Heaven is the decision I must make.
Heaven is chosen consciously. ²The choice cannot be made until alternatives are accurately seen and understood. ³All that is veiled in shadows must be raised to understanding, to be judged again, this time with Heaven’s help. ⁴And all mistakes in judgment that the mind had made before are open to correction, as the truth dismisses them as causeless. ⁵Now are they without effects. ⁶They cannot be concealed, because their nothingness is recognized.
The conscious choice of Heaven is as sure as is the ending of the fear of hell, when it is raised from its protective shield of unawareness, and is brought to light.
We make the choice for Heaven as we wake, and spend five minutes making sure that we have made the one decision that is sane. ²We recognize we make a conscious choice between what has existence and what has nothing but an appearance of the truth.
⁵Heaven is the decision I must make. ⁶I make it now, and will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want. (A Course in Miracles, W-138.9:1–10:1;11:1-2;12:5-6. See also ACIM Lesson 138 Insights.)
All the images in this world which we have judged as real are mistakes in judgment. These judgments must be taken to the Voice for truth in us to be judged again by the Holy Spirit. This seems to be a never ending need because of the myriad images we perceive.
But by diligently practicing taking all our perceptions to our Teacher within to be judged truly, we learn that they really are all the same decision; the images are unreal. Our learning generalizes. We recognize that all choices between the images of the world and the truth are the same. We realize only truth is true and the world of images is dismissed as meaningless. With this recognition we make the one decision that releases all the mistaken decisions of the past. We decide for the oneness of God’s Love in Heaven.
