A new experience: A miracle.Rosa MenaA deep desire of a new experience, a completely different experience is within... I cannot pretend that I am not hearing this call. There is something else, something real, an experience waiting for me to be accepted in my mind. I cannot waste time pretending that I know what to do here, and making all my perceptions “real”. Maybe you have had the experience of looking for something, and later a sense of emptiness or fear is there. Yes, of course, it is so familiar. Why, then, do I need to insist that the world is going to give me the answer, or something...like happiness, for example? It is ridiculous and insane! A desire to see differently is what I need. A firm desire to change my perception and have the experience of seeing beyond the body--the world, my fabrication. The world will not give me anything. It is an illusion, a projection of my mind. A bunch of old images in disuse. A state of mind where a miracle, a new experience, a new vision, a desire to see is required. If this intention is in my mind, this is what I am going to experience right away. Jesus says: “You see what you believe is there, and you believe it there because you want it there. Perception has no other law than this.” It is so simple; it is in my mind where I make the decisions, nowhere else. As soon as I accept it, I begin to experience a new world in each moment. It is like going through different parallel worlds, but knowing that those parallel worlds are not outside of my mind, they are within me; and experiencing them depends on what guide I choose to listen to. I have a real guide, the Holy Spirit, but there is another voice, that one is an illusion and comes from the ego system. Do I want to listen to it? When I say there is another way of looking at the world, I am asking for help, I am declaring that I do not know, that I have no idea what is going on here. This is my dream, and I need help. When I say there is another way of looking at the world, or you, or this situation, an action in my mind is taking place, and my willingness of seeing light is increasing. My desire for a miracle is calling out. “There is another way of looking at the world.” “Today’s idea is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your perception of the world in both its outer and inner aspects.” (...) “Remember to apply today’s idea the instant you are aware of distress.” (2 Lesson 33. 1. 1~2. 4. 1~2) A miracle is a new way of seeing the world, my brother, myself. It is a moment of surrender of my ego where the acceptance of my real identity is present, and God-my Father is, and I am one with Him. |
