Today the lights of Heaven bend to you, to shine upon your eyelids as you rest beyond the world of darkness. ²Here is light your eyes can not behold. ³And yet your mind can see it plainly, and can understand. ⁴A day of grace is given you today, and we give thanks. ⁵This day we realize that what you feared to lose was only [the idea of] loss.
Now do we understand there is no loss. ²For we have seen its opposite at last, and we are grateful that the choice is made. ³Remember your decision hourly, and take a moment to confirm your choice by laying by whatever thoughts you have, and dwelling briefly only upon this:
⁴The world I see holds nothing that I want.
⁵Beyond this world there is a world I want. (A Course in Miracles, W-129.8:1–9:5. See also ACIM Lesson 129 Insights.)
We do not need to strive for anything. Only in this dream does lack seem possible. But we dwell in the House of God where Love is everything. It is already ours. To know this fact we need to be vigilant of our thoughts, that we keep them focused on the truth of What we are.
In the world we do want and seek for the peace and Love of God, only because we have denied that it is ours now. With vigilance, we can recognize the mistaken beliefs which accept that lack as real. We call upon the Holy Spirit to release these thoughts so that we may recognize that we already have everything we want in truth.
With this practice the importance we place upon this world fades. Our attention dwells increasingly on the world beyond this dream. We recognize the Light of Heaven as our Home.
