I am not the victim of the world I see.
Today let us review these ideas:
1. (31) I am not the victim of the world I see.
* I am an ambassador for Father into the world the Son THINKS he occupies.
* Where he thinks he lives and dies.
²How can I be the victim of a world that can be completely undone if I so choose?
* I choose to “undo” the world by knowing that GOD IS and releasing the Son from the burden of punishment for forgetting to laugh at the idea of separation from God, the One Original Universal Creator and Father to us ALL.
³My chains are loosened.
* Because they are not REAL.
⁴I can drop them off merely by desiring to do so.
⁵The prison door is open.
⁶I can leave simply by walking out.
* And INTO GOD’S PRESENCE.
⁷Nothing holds me in this world.
⁸Only my wish to stay keeps me a prisoner.
⁹I would give up my insane wishes and walk into the sunlight at last.
2. (32) I have invented the world I see.
²I made up the prison in which I see myself.
³All I need do is recognize this and I am free.
⁴I have deluded myself into believing it is possible to imprison the Son of God.
⁵I was bitterly mistaken in this belief, which I no longer want.
⁶The Son of God must be forever free.
⁷He is as God created him, and not what I would make of him.
* Society did not make me, Mother did not make me, Dad did not make me, not even my children made me. Heavenly Father DID. I may choose to acknowledge that TRUTH or hide in the shadows with a belief of my own making.
⁸He is where God would have him be, and not where I thought to hold him prisoner.
3. (33) There is another way of looking at the world.
²Since the purpose of the world is not the one I ascribed to it, there must be another way of looking at it.
³I see everything upside down, and my thoughts are the opposite of truth.
⁴I see the world as a prison for God’s Son.
⁵It must be, then, that the world is really a place where he can be set free.
* YES. Students of the Course, this means that the world IS REAL AS ARE YOU and those in it and beyond.
⁶I would look upon the world as it is, and see it as a place where the Son of God finds his freedom.
4. (34) I could see peace instead of this.
²When I see the world as a place of freedom, I realize that it reflects the laws of God instead of the rules I made up for it to obey.
³I will understand that peace, not war, abides in it.
⁴And I will perceive that peace also abides in the hearts of all who share this place with me.
* Yes, PEACE IS THERE in each of us, but it will not be realized until it is truly desired. As long as we hate anyone, including ourselves, we will not find it INTERNALLY AND ETERNALLY.
5. (35) My mind is part of God’s.
²I am very holy.
* I am WHOLE as GOD IS. That does not make me God, HYMNSELF, it makes me part of the Sonship that is Christ.
³As I share the peace of the world with my brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes from deep within myself.
* In this sense there is no “myself” to get deep within. There is only God of Which I am a part as His Son because HE Desired that was so.
⁴The world I look upon has taken on the light of my forgiveness, and shines forgiveness back at me.
* … AS I SEE GOD.
* Other’s must be willing to see HYMN/GOD before they are willing to “shine forgiveness back at me.”
⁵In this light I begin to see what my illusions about myself kept hidden.
* NO.
* Not in the light of the son’s forgiveness but
⁶I begin to understand the holiness of all living things, including myself, and their oneness with me.
(ACIM, W-57.1:1–5:6)
To Father be ALL Glory and Praise Given AS His Son, debi.
