⁶Pursuit of the imagined leads to death because it is the search for nothingness, and while you seek for life you ask for death. ⁷You look for safety and security, while in your heart you pray for danger and protection for the little dream you made.
Yet searching is inevitable here. ²For this you came, and you will surely do the thing you came for. ³But the world can not dictate the goal for which you search, unless you give it power to do so.
Be glad that search you must. ²Be glad as well to learn you search for Heaven, and must find the goal you really want. ³No one can fail to want this goal and reach it in the end.
No one remains in hell, for no one can abandon his Creator, nor affect His perfect, timeless and unchanging Love. ²You will find Heaven. ³Everything you seek but this will fall away. ⁴Yet not because it has been taken from you. ⁵It will go because you do not want it. ⁶You will reach the goal you really want as certainly as God created you in sinlessness. (A Course in Miracles, W-131.2:6–3:3;4:1-3;5. See also ACIM Lesson 131 Insights.)
We are all searching for Love. But when the ego is directing our search, as the song says, “We are searching for love in all the wrong places.” The ego does not want us to find the Love that created us. Because if we find God’s Love and accept It, the ego would disappear into the nothingness from which it came.
We can be comforted by the fact that we will find the Love we seek, because God’s Love is all of Reality. His Love was never withdrawn from us, His one Son. It remains ours eternally, making our unity with our Father unbreakable.
