⁶Pursuit of the imagined leads to death because it is the search for nothingness, and while you seek for life you ask for death. ⁷You look for safety and security, while in your heart you pray for danger and protection for the little dream you made.
Yet searching is inevitable here. ²For this you came, and you will surely do the thing you came for. ³But the world can not dictate the goal for which you search, unless you give it power to do so.
Be glad that search you must. ²Be glad as well to learn you search for Heaven, and must find the goal you really want. ³No one can fail to want this goal and reach it in the end.
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. (A Course in Miracles, W-131.2:6–3:3;4:1-3;5. See also ACIM Lesson 131 Insights.)
If we follow the ego’s directions, we are set on meaningless pursuits. The best the ego can offer is temporary illusions that will not last because they are not real. We may experience temporary satisfaction, but the ego will soon send us on another search to keep us preoccupied so we do not question its guidance.
But we can follow another Guide. The Holy Spirit is in our mind ready to lead us to the eternal truth. As we follow His guidance, we will remember our unbroken connection with our Creator. We will remember the Love that unifies us with our Father and every brother. This is the search we will inevitably choose because it is the only one that satisfies.
