There is no world because it is a thought apart from God, and made to separate the Father and the Son, and break away a part of God Himself and thus destroy His Wholeness. Can a world which comes from this idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny illusions, but accept the truth. Deny you are a shadow briefly laid upon a dying world. Release your mind, and you will look upon a world released.
Today our purpose is to free the world from all the idle thoughts we ever held about it, and about all living things we see upon it. They can not be there. No more can we. For we are in the home our Father set for us, along with them. And we who are as He created us would loose the world this day from every one of our illusions, that we may be free.
You need not realize that healing comes to many brothers far across the world, as well as to the ones you see nearby, as you send out these thoughts to bless the world. But you will sense your own release, although you may not fully understand as yet that you could never be released alone. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 132, W-pI.132.13-14;16. See also ACIM Lesson 132 Insights.)
The “idle thoughts” that make the world come from the belief that separation is real. To release the world we need to let go of the belief in separation. This seems like a threatening idea because we have identified with the body, an image of separation. It seems that to let go of belief in separation would mean the end of our existence.
When we are willing to receive Holy Spirit’s vision in place of our image making in the world, we recognize our true Self — Love’s extension. Instead of losing our identity, which we made up, we gain our true Identity. We lose what was never real and gain our true Reality. We remember we remain at Home in God. We remember we are Love and nothing else as God is.
The fear and guilt that comes with identifying with a separate body is replaced by the joy and innocence given us in our creation. The payoff for letting go of belief in separation is the gift of Heaven. It is surely worth giving up nothing to know that we have everything.
