Letting Go of Mistaken Values

Perception is consistent. ²What you see reflects your thinking. ³And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you want to see. ⁴Your values are determiners of this, for what you value you must want to see, believing what you see is really there. ⁵No one can see a world his mind has not accorded value. ⁶And no one can fail to look upon what he believes he wants.

Fear has made everything you think you see. ²All separation, all distinctions, and the multitude of differences you believe make up the world. ³They are not there. ⁴Love’s enemy has made them up. ⁵Yet love can have no enemy, and so they have no cause, no being and no consequence. ⁶They can be valued, but remain unreal.

It is impossible to see two worlds which have no overlap of any kind. ²Seek for the one; the other disappears. ³But one remains. ⁴They are the range of choice beyond which your decision cannot go. ⁵The real and the unreal are all there are to choose between, and nothing more than these.

⁵It is impossible to see two worlds. ⁶Let me accept the strength God offers me and see no value in this world, that I may find my freedom and deliverance. (A Course in Miracles, W-130.1;4:1-6;5;8:5-6. See also ACIM Lesson 130 Insights.)

It doesn’t seem that we would want to see a world in which everything that seems to live dies. It seems only insanity would want to see an uncertain world where fear and hate, anger and depression dominate everyone’s experience with occasional periods of “happy” relief that do not last. Only an insane mind that is out of touch with reality can believe in this world.

We can reconnect with reality, our sane mind, with the Holy Spirit’s help. His mission is to show us that the world of fear is not real and help us see the real world of Love’s oneness. The oneness of Love means that there are no differences nor distinctions between any part of Love. Love remains the same in its timelessness and eternal extension.

With the Holy Spirit’s help we learn to let go of the wish for specialness and separation. We learn that they have no value. Our real treasure is in the oneness of Love we share with our Creator. In this Love we recognize everyone as part of our one Self, worthy of God’s Love without limit. Today we choose to accept the blessing of God’s Love as our own.
