Keys to this Lesson
We are continuing the thought from yesterday.
You cannot stop with the idea that the world is worthless or you will be depressed.
This is not about giving up the world but exchanging it for what is more satisfying, one that it joyful and one that gives you peace.
The world you see here is merciless and unstable, at times cruel and doesn’t care about you.
No love is found here.
Find the world where love endures forever, hate cannot exist and vengeance has no meaning.
You do not lose by finding all the things that you really do want.
God speaks to you, speak to Him.
The language contains no words for in our exchange with Him it simply cannot be symbolized.
The knowledge is direct.
Look forward and do not look back at the world you do not want.
This is your choice today.
Do not value nothingness.
Exercise
10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening.
Be willing as you practice.
Begin with:
Beyond this world there is a world I want. I choose to see that world instead of this, for here is nothing that I really want.
Close your eyes.
In the silent darkness watch the lights that are not of this world light one by one until they blend as one.
Lights of Heaven shine upon you as you rest beyond this world of darkness.
Today is a day of grace.
Give thanks.
Remember your decision hourly as you say:
The world I see holds nothing that I want.
Beyond this world there is a world I want.

Since you’re here… …we have a small favor to ask. More people are reading our posts, listening to our audios and watching our videos than ever before but far fewer are donating for it. As an all-volunteer ministry, you can see why we need to ask for your help. MiraclesOne provides ACIM resources freely however it takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe in encouraging others to practically apply the Course principles in their lives – because it might just make the one difference in your life. If everyone who reads, listens or watches and likes what we offer helps to pay for it we can continue to afford our expenses and keep our resources FREE to all ACIM Students. Monthly Donors receive free gifts in appreciation for their support.
