> "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.|
>
> Yet 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.|
>
> 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 [thus] is shown to you?
> What would you wish to keep in such a dream?|
>
> 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. [But] 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 can not be found.
>
> Today we will not seek for them, nor waste
> this day in seeking not [what can] 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 is
> to choose between, and nothing more than these.|
>
> 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 [we] cannot see two worlds.
> It also teaches that the one [we] see
> is quite consistent from the point of view
> from which [we] see it. It is all a piece
> because it stems from one emotion, and
> reflects its source in everything you see.|
>
> Six times today, in thanks and gratitude,
> we gladly give five minutes to the thought
> [which] ends all compromise and doubt, and go
> beyond [it] 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 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.
> Nor will you fail to see His thanks expressed
> in tangible perception and in 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.|
>
> Dismiss temptation easily today
> whenever it arises, merely by
> remembering the limits [on] 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.|
> #Accept a little part of hell as real,
> and you have damned your eyes and cursed your sight,
> and what you will behold is hell indeed.
> 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." "
