A New Way to See

WB Lesson 226 ~ Thoughts

I have been riding the ego’s merry-go -round of illusion for awhile. Now I have decided to step back, get down from the ride, I want to return to sanity. From WB lesson 226, these thoughts came to mind.

“If I see no value in the world as I behold it, nothing I want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it will depart from me. For I have not sought for illusions to replace the truth.”

When I see value in anything around me, I am replacing truth with my illusion; the “I want it thus” syndrome. All my upset, pain and misery come from wanting my imaginary thoughts in place of truth. If I think I know what my happiness is, I am confused and deceived by the voice I have chosen to listen to. Jesus asks me to choose again. There is nothing to lose by asking for another way to look at this situation, person, idea.

There is nothing to lose for the world of form is meaningless to the mind of Love. When I allow the world to be used for the healing purpose of joining minds, then I experience happiness. In letting go of what I never had, I allow truth, union, Heaven to replace my dream of separation. Any fear that I may feel is only a veil that the ego system would draw over the face of Love, in its attempt to keep Love hidden.

My holy Self knows the oneness of Heaven, the strength of peace, the certainty of Love. When I go within and join with my holy Self, I experience perfect happiness. Dear Holy Spirit, I am willing to be aware of my thoughts and to give them to You. I would keep only what God shares with me, which He created for me.  Amen.

I am reminded that nothing, absolutely nothing in my world has value, only the relationship I have with God/Source has value. If I think I want anything else, I am delusional, and I have done nothing in reality.
