Expressions of Love Lead Us Home

The world as you perceive it cannot have been created by the Father, for the world is not as you see it. ²God created only the eternal, and everything you see is perishable. ³Therefore, there must be another world that you do not see.

Every loving thought that the Son of God ever had is eternal. ²The loving thoughts his mind perceives in this world are the world’s only reality. ³They are still perceptions, because he still believes that he is separate. ⁴Yet they are eternal because they are loving. ⁵And being loving they are like the Father, and therefore cannot die. ⁶The real world can actually be perceived. ⁷All that is necessary is a willingness to perceive nothing else. ⁸For if you perceive both good and evil, you are accepting both the false and the true and making no distinction between them.

…everything true is like Him. ⁹Perceiving only the real world will lead you to the real Heaven, because it will make you capable of understanding it.

⁹The real world is all that the Holy Spirit has saved for you out of what you have made, and to perceive only this is salvation, because it is the recognition that reality is only what is true. (A Course in Miracles, T-11.VII.1:1-3;2;3:8-9;4:9. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Only Love is real. The real world is made up of all expressions of Love in a world where perceptions seem to exist. Thus the real world is a bridge to heaven from a mind that believes perceptions are necessary because we believe in a world of observer and the observed. To perceive only the real world, we must give up our penchant for judging things as good or bad.

The only meaningful judgment is between real and unreal. In the ego’s thought system this judgment is impossible. We must rely on the Holy Spirit to make this judgment on our behalf. The Holy Spirit is with us in every moment.

As we learn to rely on Him for all our interpretations, we will let go of the meaningless distinctions the ego makes. With His help, we will dismiss the unreal as meaningless and perceive only the Love in which we live. Loving thoughts and deeds become radiant stars that lead the way to remembering Heaven, our true Home.
