Accept the reality of Reality into your mind and allow Spirit’s guidance to transform your perception and all perception as we open to our collective One Mind. We are the Reality of Oneness and Love. Let its full effect into your awareness of who we really are and be that Love.
