Welcome to Active Meditation A Course in Miracles,
Lesson 131 No one can fail who seeks to reach the Truth.
We will devote ten minutes three times today.
We will ask to see the rising of the real world to replace the foolish images that we hold dear.
With true ideas arising in the place of thoughts that have no meaning,
No effect.
Thoughts that have neither source nor substance in the Truth.
As we start upon our practice periods,
Begin with this.
Repeat after me.
I ask to see a different world.
I ask to think a different kind of thought from those I made.
The world I seek,
I did not make alone.
The thoughts I want to think are not my own.
For several minutes watch your mind and see the senseless world you think is real.
Review the thoughts as well,
Which are compatible with such a senseless world,
And which you think are true.
Now,
Let these thoughts go.
Sink below these thoughts,
To the holy place where they can enter not.
There is a door beneath these thoughts in your mind,
Which you could not completely lock to hide what lies beyond.
Seek for that door now and find it.
Before you try to open it,
Remind yourself,
No one can fail who seeks to reach the Truth.
And it is this request you make today.
Nothing but the search for Truth has any meaning now.
No other goal is valued now.
No other goal is sought.
Nothing before this door do you really want.
It is only what lies past the door do you seek.
Put out your hand and see how easily the door swings open with your one intent,
To go beyond.
Angels light the way so that all darkness vanishes.
You are standing in a light so bright and clear that you can understand all things you see.
A tiny moment of surprise,
Perhaps,
Will make you pause before you realize the world you see before you in the light reflects the Truth you knew.
The Truth you did not quite forget in wandering away in dreams.
Stand in this light for a few moments,
Understanding all that you see,
Seeing the Truth you did not quite forget.
The Truth you did not quite forget.
The Truth you did not quite forget.
The Truth you did not quite forget.
The Truth you did not quite forget.
This is a day of gladness,
For we come to the appointed time and place where you will find the goal of all your searching,
And all the seeking of the world.
All this ends today as you pass beyond the door.
Today is set by Heaven itself to be a time of grace,
For you and for the world.
If you forget this happy fact,
Remind yourself with this.
Say to yourself,
Say in your mind,
Today,
I seek and find all that I want.
My single purpose offers it to me.
No one can fail who seeks to reach the Truth.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the Peace of God.
