What keeps the world in chains but your beliefs? ²And what can save the world except your Self? ³Belief is powerful indeed. ⁴The thoughts you hold are mighty, and illusions are as strong in their effects as is the truth.
…for anyone is free to change his mind, and all his thoughts change with it. ²Now the source of thought has shifted, for to change your mind means you have changed the source of all ideas you think or ever thought or yet will think. ³You free the past from what you thought before. ⁴You free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not want to find.
The present now remains the only time. ²Here in the present is the world set free. ³For as you let the past be lifted and release the future from your ancient fears, you find escape and give it to the world.
The world is nothing in itself. ²Your mind must give it meaning. ³And what you behold upon it are your wishes, acted out so you can look on them and think them real.
There is no world apart from what you wish, and herein lies your ultimate release. ²Change but your mind on what you want to see, and all the world must change accordingly. ³Ideas leave not their source. (A Course in Miracles, W-132.1:1-4;2:1–3:3;4:1-3;5:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 132 Insights.)
Everyone is seeking happiness and peace of mind. But if we follow the ego, we are sent on wild chases that never bring us happiness or peace that lasts.
By the grace of God, we have been given another Guide Who leads us where lasting peace and happiness reside eternally. We are led to remembering the Reality of the Love in which we live. We are eternally safe in God’s Love and so we share His peace.
Joining in His Love brings us His joy as we extend His Love without limit. Today we remember to follow the Holy Spirit and let His interpretations of all our perceptions replace our own.
