My mind holds only what I think with God.
"Beyond this world is another world I want." This tells me I have something Sure and True as my goal. It would be difficult to let go of the world of dreams without having something else to hope for. I remind myself I am not "giving up" anything. I replace the world of dreams with EVERYTHING. And in this exchange I receive Unending Love in place of the dream-love that ends in death/loss/abandonment; Unity with all those I Love in place of separation; Eternal Peace in place of judgment/hatred/war; Happiness that never changes to sadness/doubt; a Serenity that replaces boredom/restlessness/jealousy/envy.
"It is impossible to see two worlds." I cannot hold a thought of anxiety in my mind along with a thought of Perfect Peace. I am either very anxious or completely at Peace. I can think a thought of anxiety and then let that go and quickly think a thought of peace, but they cannot both be in my mind at the same time. Even in the world of dreams I can understand this. I will hold a thought of illusions or Truth, but not both at the same time. One brings chaos, the other Peace. I can test this idea and experience its Reality for myself. I will replace any dream-thought with ideas of Truth whenever I feel unsure, anxious, restless, bored. Practice this over and over throughout the day. ACIM is a Course in mind-training. My mind is chaotic; jumping from thought to thought in the world of dreams. I am training my mind to Awaken to the Heaven that surrounds me. So practice!
How do ya get to Carnegie Hall? Practice! Practice! Practice!
