Any thought not Love, is fear or some form of fear (annoyance, attack, judgment, anger, grief, sadness, impatience, etc). If I hold fearful thoughts in my mind, I will see a fearful world. If I hold attack thoughts in my mind, I will see a world of attack. If I hold sad thoughts in my mind, I will see a sad world. If my thoughts are hopeless, I will see a hopeless world. I project my thoughts outward, creating the world I see. If I change my thoughts, I change the world.
If I project angry thoughts onto the world, I will see vengeance all around me. My own counter-attack will then be perceived as self defense. This thinking becomes a vicious circle, until I am willing to change how I think. Otherwise, thoughts of attack and counter-attack will preoccupy my mind and fill my entire world. Is there any peace of mind possible for me?
I want to escape these savage fantasies. Is it not Joyous news to hear that the world's insanity is not Real? Is it not a happy discovery to find that I can escape this madness? I made the world and everyone in it and created all circumstances and situations. Everything I hate and "love" about this world and those in it, I have created. Yet I now learn that none of it exists because it is only fantasy.
Five times today, for a minute or so, look at the world around me. Let my eyes move slowly from one object to the next, from one body to another, saying to myself: "I see nothing Real. What I see I have created to separate myself from God. Is this really what I want to see?" This answer is obvious.
