IX. Healing as Corrected Perception
2 Wrong perception is the wish that things be as they are not. The reality of everything is totally harmless, because total harmlessness is the condition of its reality. It is also the condition of your awareness of its reality. You do not have to seek reality. It will seek you and find you when you meet its conditions. Its conditions are part of what it is. And this part only is up to you. The rest is of itself. You need do so little because your little part is so powerful that it will bring the whole to you. Accept, then, your little part, and let the whole be yours.

I used to misunderstand that first sentence that says a wrong perception is the desire for things to be as they are not. I thought that meant I should surrender to my story, but now I understand that I can use my story to undo the desire for a story. I also understand that it was my desire for things to be as they are not, that made the story. If the story of Myron is anything but joyful and peaceful, then it is witness to my desire for separation.

Without my desire for separation the world is harmless, and in its harmlessness I abide as the Christ. What a wonderful thing that is! I do have periods of time when I am at perfect peace, when joy is my being. As my mind heals those times are expanding. I would walk this earth as the Awakened Christ, and why shouldn’t I? It is my very nature and will arise in me as soon as I stop repressing it.

My very little and very powerful part is to desire awakening more than I desire the dream, until I finally desire it wholly. I, as Christ, chose the separation experience through the power of my holy Self, the power I inherited from my Father in my creation. Now that I have allowed myself to remember I did this, allowing Reality to return to my mind feels effortless. Until I run into something in my story that feels valuable to me. ~smile~. But even then, I remain the one who chooses and so I choose to let it go as quickly as I am able.
