“So, you see, where I abide is everywhere at once. And so do you; you simply do not know it yet. I abide with an infinite array of friends who have realized the Truth and have been set free. They are infinitely creating, without ceasing, that which extends their treasure, which is the good, the holy, and the beautiful. Many have given you images of choirs of angels singing the praises of God. It is the same thing.” (“The Way of the Heart,” WOM, Lesson 12, Page 148)
Here we get a glimpse of the world that Jesus inhabits now. Like “choirs of angels,” seeking the “good, the holy, and the beautiful.”
Might we do the same, even in this conflicted world? We won’t enjoy the ecstatic embrace of Love to the same extent as choirs of angels, but we can have our own experience, an experience which can be very good indeed.
What does Jesus mean by saying that he abides everywhere at once? And that we do, too? I think he means that there is nothing outside of him, nothing outside ourselves. This belief that there is nothing outside us is a tenet of A Course in Miracles. It means that projection makes perception, that we are a hologram that contains the Whole, though our finite mind cannot conceive of such a glorious Truth. We are a part of God, and with this, we can know that anything is conceivable. Even knowledge of the Whole.
Our days in this world can be glorious, if projection makes perception. What we hold inside our ourselves, we see outside. If we hold conflict inside, we project this, and this is our experience of the world. If we hold Love inside, we see evidence of Love in the world. And the experience changes to something very grand.
We can create the good, holy, beautiful, as well. Let us be about our Father’s business, as Jesus is, and see what may transpire today.
Let Love guide us. And there will be no turning back to a lesser world.
Amen, sister!
