…sink down and inward, away from the world and all the foolish thoughts of the world. You are trying to reach past all these things. You are trying to leave appearances and approach reality.
It is quite possible to reach God. In fact it is very easy, because it is the most natural thing in the world. You might even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way will open, if you believe that it is possible. This exercise can bring very startling results even the first time it is attempted, and sooner or later it is always successful. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 41, W-pI.41.7:2-8:5. See also ACIM Lesson 41 Insights.)
We have already been given the vision we need to see past the appearances of the world. This vision does not come through the body’s eyes, but through an inner vision in our mind. It is the vision of our true Self, which sees only truth.
We welcome this vision by taking time to relax and let ourselves settle into the quiet mind of our true Self. We let the distracting thoughts of the world pass by without giving them attention. We focus our attention on the reality of Love. Without our attention, the thoughts of the world fade and we become more aware of the Love that is everywhere.
We see how Love connects us to everyone, everywhere. We see that behind the forms of the world, Love is there. We feel the peace of Love’s changelessness and we see how to express and extend Love in the world. Appearances of problems are seen as opportunities to let Love show us the way.
Love’s expression in the world can solve all appearances of problems. As we let Love be our guide in all things, we find peace and we experience the joy of joining in Love.
