Lesson 144

My mind holds only what I think with God.

(127) There is no love but God’s.
(128) The world I see holds nothing that I want.

“Call to your Father, certain this His Voice will answer. He Himself has promised this.”

“The world in infancy is newly born. And we will watch it grown in health and strength, to shed its blessing upon all who come to learn to cast aside the world they thought was made in hate to be love’s enemy. Now are they all made free, along with us.”

Isn’t that nice? We’re standing in the new world … while still believing it is the old world we knew from last week. Be careful not to drag old ideas into new moments.

Stand in a state of Uncertainty and Not Knowing.

It’s a great place to be, where you have ZERO IDEA what you next step will be.

Just be alert.

With you is One, a perfect guide who knows the whole overall picture, Who will show you where to go and what to do … and whatever needs to be done, He will do it for you.

Simply show up, here and now. Be present. Allow the Holy Spirit to move and work through you.

Father, I am Yours.

There will always be a tendency when there is a disruption to try to glue the pieces back together again. But remember, a disruption is a disruption for a reason. It breaks up the old. Don’t bother picking up the pieces. You will be momentarily fearful to stand in a new place with no idea what to do next. You’ll be homeless for a while. Jesus in the bible says “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.” (Matthew 8:20)

This world is not your home. Don’t worry about it. Everything you need while you are here to fulfill the Holy Spirit’s purpose will be given to you, as long as you don’t use it to linger in time.

“The world I see holds nothing that I want.”

This is a true statement of fact. Everything here eventually turns to dust and disappointment. Bodies get sick & die. Relationships end. Friendships crumble. The world offers you nothing of lasting value.

But behind appearances is reality, and your salvation lies in relating only to what is eternal and changeless.

“Let nothing that relates to body thoughts delay your progress to salvation, nor permit temptation to believe the world holds anything you want to hold you back. Nothing is here to cherish. Nothing here is worth one instant of delay and pain; one moment of uncertainty and doubt.

“Today, we hold the world purposeless within our minds, and loosen it from all we wish it were. We leave it free of purposes we gave its aspects and its phases and its dreams.”

I love it. I can loose every idea about purpose and function, and simply be present.

Pause.

Pause and be still a little while, and see how far you rise above the world, when you release your mind from chains and let it seek the level where it finds itself at home.

Your mind will be grateful to be free a while.

Your mind knows where it belongs.

But free it’s wings, and it will fly in sureness and in joy to join its holy purpose.
