We are afraid of the world we perceive. No matter where we are on this journey, we still harbor some sort of fear towards the world we see. We have taught ourselves all we believe about the world we perceive and the God we perceive. We even fear the God who created us out of Love, for we have misperceived even God. We have misperceived it all, the world, our Source and Creator, the Holy Spirit and each other. We have looked at Love and perceived something fearful of it. Is it any wonder we are afraid of the world we see? Our Creator gave us the power to create like ourselves just as we are created like our Creator. However, we have made like we perceive ourselves and thus made a perceived world that has no more substance than perception. And therein lies the problem. We perceive a world that is not real because we perceive it through the lens of mistaken beliefs. Our task now is to find the answer to our problem of misperception.
The answer lies in our freedom to choose. No matter what we have chosen to believe, we cannot harm or damage the truth about us. Our divine nature is within our being. We are whole, complete, limitless and free as we are created. We share all this with each other as One in our Natural state of being. Source and Spirit are within that Oneness, too. We are the Holy One and the Holy One never fragments of lessens. It can only grow by extending ever increasing Love. How do we begin our awakening?
You believe in a world that takes, because you believe that you can get by taking. And by that perception you have lost sight of the real world. You are afraid of the world as you see it, but the real world is still yours for the asking. Do not deny it to yourself, for it can only free you. Nothing of the One will enslave Us whom Source created free and whose freedom is protected by the One’s Being. Blessed are you who are willing to ask the truth of Source without fear, for only thus can you learn that the Answer is the release from fear. ACIM T-11.VIII.7.2-7
We are free to choose a different perception. And we have a guide in Spirit, One with our true Self, who will guide us in the way of correct perception. All we need do is ask and relinquish our attachment to the fearful world we have perceived. Love is our true nature and Love is our all-powerful Source. The seemingly dark and fearful world fades to nothing in the light of Love as we allow it to flood our awareness. The real world rises in its place allowing the awareness of peace, love and joy to rise in us and radiate from us.
It is time to stop deceiving ourselves with mistaken beliefs and misperceptions and allow Spirit to guide our minds in joining the One Mind we already are. Separation and misperception cannot remain in the awareness of our true nature. The real world must rise in our minds as we allow Spirit to guide us.
In the real world there is no sickness, for there is no separation and no division. Only loving thoughts are recognized, and because no one is without your help, the Help of Source goes with you everywhere. As you become willing to accept this Help by asking for It, you will give It because you want It. Nothing will be beyond your healing power, because nothing will be denied your simple request. What problems will not disappear in the Presence of Source’s Answer? Ask, then, to learn of the reality of each other, because this is what you will perceive in each of them, and you will see your beauty reflected in them. ACIM T-11.VIII.10.1-6
This is our quest. We find our own Divine nature reflected in our brothers and sisters as we allow our perception to be guided by Spirit. Nothing must change outside of us, for there is nothing real outside of us. Love wells up within us and transcends the world we thought we saw outside ourselves. Choose the Answer Spirit holds within our mind today. We have always had the answer but never saw it there. Accept Spirit’s offering and release all else we are hanging on to. What is real will remain. And what is not real will simply fade away. Make the choice for the Answer today and relinquish the problem altogether.
