 H403, what is the world? You know, what is the workbook? This isn't the workbook. The world is false perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its source. Okay, and what that means, obviously it's born of error. We were just talking about it. So it came about from the ridiculous idea that you could separate from your creator. But that idea, and it has not left its source. What that is trying to do, conveying there, is that ideas leave out their source. That it seems as if the world has been projected out of our mind. In other words, it seems like there is really an objective world out there. Where the plane crashes, and floods, and hurricanes, and people dying, and sick, and there's continents, and there's India over there, and China, and this and that, and there's cultures, and there's history. And it seems like that's all kind of like real uncreativeness. That it's been there long before mankind even came. Carl Sagan would say, millions and billions of years. This planet has been around before there was human life, or even evolution, or whatever these rocks, and these geological formations have been. Jesus is saying that the world is a projection from your mind, and it has not left its source. In other words, the world is still in your mind. The world is nothing more than a bunch of ideas. That is in your mind. But to the ego, the ego says, get out of it, you know. No way. The world has left its source. And not only that, the ego says, you've left your source. The Course says, you know, we were created as an idea in the mind of God. And the ego says, you left, you were created as an idea in the mind of God. But you served God, you turned your back on God. You're out of the kingdom now. You've left your source. And so, as I've gone on in life, you know, and as I've started to have my shifts in self-concept and started to step out of these false beliefs, it's been more of an experiential sense that the world is in my mind. You know, there's a big perceptual problem going on, and that the world is in your mind, and that all of these things seem to happen on the screen, are perceptual, are just witnesses, that you look first within your mind, and if you have all these dark, crazy beliefs that your father didn't create, and you feel weak and frail and teaming and guilty, then you'll call forth witnesses in the world that will represent, I'm weak, I'm tiny, I'm frail and low. We've forgotten what the kingdom is. We've forgotten what love is. And so, to let go of all these things that we have made, not knowing that we've gotten what we had is very fearful. So, to let go, what do you have left? If you were to just, you know, it's not knowing what's on the other side. The ego says that you let go of all this familiar stuff in the world, and even these beliefs and the underpinnings of the world, that the ego says you'll go into the void. You know, they talk about in Buddhism, the void. I don't want to go into the void, but see, that's the ego's version of going back to the light. And really, the Holy Spirit's saying, you will, in a sense, you will be everything. You will be exactly as you were created. You'll be abstract light. No need, no care, no worries. There's nothing but eternal peace. So deep that you don't even have a glimmer of how people will be. You see how there's two different versions of the ego going within. And that's where the ego's stepped over to. That's our way shower. The ego's belief is that all your security rests on meeting your survival needs, you know, and then it goes on beyond that to say, well, why not have joy in life and comfort? More comfort for the body, more pleasure for the body, more da da da da da. In a sense, that's still tacking on and worshiping death because it's letting go of the mind's identification with the world and the body, where the freedom and the joy come in. You can see how this is a big turnaround. In a sense, we've been pursuing, we've been seeking for happiness and salvation out on the screen in the specifics. And that keeps covering over our sense of loss. Because really our deep sense of loss comes from the belief that we separated from our Father in Heaven. But we kind of like placate or try to satisfy ourselves. Having already assumed, okay, I have done the impossible, which is the ego belief I have separated from God. Now I'm going to try to pacify myself. And who among us has not, you know, we all have had many different forms probably, but who among us has not attempted to do that? And who among us has not felt this isn't it? You know, this doesn't work. It seemed to work. Yeah. For a while. Yeah. It's really that we're not going with them to give up on the peace because that's where it is. It's not anything we're being. Yeah, we are.
