 Hi, everyone. Welcome again to the Course in Miracles Workbook Lessons Live. And here we go with Workbook Lesson 130. It is impossible to see two worlds. Perception is consistent. What you see reflects your thinking. And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you want to see. Your values are determiners of this. For what you value, you must want to see believing what you see is really there. No one can see a world his mind has not accorded value. And no one can fail to look upon what he believes he wants. So sweet. No one can fail to look upon what he believes he wants. So prayers are always answered, but it depends on what you believe you want. That determines the answer that is perceived. But who can really hate and love at once? Who can desire what he does not want to have reality? And who can choose to see a world of which he is afraid? Fear must make blind for this its weapon is. That which you fear to see, you cannot see. Love and perception thus go hand in hand, but fear obscures in darkness what is there. So that's, that's what we have to remember that which you fear to see you cannot see. If you fear love, then you cannot experience and see the reflections of love. It reminds me of the movie what dreams may come. Robin Williams plays the main character. And he dies in that movie in a automobile accident in a tunnel. And then Cuba Gooding Jr. plays like his angel who shows up and, and he says, I want to, I want to see my children. When he has stref trees passed away and, and they're real fuzzy. He can't see them. And the angel played by Cuba Gooding Jr. says, you'll see them when you're ready to see them. So this is what Jesus is talking about. That which you fear to see you cannot see. That which is there's you're too afraid to perceive you cannot proceed. Beautiful. What then can fear project upon the world. What can be seen in darkness that is real. Truth is eclipsed by fear and what remains is but imagined. Yet what can be real in blind imaginings of panic born. What would you want that this is shown to you. What would you wish to keep in such a dream. So in this paragraph Jesus is mildly telling us that. When you have fear in your mind when you believe in fear when you believe in the ego. You are hallucinating the world you are hallucinating images based on fear projected from fear that have no existence and no reality whatsoever. It's it's definitely a psychotic break from abstract love and oneness in heaven. And it's a split mind now that believes both in fear and love fear being the ego thought system and love being the Holy Spirit thought system. And then what it sees from this split condition the seeming split condition is it sees the images that fear had made fear had invented their imaginations. And so I'm just going to take the song just my imagination running away with me running away with my awareness of my true identity and just watching idle images and the ego is the image maker. So if I believe in the ego I believe in fear and that's a hallucination of cosmos of time and space. And so what the ego is saying is gently he's saying if you're if you have fear in your mind you're hallucinating. Okay we can we can begin to accept this instead of reacting and responding to it we can begin to say wow that is that is deception fear that is sick that is insane. And we don't want to stay with that. Progress four. Fear has made everything you think you see, all separation, all distinctions, and the multitude of differences you believe make up the world. They are not there. Love's enemy has made them up. Yet love can have no enemy, and so they have no cause, no being, and no consequence. They can be valued, but remain unreal. They can be sought, but they cannot be found. Today we will not seek for them, nor waste this day in seeking what cannot be found. It is impossible to see two worlds which have no overlap of any kind. Seek for the one, the other disappears. But one remains. They are the range of choice beyond which your decision cannot go. The real and the unreal are all there are to choose between, and nothing more than these. That's the choice in the mind. The real or the unreal. The real is the Holy Spirit's purpose of forgiveness that takes us to divinity and then the unreal is the ego belief of fragmentation and separation. The real and the unreal are all there are to choose between and nothing more than these. The range is set. Every moment I choose between truth and illusions. Every moment I choose between the unholy instant, the tiny tick of time that seems to repeat over and over. This is the movie Groundhog Day. It just repeats and repeats, and this is what history is, is the ego belief being chosen again and again and producing what we might call history and the timeline, the near time. And then there's the holy instant which precedes time entirely. Jesus taught before Abraham was I am there's the I am presence that is the holy instant that is always available. