Learning to Change Our Mind About the World

²There is no world! ³This is the central thought the course attempts to teach.

But healing is the gift of those who are prepared to learn there is no world, and can accept the lesson now. ²Their readiness will bring the lesson to them in some form which they can understand and recognize.

²You are as God created you. ³There is no place where you can suffer, and no time that can bring change to your eternal state. ⁴How can a world of time and place exist, if you remain as God created you?

What is the lesson for today except another way of saying that to know your Self is the salvation of the world? ²To free the world from every kind of pain is but to change your mind about yourself. ³There is no world apart from your ideas because ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the world within your mind in thought. (A Course in Miracles, W-132.6:2-3;7:1-2;9:2–10:3. See also ACIM Lesson 132 Insights.)

This world we experience with the body is not real. It does not exist in truth. What we experience is the effect of our beliefs. We have all experienced changing our beliefs in our lives. Something occurred, a word or sentence was given us or an experience led us to recognize that our belief was mistaken. We changed our belief and our perception of the world changed. This demonstrates that our world is the effect of the thoughts we hold in our mind.

The Course is guiding us to learn a new way of perceiving the world. We have been given a Teacher Whose mission is to guide us to the truth. He will help us use our ability to change our mind about the world. He has a lesson plan carefully prepared to help us learn to let go of our specific self-imposed limitations. As we accept His lessons, we experience increasing peace of mind and recognize the presence of Love in which we live.

Today we practice opening our mind to the Holy Spirit’s lessons. By pausing frequently to let our mind return to peace, this is how we welcome His lessons and continue remembering our true Self, which remains eternally at one with God.
