It is impossible to see two worlds.

“No one can see a world his mind has not accorded value.” [CE W-130.1:5]

I questioned if this was true. To see all of the pain and destruction in the world means that we value it?!

There is a lot going on in the world that I don’t see. I don’t follow the news. I tell myself that if I am meant to know about something, it will come to me through friends or social media that I follow.

And yet, the memory came back of not seeing something right in front of me. The memory was of a relationship — my being in love in my 20s. He told me of his female conquests when we first started dating. Later, my brother told me my guy was cheating on me. I did not believe it. After 3 years I broke it off, not because of infidelity but because of too many disappointments related to him keeping a job. After the breakup I realized that he had to have cheated on me — there was no other reason for my brother, who loved me, to have told me that. I could not see it at all.

Another thought is about how, since my spiritual awakening, I see so much love, caring, and compassion in the world. The evidence of God’s Love is everywhere when you become a seeker of God’s Love.

“It is impossible to see two worlds which have no overlap of any kind. Seek for the one: the other disappears.”

As I read the lesson, my mind went to what I get anxious about these days, my adult kids. My mind quickly shifted to an image of my death bed where me and my kids share words of open-hearted loving-care.

Why not now?

This is the world that I want.

Do the people I love know that I love them? I can do better. <3

“He (Jesus) cared about real holiness, the connection of things human and divine, the unity of sinners, the coming together of that which was formerly set apart.” ~ Nadia Bolz-Weber, CAC Daily Meditation 5-10-2023.

Jesus saw differently. People came first. He either saw or chose to see their inner light, truth, innocence, apart from what was visible in this world. Hollie explains that the lesson is about choosing to let go of our worldly perceptions and normal reactions — to let go, by our choosing.

“Our small move can shift us directly into the slipstream of what exists already when the strength that is really behind our move is made of pure Love and faith in us.” ~ Hollie Holden.

“You will know God’s strength upheld you as you made the choice.”

Lord, help me to see the world differently. _/\_

Beyond this world is a world that I want. ~Lesson 129

Let me accept the strength God offers me and see no value in this world, that I may find my freedom and deliverance.

I’m asking for help, God, with this seeing.
