Perception is consistent. ²What you see reflects your thinking. ³And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you want to see. ⁴Your values are determiners of this, for what you value you must want to see, believing what you see is really there. ⁵No one can see a world his mind has not accorded value. ⁶And no one can fail to look upon what he believes he wants.
Fear has made everything you think you see. ²All separation, all distinctions, and the multitude of differences you believe make up the world. ³They are not there. ⁴Love’s enemy has made them up. ⁵Yet love can have no enemy, and so they have no cause, no being and no consequence. ⁶They can be valued, but remain unreal.
It is impossible to see two worlds which have no overlap of any kind. ²Seek for the one; the other disappears. ³But one remains. ⁴They are the range of choice beyond which your decision cannot go. ⁵The real and the unreal are all there are to choose between, and nothing more than these.
⁵It is impossible to see two worlds. ⁶Let me accept the strength God offers me and see no value in this world, that I may find my freedom and deliverance.
God will be there. ²For you have called upon the great unfailing power which will take this giant step with you in gratitude. ³Nor will you fail to see His thanks expressed in tangible perception and in truth. (A Course in Miracles, W-130.1;4:1-6;5;8:5–9:3. See also ACIM Lesson 130 Insights.)
We can change our mind about the world. The strength of God in us supports our awakening. We can believe our perceptions of the world show us what is real. With this belief we seem to be its victim and in need of constant defense to protect the little corner we claim as our own.
The Strength of God in us can show us a world in which we are Love, loving and loved. This Strength goes with us wherever we go. When we are willing to accept it, we see the real world which blesses us with kindness and joy. This is the Home we seek but which we never left in truth.
We call upon this Strength today to help us recognize the misperceptions that bring us fear and guilt. It will show us the reality of Love behind the world’s dark shadows. We will see a world of Light and Love. We will see peace and happiness where fear and guilt once occupied our mind.
