May 25, 2015 - Unseen Realities

ACIM Workbook Lesson #145
Review of: #129 "Beyond this world there is a world I want.  #130 "It is impossible to see two worlds." The main thought to hold to in this review: “My mind holds only what I think with God.”

This is a time of rapid change in thought. Most everyone I meet senses that something important is in the air. As we are becoming aware of unseen realities, we're also experiencing more of ourSelves. We're doing things we never considered possible in the past. We are all waking up to new ways of living -- or is it  old ways of Being?! When my mind 'holds only what I think with God', the world I see and experience is one of common ground amongst everyone and everything. We are not different, you and I. We may have convinced ourselves that the material differences we see in each other make us separate, as well they may. But look past all of that to your heritage as an expression of divine Mind. Release preconceived notions about how things are or should be. Let's allow ourselves this freedom of thought -- and see where it takes us!

ACIM Workbook Lesson #130
"It is impossible to see two worlds."

There is a world of Love, and there is a world of fear. I cannot see them both at the same time. This seems like an easy choice, but fear is often insidious and I may not realize that's what's guiding my choices. I can't know the world of Spirit when I'm thinking from the standpoint of mortal sense. I can't love my neighbors when I'm judging them. I can't hear that "still, small voice" when my thought is full of chaotic chatter. These dualities represent the two worlds we wish to embrace simultaneously, but find we cannot. Everything I do, or say, or think, places me firmly in one world or the other. Moment by moment, I choose what to accept as truth. By consistently turning thought away from mortal concepts and looking to spiritual interpretations, I am choosing the world I want to see. And if I'm not comfortable with what I'm seeing, guess what? I can choose again!

The visible universe and material man are the poor counterfeits of the invisible universe and spiritual man.
