A Course in Miracles Lesson #130
"It is impossible to see two worlds."
Today's lesson reminds us 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 seek to embrace. But this can't be. Everything we do, say, think, plants us firmly in one world or the other. Moment by moment, we choose what we accept as the 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. Very recently, by an avenue opened through these daily writings, I have had a book brought to my attention which I didn't know existed. It's entitled, "Your Divinity Revealed", by Helen Wright. It speaks to concepts I hadn't thought of before in connection to the writings of Mary Baker Eddy. In the early 1900s, a group of people explored the supposition that she had written a new language, a spiritual language, centered around the seven synonyms for God, which are well-known to readers of Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures. By a thorough understanding of these capitalized words, (Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love) we are able to apply them to all of experience, allowing them to be spiritualized in thought and realized in the demonstration of Oneness. By consistently turning thought away from mortal concepts and utilizing spiritual interpretations, we are choosing the world we want to see. A close friend once wrote an essay called, "Upper Case Living". I will think of it as I choose this 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.”
