The Path That Leads to Heaven’s Love

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.

⁵For several minutes watch your mind and see, although your eyes are closed, the senseless world you think is real. ⁶Review the thoughts as well which are compatible with such a world, and which you think are true. ⁷Then let them go, and sink below them to the holy place where they can enter not. ⁸There is a door beneath them in your mind, which you could not completely lock to hide what lies beyond.

Put out your hand, and see how easily the door swings open with your one intent to go beyond it. ²Angels light the way, so that all darkness vanishes, and you are standing in a light so bright and clear that you can understand all things you see.

You cannot fail today. ²There walks with you the Spirit Heaven sent you, that you might approach this door some day, and through His aid slip effortlessly past it, to the light. ³Today that day has come. (A Course in Miracles, W-131.5;11:5-8;13:1-2;14:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 131 Insights.)

The world seems real because we have accepted the ego as our identity and guide. The thought that separation and specialness could offer us something of value and worth striving for made a world filled with images that are not true. Specialness could never be true in the oneness of eternal Love, the only reality. But our wish for something else has filled our mind with substitutes that interfere with our awareness of the Love God gave His Son in his creation.

The first step in awakening to our Home in Heaven is to become aware that the things we seek for in the world offer nothing we really want. The goals we seem to achieve in the world lose their value when they are achieved. The ego answers by sending us on another search for meaning and value. But they cannot be found in illusions.

When we honestly step back and look at what we do in the world, we realize there must be a better way, a way that does not continue with fruitless searching. We become willing to move beyond the images of the world to open the door to the awareness of Love’s Light. Here we find the peace of God. We find the certainty and joy of engaging with the Love that is our Being.

Today we choose to pause and reflect on what we have been searching for. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us see where our true treasure is. We are willing to follow His lead on the path that leads to Heaven’s Love.