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. There's the choice the range is set. Today I choose truth or illusions. Today we will attempt no compromise where none is possible. The world you see is proof you have already made a choice as all embracing as its opposite. What we would learn today is more than just the lesson that you cannot see two worlds. It also teaches that the one you see is quite consistent from the point of view from which you see it. It is all a piece because it stems from one emotion and reflects its source and everything you see. So when Jesus says it is all a piece he's talking P I E C E piece is all a piece. It's a piece of the ego. It's P E A C E which is the Holy Spirit's perspective, but basically those are our two options we either see a fragmented world part by part piece by piece person by person country by country. Planet by planet we either perceive the piece galaxy by galaxy doesn't matter what scale. We either see a part or we open up to the forgiveness and see the whole six times today in thanks and gratitude. We gladly give five minutes to the thought that ends all compromise and doubt and go beyond them all as one. We will not make a thousand meaningless distinctions nor attempt to bring with us a little part of unreality as we devote our minds to finding only what is real. Begin your searching for the other world by asking for a strength beyond your own and recognizing what it is you 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 of 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. Until you fail to see his thanks express intangible perception and truth. You will not doubt what you will look upon. For though it is perception, it is not the kind of seeing that your eyes alone have ever seen before. And you will know God's strength upheld you as you made this choice. This temptation easily today whenever it arises, merely by remembering the limits of your choice. The unreal or the real. The false or true is what you see. And only what you see perception is consistent with your choice. And hell or heaven comes to you as one. A little part of hell is real, and you have damned your eyes and cursed your sight. And what you will behold is hell indeed. It's fragmented perception. Don't have to say, well, I will I perceive the burning fire eternal fires there are no burning eternal fires but but a fragmented world fragmented perception of separate persons places things objects. As seen as if they're external to who you are that is how that's fragmentation is nothing to do with heaven it has nothing to do with right minded seeing is nothing to do with the miracle. We're calling on the miracle today. Yet the release of heaven still remains within your range of choice to take the place of everything that hell would show to you. 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. So, again, say to any part of hell, any part of fragmented perception, it could be anything could be. You could see a pen sitting on your desk and say to it, which is part of hell as part of fragmented perception there are no pens in heaven. You say to it, it is impossible to see two worlds. I seek my freedom and deliverance and this is not a part of what I want. Sorry, I want, I want a new way of looking at the world, instead of a perception of a pen. So you see how this transfers to anything you see on the news and the internet when you look around your room, and you look around your house on your yard. You know, it is impossible to see two worlds. Everything I perceive is consistent based on the purpose I look at. So if I look with the ego, I see a fragmented world. If I look with the Holy Spirit, I see a unified perception, a happy dream, nothing out of place. I see wholeness, I see completion. I see a delightful perception with the Holy Spirit. And I choose to see that world but it's impossible to see two worlds that have no meeting point. Truth and illusion don't meet. The real and the unreal never, ever, ever meet. So it's like, do I take the true perception or the fragmented perception. It's impossible to see them both. True perception is our reflection of love. False perception ego is hate, fear, guilt, shame, pain. Do you want that one or do you want the forgiveness, the joyous, soft, happy, peaceful experience of peace of forgiveness tranquil, tranquil mind. Today, as a as a bonus, I'm going to dip back into chapter 21. And chapter 21 is titled Reason and Perception and just for the fun of it. Let's go back to the text and see what Jesus is saying to strengthen our workbook lesson today. We're going to go to section two of chapter 21. We're going to check section two and that's called the responsibility for sight. Oh, oh my gosh, it's very juicy. If, if the ego tempts you today with the workbook lesson, it's impossible to see two worlds. Just dip back into chapter 21 section to the responsibility for sight, then you'll be fortified by the world that you want to see today, the responsibility for sight. We have repeated how little is asked of you to learn this course. It is the same small willingness you need to have your whole relationship to transform to joy. The little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit for which he gives you everything. The very little on which salvation rest. The tiny change of mind by which the crucifixion is changed to resurrection. And being true, it is so simple that it cannot fail to be completely understood. It is expected, yes, but not ambiguous. And if you choose against it now, it will not be because it is obscure, but rather that this little cost seemed in your judgment to be too much to pay for peace. The little willingness to choose with God and with the Holy Spirit and see with God and with the Holy Spirit today. This is the only thing that you need to do for a vision, happiness, release from pain and the complete escape from sin, all to be given you. But mean it with no reservations for here, the power of salvation lies. I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I experience. And I decide upon the goal I would achieve. And everything that seems to