My thoughts are images that I have made.
This is a favorite lesson. It thrills me to look at what appears to be a solid and real object and realize that it is just an image I wanted to see. The eyes are like virtual reality goggles. They don’t show us what is there. They show us what we want to be there. Sometimes, this is pretty cool stuff. I want coffee to exist, and there it is. That was one of our best ideas. That and chocolate.
But sometimes, I want a place to put my guilt, and those images are not so pleasant. From the perspective of the ego, the eyes serve to convince us the world is real. And because the images seem to be outside our minds, we can believe we have no responsibility for them. Thus, someone or something else is guilty of them.
Used by the Holy Spirit, they show us what it is in our minds that yet needs to be healed. And sometimes, they show us a manifestation of a miracle as the mind is healed. What a blessing that can be.
