No one remains in hell, for no one can abandon his Creator, nor affect His perfect, timeless and unchanging Love. You will find Heaven. Everything you seek but this will fall away. Yet not because it has been taken from you. It will go because you do not want it. You will reach the goal you really want as certainly as God created you in sinlessness.
No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth, and it is truth we seek to reach today. We will …ask to see the rising of the real world to replace the foolish images that we hold dear, with true ideas arising in the place of thoughts that have no meaning, no effect, and neither source nor substance in the truth.
For several minutes watch your mind and see, although your eyes are closed, the senseless world you think is real. Review the thoughts as well which are compatible with such a world, and which you think are true. Then let them go, and sink below them to the holy place where they can enter not. There is a door beneath them in your mind, which you could not completely lock to hide what lies beyond.
Put out your hand, and see how easily the door swings open with your one intent to go beyond it. Angels light the way, so that all darkness vanishes, and you are standing in a light so bright and clear that you can understand all things you see.
You cannot fail today. There walks with you the Spirit Heaven sent you, that you might approach this door some day, and through His aid slip effortlessly past it, to the light. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 131, W-pI.131.5;10:2-3;11:5-8;13:1-2;14:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 131 Insights.)
Our true Self remains in Heaven, where God created It to be. We have hidden this Self from our awareness under layers of illusions of bodies which seem more real because of the belief we invest in them. We make the choice for this belief in every moment. But we can make another choice.
Today we choose to set these beliefs aside for a moment and let our thoughts sink past them to the center of peace within — our true Self. Here we find Its radiant Light that is God’s Love. This Love dispels the darkness of our fear-based thoughts. It reminds us that we are still the Love we were created to be, safe in Heaven. This is the truth we seek, the Love we thought we lost but remains forever What we are.
