Finding What We Truly Want

³The only purpose worthy of your mind this world contains is that you pass it by,…

Pause and be still a little while, and see how far you rise above the world, when you release your mind from chains and let it seek the level where it finds itself at home. ²It will be grateful to be free a while. ³It knows where it belongs. ⁴But free its wings, and it will fly in sureness and in joy to join its holy purpose. ⁵Let it rest in its Creator, there to be restored to sanity, to freedom and to love.

Give it ten minutes rest three times today. ²And when your eyes are opened afterwards, you will not value anything you see as much as when you looked at it before. ³Your whole perspective on the world will shift by just a little, every time you let your mind escape its chains. ⁴The world is not where it belongs. ⁵And you belong where it would be, and where it goes to rest when you release it from the world. ⁶Your Guide is sure. ⁷Open your mind to Him. ⁸Be still and rest.

Protect your mind throughout the day as well. ²And when you think you see some value in an aspect or an image of the world, refuse to lay this chain upon your mind, but tell yourself with quiet certainty:

³This will not tempt me to delay myself.
⁴The world I see holds nothing that I want. (A Course in Miracles, W-128.2:3;6-8. See also ACIM Lesson 128 Insights.)

Everything the ego values is worthless. It will not bring us lasting happiness or peace. It is an expression of the denial of Love, so it cannot offer Love. Only our belief in this false world seems to give it value.

We are free to change our belief in every instant. We open to this change as we recognize nothing in this world can give us what we truly want. Our true Self wants only to give the Love it freely receives from Its Creator. This is where we find joy and peace. This is how we know we are Love and nothing else.

Today we accept the Holy Spirit’s help to see the Love that surrounds us and join with It in joyous peace.
