Remembering What We Really Want
³The only purpose worthy of your mind this world contains is that you pass it by…
Pause and be still a little while, and see how far you rise above the world, when you release your mind from chains and let it seek the level where it finds itself at home. ²It will be grateful to be free a while. ³It knows where it belongs. ⁴But free its wings, and it will fly in sureness and in joy to join its holy purpose. ⁵Let it rest in its Creator, there to be restored to sanity, to freedom and to love.
Give it ten minutes rest three times today. ²And when your eyes are opened afterwards, you will not value anything you see as much as when you looked at it before. ³Your whole perspective on the world will shift by just a little, every time you let your mind escape its chains. ⁴The world is not where it belongs. ⁵And you belong where it would be, and where it goes to rest when you release it from the world. ⁶Your Guide is sure. ⁷Open your mind to Him. ⁸Be still and rest.
Protect your mind throughout the day as well. ²And when you think you see some value in an aspect or an image of the world, refuse to lay this chain upon your mind, but tell yourself with quiet certainty:
³This will not tempt me to delay myself.
⁴The world I see holds nothing that I want. (W-128.2:3;6:1–8:4)
The world seems real to us because we want separation to be real. Its seeming reality offers us special status. We stand alone upon our hill of differences that sets us apart from all others. We plant our flag on our uniqueness at the cost of peace, forced to defend the hill we have made.
Our true Self sees no value in this dream of differences. Our real value lies in our unity with our Creator. All His peace, His joy, His Love He shares with us. Today we remind ourselves, “The world I see holds nothing that I want.”
