Heaven itself is reached with empty hands and open minds, which come with nothing to find everything and claim it as their own. We will attempt to reach this state today, with self-deception laid aside, and with an honest willingness to value but the truly valuable and the real. Our two extended practice periods of fifteen minutes each begin with this:
I will not value what is valueless, and only what has value do I seek, for only that do I desire to find.
And then receive what waits for everyone who reaches, unencumbered, to the gate of Heaven, which swings open as he comes. Should you begin to let yourself collect some needless burdens, or believe you see some difficult decisions facing you, be quick to answer with this simple thought:
I will not value what is valueless, for what is valuable belongs to me. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.133.13-14)
In every now moment, we have the opportunity to receive the gift of true perception from the Holy Spirit. To receive the gift we need to be willing to set aside the values we have given to the images in the world. We need to have a quiet, open mind. When we are willing, the Holy Spirit takes us past the stories of the world to show us our true inheritance.
In truth, we are pure Spirit That has been given all That is. God has shared all of Himself with us. We already have all Love. As we accept the Love we are, we naturally share it equally with everyone, because that is the nature of Love. When we stop valuing the valueless, we accept what we have been given and really are. We accept Love and extend only Love.
