There is no world! This is the central thought the course attempts to teach.
…healing is the gift of those who are prepared to learn there is no world, and can accept the lesson now. Their readiness will bring the lesson to them in some form which they can understand and recognize.
You are as God created you. There is no place where you can suffer, and no time that can bring change to your eternal state. How 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? To free the world from every kind of pain is but to change your mind about yourself. There is no world apart from your ideas because ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the world within your mind in thought.
I loose the world from all I thought it was, and choose my own [true reality in God] instead. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 132, W-pI.132.7:1-2;9:2-10:3;17:2. See also ACIM Lesson 132 Insights.)
The world we see and experience is a projection from our mind. It represents what we believe is real. This projection comes from the part of our mind that believes separation is real. This belief directly opposes to the fact that we remain one in the oneness of God’s Love.
We are always free to deny that a fact is true. But we cannot make the reality of Love untrue. We only hide it beneath projections of separation. Thus the world we experience is bound by our belief in separation.
We release the ties that bind us to the world by changing our mind about what we believe is real. To let these beliefs go, we have a Teacher in our mind Who is not deceived by our mistaken beliefs. We need to acknowledge that we do not know what anything means to open our minds to our inner Teacher’s lessons in Truth. The practice of asking the Holy Spirit to interpret all appearances on our behalf will lead us to release the world and return to the glorious experience of our Home in Love.
