I have invented the world I see.
I had to laugh this morning as I began the lesson. I was sitting in my office at my computer, and so I looked around at my surroundings. As I did so, I felt compelled to straighten things up as I looked at them. Not the intention of the lesson. LOL.
My world is one of contrasts, from the desire for order to the equal desire to create chaos. It happens in my mind, and so it happens in my world. And yet, as I look around at my world and in my mind for the interpretation of my world, I am aware of two things. I have little control over the outer and complete control of the inner world. I feel very grateful for that insight.
The larger outer world is going through some changes right now. No one in charge has asked for my opinion or my consent. But, how I see this is entirely up to me. I can watch it all from the ego mind if I want to. However, that will be inventing a world of separation and thus suffering. Or I can look at it from my holy mind, in which case I will see the purpose and the solution. This makes it no different than any other situation I find myself in. It is just another opportunity to forgive, heal, love, and awaken.
I have decisions to make about the world we have made. There is nothing new about that. I always have decisions to make about the world. How will I choose to see it? How will I choose to use it? Will I use it to extend love and support to my fellow man as we all try to navigate it? Or will I use it to go deeper into the dream and bring more darkness into our shared mind?
If I judge the situation as more important, more awful, more wonderful, more or less anything, it is because I have blinded myself to the truth. There is no hierarchy in illusions. Nothing is good or bad, only truth or illusion. I choose to look at each occurrence and each thought with the Holy Spirit. He will lighten away the darkness. And if I forget that commitment, I will simply choose again. The world is a classroom, and I am here to learn. If I choose to feel guilty as I learn, I will change my mind. I will remind myself, “Myron, be a happy learner.
