Beyond this world there is a world I want.
* Do not think this means that it is inaccessible from here.
1. This is the thought that follows from the one we practiced yesterday. ²You cannot stop with the idea the world is worthless, for unless you see that there is something else to hope for, you will only be depressed. ³Our emphasis is not on giving up the world, but on exchanging it for what is far more satisfying, filled with joy, and capable of offering you peace. ⁴Think you this world can offer that to you?
* This is merely a letting go of false beliefs about reality. The Holy Spirit will guide us through this.
2. It might be worth a little time to think once more about the value of this world. ²Perhaps you will concede there is no loss in letting go all thought of value here. ³The world you see is merciless indeed, unstable, cruel, unconcerned with you, quick to avenge and pitiless with hate. ⁴It gives but to rescind, and takes away all things that you have cherished for a while. ⁵No lasting love is found, for none is here. ⁶This is the world of time, where all things end.
* These things are true for time and only because of our belief in separation from God, the Father.
3. Is it a loss to find a world instead where losing is impossible; where love endures forever, hate cannot exist and vengeance has no meaning? ²Is it loss to find all things you really want, and know they have no ending and they will remain exactly as you want them throughout time? ³Yet even they will be exchanged at last for what we cannot speak of, for you go from there to where words fail entirely, into a silence where the language is unspoken and yet surely understood.
* I have heard people shut down the discussion of God because of this last phrase. That is a cop out as far as I am concerned. Especially when it comes from someone who professes to be showing you how to live a better life.
4. Communication, unambiguous and plain as day, remains unlimited for all eternity. ²And God Himself speaks to His Son, as His Son speaks to Him. ³Their language has no words, for what They say cannot be symbolized. ⁴Their knowledge is direct and wholly shared and wholly one. ⁵How far away from this are you who stay bound to this world. ⁶And yet how near are you, when you exchange it for the world you want.
* THIS ACTUALLY DESCRIBES what I mean when I say that I am IN Heaven and IN Eternal Life. It is more of a feeling, an awareness that I have actually had since I was a child.
5. Now is the last step certain; now you stand an instant’s space away from timelessness.
* Today, I walk in timelessness. Here only to bear witness that God IS and Love is the only thing that could ever be expressed or manifested. All of my experiences give me tools or symbols to express in a world that has yet to need Him so desperately as I do or been as willing to give up what is not here to be had. I do not think I could describe it any further.
* Those who have found this place know of what I speak. They know that the story does not make up what they are and is only an instrument that keeps them in the realm of the ego=god mentality so that they might shine light on the truth that they understand.
²Here can you but look forward, never back to see again the world you do not want. ³Here is the world that comes to take its place, as you unbind your mind from little things the world sets forth to keep you prisoner. ⁴Value them not, and they will disappear. ⁵Esteem them, and they will seem real to you.
* We will be helping others out of the confusion of ego=god mentality, maybe for quite a while.
* I suspect that it is Earth that was developed and allowed to go so rogue so that it is seeking to destroy itself so as to allow the Christ Consciousness to recognize itself as the Son of God and let go of the suffering it puts itself through. THEN Earth itself will become a teaching post of sorts where other lifeforms will be allowed to be taught by virtue of the energy and witness of the Light within those who understand that separation IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY and that using others or taking from others NEVER gives anything that is real to anyone.
6. Such is the choice. ²What loss can be for you in choosing not to value nothingness? ³This world holds nothing that you really want, but what you choose instead you want indeed! ⁴Let it be given you today. ⁵It waits but for your choosing it, to take the place of all the things you seek but do not want.
* You are NOT going to lose all sensibilities in doing this. Rather you will gain sensitivities t feel that are heightened. Expression and experience Holy Instant by Holy Instant is where we exist in Eternal Live regardless of the form we may or may not be in.
* Learn to breathe with the witness of the Holy Spirit and allowHim to fill you up so that you might express your flame of truth to its greatest strength.
7. Practice your willingness to make this change ten minutes in the morning and at night, and once more in between. ²Begin with this:
³Beyond this world there is a world I want.
⁴I choose to see that world instead of this, for here is nothing that I really want.
⁵Then close your eyes upon the world you see, and in the silent darkness watch the lights that are not of this world light one by one, until where one begins another ends loses all meaning as they blend in one.
8. Today the lights of Heaven bend to you, to shine upon your eyelids as you rest beyond the world of darkness. ²Here is light your eyes can not behold. ³And yet your mind can see it plainly, and can understand. ⁴A day of grace is given you today, and we give thanks.
⁵This day we realize that what you feared to lose was only loss.
9. Now do we understand there is no loss. ²For we have seen its opposite at last, and we are grateful that the choice is made.
³Remember your decision hourly, and take a moment to confirm your choice by laying by whatever thoughts you have, and dwelling briefly only upon this:
⁴The world I see holds nothing that I want.
⁵Beyond this world there is a world I want.
* Please do not get caught up in words that may lead to fear. Put what you do not understand into the Hands of God and KNOW that you will receive answers when you are ready to receive them.
* In the meantime, give your attention to the promptings of the Spirit and if inclined keep a journal so that you might see your own growth.