happen to me. I asked for and receive as I have asked. It's too good to say just once let's say it one more time because this, this is the end of victimization. This is the end of the belief in abuse, the belief in mistreatment. This is the end of grievances. This is the end of the belief in evil and tyranny. This is the end of the ego. Let's read it one more time and rejoice in it. I think you'll memorize it. I think, I think it's so, so dear in your heart that you'll just memorize it by heart and use it as a, as an answer to temptation of any kind. I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I experience. And I decide upon the goal I would achieve. And everything that seems to happen to me. I ask for and receive as I have asked. This is the end of the ego. And if the ego tempts you ever again, then use this on in your mind uses for your peace of mind. Deceive yourself no longer that you are helpless in the face of what is done to you. Acknowledge that you have been mistaken and all effects of your mistakes will disappear. It is impossible the son of God merely be driven merely be driven by events outside of him. It is impossible that happenings come to him. We're not his choice. His power of decision is the determiner of every situation in which he seems to find himself by chance or accident. Nor chance is possible within the universe as God created it outside of which is nothing. Okay, no accidents or chance. Nothing's at random. Nothing. There's no such thing as luck. There's no such thing as good fortune and bad fortune or misfortune. There is no chance. There is no accident. And responsibility for sight which is the title of this section in chapter 21 responsibility for sight means that I am 100% responsible for the perception that I choose. It's possible to see two worlds so I'm 100% responsible for the perception that I choose. I can choose holistic perception with the Holy Spirit and see a forgiven world a happy dream or I can choose fragmented perception of the ego. And then there comes the violence whining complaining. Oh, what happened to me and what did you know what happened to me you know it's a sad story. It's a sad song. If you choose the ego and if you choose the Holy Spirit it's it's a very happy song can sing with the birds. I'll say that again no accident, nor chance is possible within the universe as God created it outside of which is nothing suffer, and you decided sin was your goal. You were happy and you gave the power of decision to him who must decide for God for you. This little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit, and even this he gives to you to give yourself. Or by this gift is giving you the power to release your savior that he may give salvation unto you. You know this whole section is going with the workbook lesson it is impossible to see two worlds workbook lesson 130 and now we're we're seeing that we basically need to pray, pray and live a prayer throughout the day Holy Spirit decide for God for me. I give you my mind. I want to decide for God for me, I want to decide with you Holy Spirit. That's my rule for decision. I want a happy, joyful, peaceful, gleeful day, and I want to decide for God for you, which I'm asking you I'm giving you my mind saying, let's make joint decisions today for God. Let's choose our right mind. Let's choose to bypass and release any thought of sin or deception or distortion. Any temptation let's choose for God today. Be grudge not then this little offering with hold it and you keep the world as you see it now. Give it away and everything you see goes with it. Never was so much given for so little in the holy instant is this exchange affected and maintained. Here is the world you do not want brought to the one you do. And here, the one you do is given you because you want it. Yet for this the power of your wanting must first be recognized. You have to realize that the mind is extremely, extremely powerful, and that you have a power in that mind of desire or wanting and what are you going to use it for are you going to want the forgiven world, are you going to want a happy dream. And what are you going to use it for? Are you going to want the forgiven world? Are you going to want a happy dream? Are you going to want a world without judgment, considering that Jesus taught 2000 years ago in the Sermon on the Mount? Are you going to want a world that reflects innocence? Are you going to want an experience of joy that is reflected in everything and every one that you perceive, but you have to admit that the mind is powerful and that you have to accept the power of your wanting. In order to activate and allow the Holy Spirit to activate and use the power of the mind and the power of desire, you have to want to forgive. You have to want to know God. You have to want to follow Jesus and the Holy Spirit. You have to want it. You have to really, really truly want it and then it is given you. You must accept its strength and not its weakness. You must perceive that what is strong enough to make a world can let it go and can accept correction if it is willing to see that it was wrong. Yeah, that's it. I admit I was wrong about everything I perceived in history. All of it. The good, the bad, the right, the wrong, the beautiful, the ugly. I was wrong about all of it. I was wrong about duality. I was wrong about multiplicity. I was wrong about fragmentation. I was wrong about sin. I was wrong about error. I was wrong about everything the past had taught me. The world you see is but the idol witness that