It is impossible to see two worlds which have no overlap of any kind. Seek for the one; the other disappears. But one remains. They are the range of choice beyond which your decision cannot go. The real and the unreal are all there are to choose between, and nothing more than these.
Today we will attempt no compromise where none is possible. The world you see is proof you have already made a choice as all-embracing as its opposite. What we would learn today is more than just the lesson that you cannot see two worlds. It also teaches that the one you see is quite consistent from the point of view from which you see it. It is all a piece because it stems from one emotion, and reflects its source in everything you see.”
You wait for God to help you, as you say:
It is impossible to see two worlds. Let me accept the strength God offers me and see no value in this world, that I may find my freedom and deliverance.
God will be there. For you have called upon the great unfailing power which will take this giant step with you in gratitude. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 130, W-pI.130.4-5;8:4-9:2. See also ACIM Lesson 130 Insights.)
We are not asked that we see a world of separation with differences, conflict, loss, fear and guilt. We see this because we believe our identity and existence depends upon bodies and images of separation being real. So it seems that if we give this up, we will seem to cease to exist. Our seeming existence depends upon the belief that this world is real.
But we are told there is another way of seeing from another point of view. This other point of view is from the oneness of Love, where only Love is real. In this oneness, there is no conflict nor condemnation. We are directed to ask God for His strength to see no value in the world presented by separation. With His help we shift from valuing an individual identity to valuing the freedom to be the unlimited Love that is given us with all its joy and peace.
We learn that this reality is available to us now. We truly want God’s Love, peace and joy. In this, our eternal existence is guaranteed, for God’s Love is changeless. With God’s strength in us, we value the truth of Love as our being. A separate image in a world of differences and conflict loses its value. We no longer want it. We let that world go, not by demand but simply setting aside what we no longer value. This is the choice to leave hell and return to Heaven.
