Below are the links to my original posts for the lessons we are reviewing today:
Day 129: Beyond this world there is a world I want.
Day 130: It is impossible to see two worlds.
Let us begin our meditation with the following:
My mind holds only what I think with God.
Think of your mind as a blank canvas standing upright at the end of a long, dark hall. The canvas is all you can see. Move your way slowly toward it as your breath becomes deeper and calmer. Any stray thoughts that come to you flash briefly as they flit across the canvas, then vanish, leaving it blank again. As the canvas begins to fill the space of your entire vision, feel the presence of all the others with you. Each soul has come to look upon this very canvas, which is not only yours, but shared by everyone. Look closely with the others as you wait to see the words which will appear on its blank surface.
Beyond this world there is a world I want.
There is nothing we could want within this world. Everything in it is temporary, and in time will wither and die. All it holds are illusions, which at best are representative of the True Gifts which lie beyond. The Love we share, the Joy we give, the Peace that comforts us - these things are not of this world, but we can experience them in it and sustain their presence here if we maintain the resolve to remember Who We Really Are. We can allow the world beyond to shine through this one by our recognition of what this world is. In Reality, it does not exist. We are only visitors, sent here to usher in the Light so that we may awake from our dream state.
It is impossible to see two worlds.
One cannot be both sleeping and awake at the same time. Such is the case with this world and the one beyond. If we choose to see illusions, then we choose to stay asleep. If we choose to look toward the Light, then our illusions will melt away as we awake with clearer consciousness. This world may seem familiar to us, but only because we have been sleeping for so long. In fact it is a foreign place, for our True Home is in the loving arms of God. The world beyond will offer us the Gift of Timeless Joy. But we must realize that we have been dreaming. We have nothing to fear by letting go of this strange world. What awaits is something Grand indeed, so why delay any longer?
Our shared canvas has revealed the words that will bring us closer to the Truth today. Let us recognize that we need not hesitate to See the Glory of the world beyond right now. It is ours to behold, for it is our Home. We can either dream or walk in Truth. So let's wake up, one by one, as we awake all others who have long been sleeping, too. Only the World of Light will bring us everlasting Joy. Let it shine on through so that we may experience the Magnificent Beauty of All That Is around us.
Until tomorrow,
Journeyman
