ACIM Workbook Lesson #130
"It is impossible to see two worlds."
Today we are reminded that we cannot see a world of love and and a world of fear at the same time. We cannot know the world of Spirit when we are thinking from the standpoint of mortal sense. We cannot love our neighbors when we are judging them. These dualities represent the two worlds we wish to embrace simultaneously. But this can't be. Everything we do, say, think, places us firmly in one world or the other. Moment by moment, we choose what we accept as truth. We are learning how to allow our true Self to come forth. One of those ways is remaining receptive in order to experience the guidance which is always available to us. By consistently turning thought away from mortal concepts and utilizing spiritual interpretations, we are choosing the world we want to see. A dear friend once wrote an essay called, "Upper Case Living" in which everyday words are elevated to a holy level when experienced as Spirit. I will think of it as I choose my world today!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Take heart, dear sufferer, for this reality of being will surely appear sometime and in some way. There will be no more pain, and all tears will be wiped away. When you read this, remember Jesus' words, 'The kingdom of God is within you.' This spiritual consciousness is therefore a present possibility.”
