Lesson 132: ”I loose the world from all I thought it was.”

AI Reframe: I release my old interpretations of the world.

Suggested Practice:
From the lesson:

“Begin the fifteen-minute periods in which we practice twice today with this:”

²I who remain as God created me would loose the world from all I thought it was. ³For I am real because the world is not, and I would know my own reality.

“Then merely rest, alert but with no strain, and let your mind in quietness be changed so that the world is freed, along with you.”

”You need not realize that healing comes to many brothers far across the world, as well as to the ones you see nearby, as you send out these thoughts to bless the world. ²But you will sense your own release, although you may not fully understand as yet that you could never be released alone.” (ACIM, W-132.15:1–16:2)

Message

For me, this is another eloquent, prosaic lesson about choosing which perspective—which mindset—we want to bring to our earthly existence: ego mind or Divine mind.

As stated before, this isn’t about our bodily world. It’s about our inner world. For where my inner world goes, so goes my outer world.

And the beauty of it is: all we need to do to be of Divine mind is to change our mind.

From the Lesson:

”Yet is salvation easily achieved, for anyone is free to change his mind, and all his thoughts change with it. ²Now the source of thought has shifted, for to change your mind means you have changed the source of all ideas you think or ever thought or yet will think. ³You free the past from what you thought before. ⁴You free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not want to find.”

We can choose to be enslaved by our fears—with all our doubts, misery, and pain. Or we can free ourselves with thoughts sourced from the Divine.

This morning I was in a beautiful place heavily trafficked by tourists from all over the world—of which, irksomely, I was one. Whenever I caught myself having painful or suffering thoughts while coping with the crowds, I opted to change my thoughts and thus reminded myself: We are all of the One. We are all of the Self. While that didn’t always return me to peace, it at least brought me to neutral, stopping the ego thoughts from escalating.

I know for me, this is going to be an ongoing process: stop, notice, choose again, and repeat.

“I can continue to believe in the world as it appears now or I can believe in my eternal state. I can settle for ‘what is’ or I can create something new.”
