My thoughts* on ACIM Workbook Lesson 128, May 8, 2025, The World I See (*IN Separation) Holds Nothing That I Want

The world I see holds nothing that I want.

* THIS is the world of mental darkness that sees trauma and suffering as real. God has given the world to His Son, please understand this. It makes a big difference.

1. The world you see holds nothing that you need to offer you; nothing that you can use in any way, nor anything at all that serves to give you joy.

* This is not congruent with the rest of the Course. If you see GOD you will have joy within constantly and in time the world of form will bring you gifts from Father because you are able to see HYMN in all things.

* It is the world that the fear of separation has put before us that we are giving up.

²Believe this thought, and you are saved from years of misery, from countless disappointments, and from hopes that turn to bitter ashes of despair.

³No one but must accept this thought as true, if he would leave the world behind and soar beyond its petty scope and little ways.

I have not been “a part” of the world for many years, though I have daily given my life over to untangling the thought processes of separation with Father through listening to SPIRIT within.

2. Each thing you value here is but a chain that binds you to the world, and it will serve no other end but this.

* I did not move into my last community looking to be saved. I would have been eaten up alive. The attempt was made but I was able to remove myself because FATHER had my back, and yeah, that guy helped me out at the prompting of SPIRIT but that does not give him my loyalty or devotion. That belongs to GOD ALONE. I do not worship human beings or any other form or part of Christ. I worship Father.

²For everything must serve the purpose you have given it, until you see a different purpose there.

* I ride on seeing Father. That is all that I wish to see. In HYMN I see the Son and hold him close and dear within my heart.

³The only purpose worthy of your mind this world contains is that you pass it by, without delaying to perceive some hope where there is none.

⁴Be you deceived no more.

⁵The world you see holds nothing that you want.

3. Escape today the chains you place upon your mind when you perceive salvation here.

²For what you value you make part of you as you perceive yourself.

* Another good reason to “SEE” GOD in all things. And circumstances.

³All things you seek to make your value greater in your sight limit you further, hide your worth from you, and add another bar across the door that leads to true awareness of your Self.

* Amen. As I consider get-togethers, I must ask for SPIRIT to shield me and Father to guide me moment by moment to avoid harm to myself or others. I’m speaking about emotional harm here, but with me setting boundaries firmer those who wish to stay in storylines are getting more frustrated, and I do not wish to ignite anything there either.

4. Let nothing that relates to body thoughts delay your progress to salvation, nor permit temptation to believe the world holds anything you want to hold you back. ²Nothing is here to cherish.

* I know there is love in all things because GOD IS and we are part of the Sonship of Christ. I also know that I cannot force anyone to see that for themselves. I have to accept that and listen for guidance in how to proceed.

* Will SPIRIT have me do as I did last time and speak kindly to someone others felt was their enemy? I put it in His Hands. I am not purposely going there with intent to stir crap up. And I go because SPIRIT says Father wants me to for the younger generation to see. And for other things that I may not be aware of.

³Nothing here is worth one instant of delay and pain; one moment of uncertainty and doubt.

* That does not mean that WE do not have to do the work OR that we will not find it uncomfortable at times.

⁴The worthless offer nothing.

* Remember that “the worthless” are the thought processes of the storylines of fear, not people or any part of Christ/creation.

⁵Certainty of worth can not be found in worthlessness.

5. Today we practice letting go all thought of values we have given to the world.

²We leave it free of purposes we gave its aspects and its phases and its dreams.

* We do not ask the world to take of us internally or eternally. That will expand to emotionally and all other constructs of existence as well.

³We hold it purposeless within our minds, and loosen it from all we wish it were.

* What we are holding “purposeless” is anything that has to do with reflecting the idea of separation from Father or connection to all that is.

⁴Thus do we lift the chains that bar the door to freedom from the world, and go beyond all little values and diminished goals.

6. Pause and be still a little while, and see how far you rise above the world, when you release your mind from chains and let it seek the level where it finds itself at home.

²It will be grateful to be free a while.

³It knows where it belongs.

⁴But free its wings, and it will fly in sureness and in joy to join its holy purpose.

⁵Let it rest in its Creator, there to be restored to sanity, to freedom and to love.

* THIS DOES HAPPEN. I LIVE THERE.

7. Give it ten minutes rest three times today.

²And when your eyes are opened afterwards, you will not value anything you see as much as when you looked at it before.

³Your whole perspective on the world will shift by just a little, every time you let your mind escape its chains.

⁴The world (*think “separation) is not where it belongs.

⁵And you belong where it would be, and where it goes to rest when you release it from the world.

⁶Your Guide is sure.

⁷Open your mind to Him.

⁸Be still and rest.

8. Protect your mind throughout the day as well.

²And when you think you see some value in an aspect or an image of the world, refuse to lay this chain upon your mind, but tell yourself with quiet certainty:

³This will not tempt me to delay myself.

⁴The world (*of separation from God and all that is) I see holds nothing that I want.

(ACIM, W-128.1:1–8:4)

* I have much love and appreciation for each of you, regardless of the costumes you think you wear or the wrongs you might believe you have done.

Till next time, God Bless, debi.
