There is a solution to the world's problems. Because there is only one problem in which all others are contained. Saying and meaning these words feels amazing. Explaining the solution feels both extremely large and difficult and at the same time very clear and simple.
I think of all the children and adults, young and old, all the sisters and brothers that I see would be "saved" by knowing this path. I write "saved" in quotation marks because everything that lives cannot die and is safe forever. But it is my responsibility to change my own vision by choosing love instead of fear. When I do, the world outside of me changes. When I see a problem, I can backtrack so far that I realize there is only one problem and one solution.
I think of those who fight and attack and of those who defend themselves. To everyone who wonders how long we have left on our planet, to everyone who experiences various threats in an uncertain world with natural and environmental disasters, to everyone who is sick or suffering in any way, to everyone who is afraid but unaware that they carry fear within them. Yes, on everyone who is not yet aware that there is a way out, another way of perceiving the world. It is the ego, our thoughts that are separated from love, that tries by all means to prevent us from awakening. We need to stop judging, assessing and evaluating. We don't have to compete because who are we competing against? We need to choose to be in the present and not in the past or the future.
Close your eyes and venture into your inner world. The external world can serve as an aid, a way, a tool but it only represents the truth because it is in the mind that everything happens and everything exists and everything is. Everything is in the mind and projected out and this shapes everything we see outside of us.
Read more about this in the book "A Course in Miracles".
Do you want to know how I think?
It all started when one fine day about 40 years ago I found the book "A Course in Miracles".
It is not an ordinary book written by an ordinary author. The text came about through a process of internal dictation that lasted for about seven years. In the bookstore, I opened the book and read a few lines. Then came the tears. I recognized the words. They brought back a very old memory. Since then, the message in the book has accompanied me on the journey of life and helped me in every situation I found myself in to learn something. I feel it tells the truth in a kind-hearted and loving way. When you do the lessons exactly as they ask you to, you will notice that they work and are consistent throughout the book.
When you get to know yourself, you realize that you and all people all over the earth are one and the same on a higher plane.
The book tells us that "From knowledge and perception respectively, two distinct thought systems arise which are opposite in every respect."
- the one thought system is true and belongs to the part of your mind that is in touch with the truth and where everything is, where being is, where Love, God, All, Source, Cause or whatever you want to call it, is. Here is the eternal, holy and unchanging. Thoughts of abundance. Here we are everything and have everything.
- the second thought system is illusion and belongs to the part of your mind that is separated from the truth and where the ego thoughts rule. All thoughts here come from the fear that has many different disguises, they are changeable, parts of the whole, untrue, the duality that shows you two sides of the same coin, the uncertainty, a world of time, that which is not whole, thoughts of lack, the unholy is here.
In the book "A Course in Miracles" the following is said and these words mean and explain everything. If you understand these words, you understand the whole book. They sound as follows:
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
The book continues: “The world we see merely reflects our own internal frame of reference – the dominant ideas, wishes and emotions in our minds. "Projection makes perception". We look inside first, decide the kind of world we want to see and then project that world outside, making it the truth as we see it.”
"As we learn to recognize the errors in our perception, we also learn to overlook them or to 'forgive'."
What is not love alone, is lack of love. We humans have the power to see love, to recognize love because we are love. So when you have made a choice that came out of fear, choose again my friend and see love where fear was. Behind the veil of illusions, love is waiting quietly and peacefully for you to choose again.
Read the book if you are interested, open to new paths or even the slightest bit curious about how you can serve your sisters and brothers, yourself and the whole world. Use the time to "save" the world, "save" creation and wake up and realize that you have been home safely all along in the present. You are on a journey without distance. Join the cosmic dance that takes place within you in the mind and that you see outside of you through the movements of the galaxies in the universe. Do you hear the music? Do you hear the notes in your mind?
I know somewhere you can hear me. Listen to your heart and believe in your greatness, your power and your holiness. You are love. The best thing is to let the world be what it is and not try to change it. What needs to change is to choose in each moment thoughts that come from love. Keep dancing and listening to the tunes within you and embrace love because love embraces you.
Peace.
