BRIGHT NEW WORLD

I sit by my window watching the snow fall gently to the ground in huge, fluffy flakes landing in rapid succession each building upon the one before. I open the window. Trying to hold onto the beauty, I catch a flake only to see it melt instantly the moment it touches my warm palm. This reminds me of my encounters with the Real World. For an instant I am there in the bright light where all is perfect and the very next instant I am once again in the world of perception with its dark and ugly corners of judgment and comparison. Just as I am unable to hold onto a flake of snow, I cannot seem to hold on to the Real World. The instant I am in the Real World, my recognition dissolves into the next moment. I cannot understand why the Real World is so elusive to me. Why can I not cause the Real World to last in my awareness longer than an instant?

Chapter 26: The Transition, III The Borderland paragraph 2 “There is a borderland of thought that stands between this world and Heaven. It is not a place, and when you reach it is apart from time. Here is the meeting place where thoughts are brought together; where conflicting values meet and all illusions are laid down beside the truth, where they are judged to be untrue. This borderland is just beyond the gate of Heaven. Here is every thought made pure and wholly simple. Here is sin denied, and everything that is received instead.”

In the Real World only reality, only oneness exists which leaves me no comparison, and therefore, no conflict and ultimately no choice. Reality is. I cannot hold onto it for more than an instant so long as my mind holds any thought apart from God and so long as I allow any shadow of doubt to fall across Reality’s purity.

Lesson 75 “The Light Has Come” The last paragraph, “We dedicate this day to the serenity in which God would have you be. Keep it in your awareness of yourself and see it everywhere today, as we celebrate the beginning of your vision and the sight of the real world, which has come to replace the unforgiven world you thought was real.”

I wait in patient trust, standing before God in the pure recognition of who I am and knowing that my prayer for forgiveness will be and is answered. I know these instants of the Real World can be and are extended every day to include more and more of my awareness until all that is left is my awareness of the Real World. I thank God today for the glimpses I am offered daily and I rest assured in the knowledge that they are coming in rapid succession one building upon the other until all that exists for me is the Real World and I am instantly gone, one with my Creator God, and one with All That Is.
