How could I recognize my own best interests when I do not know who I am? What I think are my best interests would merely bind me closer to the world of illusions. I am willing to follow the Guide God has given me to find out what my own best interests are, recognizing that I cannot perceive them by myself.
To me, the purpose of everything is to prove that my illusions about myself are real. It is for this purpose that I attempt to use everyone and everything. It is for this that I believe the world is for. Therefore I do not recognize its real purpose. The purpose I have given the world has led to a frightening picture of it. Let me open my mind to the world’s real purpose by withdrawing the one I have given it, and learning the truth about it. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 55, W-pI.55.1:2-4;2:2-7. See also ACIM Lesson 55 Insights.)
Our practice for today is to follow the Guide given us by God… Our inner Guide will lead us to a different perception of the world and ourselves… As we are receptive, we will feel the peace and safety inherent in our true Identity as one with all of God’s Love… As we are willing to receive, our true Nature naturally shines forth without any effort on our part… We receive the peace of God and extend the peace of God to everyone in this world.