you were right. This witness is insane. You trained it in its testimony and as it gave it back to you, you listen and convince yourself that what it saw was true. This is madness. You did this to yourself. See only this and you will also see how circular the reasoning on which you are seeing rest. This was not given you. This was your gift to you and to your brother. The gift of fragmentation. Yeah, some gift. That's, that's the gift that we give when we believe in the ego. We give a gift to our self and our brother. A world of division, fragmentation, conflict and yeah, some gift when we could offer the love of Christ instead. Yeah, think of Mother Teresa and her kindness and gentleness and her steadfastness and her faith in Jesus. Offer the gift of healing, offer the gift of compassion of love. Be willing then to have it taken from him and be replaced with truth. And as you look upon the change in him, it will be given you to see it in yourself. Yeah, see the Christ in your brother, you see the Christ in yourself. The Christ is one. So if you see with Christ vision, yeah, that's that's one that's that's singularity. Perhaps you do not see the need for you to give this little offering. Look closer than at what it is. And very simply see in it the whole exchange of separation for salvation. All that the ego is, is an idea that it is possible that things should happen to the Son of God without his will. Without the will of his Creator, whose will cannot be separate from his own. Well, there's a definition. The definition of the ego, it's an idea that it is possible that things should happen to the Son of God without his will. Okay, that's the definition of victimization. That is the strange, strange belief that I had no part in it. This is what they, they did to me. This is what he did. This was she did to me. This is what the world did to me. Violin, oh my goodness abuse, mistreatment, you know, victimization, you know, Jesus is like, lay down your violin and your sad song. The ego believes that something outside of you can do something you apart from your will. And if you're the Son of God, if you're the Christ, that is impossible. Yeah, God created this Christ perfect and therefore the Christ cannot be abused cannot be victimized and Jesus showed us with his teachings 2000 years ago is his little drama that he went through with the cross and the resurrection. He showed us that eternal life is ours if we join our will and see that our will is one with God, not some ego, separate will, you know, our will is one with God. This is the Son of God's replacement for his will a mad revolt against what must be forever forever be this statement that he has the power to make God powerless. Make it for himself and leave himself without what God has will for him. This is the mad idea you have enshrined upon your alters and which you worship. It's death worshiping ego ego worship is death worship. And everything that threatens this seems to attack your faith for here it is invested. It's not that you are faithless for your belief and trust in this is strong indeed. So we have a very powerful mind and we are in truth. Never faithless, but we either put our faith in the Holy Spirit or the ego, we put it in the Holy Spirit, we open up to the Christ to follow Jesus and everything we think say and do. We put our faith in the ego or the error, or in sin, if you want to call it that the error, then we have put our faith. And we put our minds believe into something that can't see the ego is is basically cyclists. So we would be like somebody say here, drive my car and they they've got a blindfold on. That's, that's not a good idea. Neither should we look through the ego's lens and see a fragmented world. That is ridiculous that that is not helpful to to put your faith in the site of fragmentation. The Holy Spirit can give you faith in holiness and vision to see it easily enough. But you have not left open an unoccupied altar, unoccupied the altar where the gifts belong, where they should be you have set up your idols to something else. It's basically saying if you if you looked within and you had like the altar of your mind, it's like what have you put on the altar? Have you put God, love, joy, peace and happiness on the altar? Or do you believe in the images? Do you believe in family and friends? Do you believe in images of this world? You know, we're in the Bible, it said hold no graven images before the Lord by God. Do you have faith to let go of all misperceptions and to say in your heart, God, I put you on the altar. I put you on the altar. Meaning I want only you. I want your vision. I want your joy and love and life. I want eternity more than I want time. Or an exchange. It's impossible to see two worlds and I would rather perceive your happy dream and your world of no judgment, your, your, your holistic, beautiful world. I would love to accept it and see it exactly as it is that I might wake up to eternal life and I may know you, my God, my love, my life, my eternal life. That is our lesson of the day. Roll on with it is impossible to see two worlds and just have that tiny willingness that Jesus talks about there in chapter 21 just have that little willingness to see the world that you truly want. Want it. And then you will believe and you will perceive what you want. And the ego cannot block that. You know, you want to be happy, then be happy. You want to see a happy world. See a happy world. Yeah, choose choose with the Holy Spirit and Jesus today. God bless you. I look forward to enjoy.
