The world is an illusion. Those who choose to come to it are seeking for a place where they can be illusions, and avoid their own reality. Yet when they find their own reality is even here, then they step back and let it lead the way. …To let illusion sink behind the truth and let the truth stand forth as what it is, is merely sanity.
This is the simple choice we make today. The mad illusion will remain awhile in evidence, for those to look upon who chose to come, and have not yet rejoiced to find they were mistaken in their choice. They cannot learn directly from the truth, because they have denied that it is so. And so they need a Teacher Who perceives their madness, but Who still can look beyond illusion to the simple truth in them.
Step back in faith and let truth lead the way. You know not where you go. But One Who knows goes with you. Let Him lead you with the rest. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 155, W-pI.155.2:1-3,6;3;10:3-6. See also ACIM Lesson 155 Insights.)
In the world it seems that we are vulnerable to myriad forms of threats to our well being. We spend our days building defenses to protect our little domains and seeking for love to fill the perceived lack of love. Yet this is all illusion, for we remain Love as Love created us, safe and whole.
We need help from One Who sees what we perceive but does not believe in the illusion of isolation and vulnerability in the world. This is our inner Teacher Who goes with us, always ready to help us see the truth beyond the illusion. As we learn to accept the Truth as true, the illusion fades and Truth lights our way. As we practice following the way of Truth — the way of Love — we demonstrate that we can free ourselves from the hell of belief in separation. We teach by our demonstration and bring our brothers with us as we step back and let Truth lead the way.
