This world will bind your feet and tie your hands and kill your body only if you think that it was made to crucify God’s Son. For even though it was a dream of death, you need not let it stand for this to you. Let this be changed, and nothing in the world but must be changed as well. For nothing here but is defined as what you see it for.
How lovely is the world whose purpose is forgiveness of God’s Son! How free from fear, how filled with blessing and with happiness! And what a joyous thing it is to dwell a little while in such a happy place! Nor can it be forgot, in such a world, it is a little while till timelessness comes quietly to take the place of time. (A Course in Miracles, T-29.VI.5-6. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
The world we see is an outward picture of what we believe we are. If we identify with the ego thought system, we believe we are a separate entity, separate from our Source and separate from all things. Believing we are separate from our Source, we think we are separate from God’s strength and from Life Itself. Thus the world we see shows us images of lack, loss and death. This is the purpose the ego has given it.
But if we choose to align with the Holy Spirit, our true Self, we can give the world another purpose. When we align with the Holy Spirit, the purpose of the world becomes forgiveness of all our mistaken beliefs. Every experience becomes an opportunity to free ourselves from belief in lack, loss and death. Forgiveness has the power to restore awareness of Heaven to our minds. It has the power to return us to the experience of God’s peace and joy.
Today we can take another step closer to remembering that we remain God’s Son as we were created. We are still limitless Love and nothing else.
