July 26th 2014 Lesson 130
It is impossible to see two worlds.
- Intention: To remember that we cannot see two diametrically opposed worlds, one real and the other unreal; the one you choose is the one you perceive. And to practice in silence opening our awareness to God's grace, which alone alone is our salvation.
- Practice:
Spend Five minutes Six times today in silence. In
addition, take a moment hourly to lay aside all other thoughts and remember the limits of your choice today: The real or the unreal, the false or truth, and Heaven or hell. We can perceive one or the other, but not both.
- Application:
-- Begin your search for the other world by asking for a strength beyond your own, and recognizing what it is your seek. You do not want illusions. And you come to these five minutes emptying your hands of all the petty treasures of this world. You wait for God to help you, as you say:
It is impossible to see two worlds.
Let me accept the strength God offers me and see no value in this world,
that I may find my freedom and deliverance.
God will be there. For you have called upon the great unfailing power which will take this giant step with you in gratitude. Nor will you fail to see His thanks expressed in tangible perception and in truth. You will not doubt what you will see, for it is perception of a kind your eyes alone have never seen. And you will know God's strength upheld you as you made this choice.
And dismiss temptation easily whenever it arises today, merely by remembering your choice is for the real world. Accept a little part of hell as real and you will perceive hell alone. All you need say to any part of hell, whatever form it takes, is simply this:
It is impossible to see two worlds.
I seek my freedom and deliverance, and this is not a part of what I want.
Insights/comments:
- It is a binary game; the choice is for all or nothing. We cannot take a little of the unreal into the reality of God's world; we must give up all the petty treasures of the world we see or we have no chance of entering God's world. Thankfully this is an inevitable choice for death will one day embrace us and rip from our dead cold hands all the treasures we valued so that we can finally awaken to the real treasures of God which are eternal. But let us not wait for death to take away the valueless, let us of our own volition do what we must inevitably do and loosen our grip on what we think we value now by the grace of God.
I and my Creator are One.
