In a vision during meditation, I began to see as if my sight was being healed. Although the world around me did not change, my perspective did. I was happy, and my happiness was not because of anything in the world. Other people, preoccupied with their own lives and concerns, would glance up and see my happiness. For a moment, they recognized something real. For just a moment, they knew that there was more than this world that we see. It was only a moment, and they would return to their concerns and schedules, but that recognition planted itself in their minds like a seed.
I saw the seeds, which had been planted in every mind, as they began to grow. Happiness sprouted in bushes of light that grew from the minds of everyone. And soon, although we still walked and lived in this world, we were focused on our minds. We knew that’s where our happiness was. We knew that Love was in our minds, and we recognized that our minds were one. So, we walked within the world of form, but we did not pay attention to it. It was no longer of value to us. We valued only the Love, Happiness and Oneness of our minds.
When we were ready, God took the final step. He lifted us up out of the world and the world of form disappeared. When it disappeared, there was no loss. Through our experience of the mind, our value had naturally shifted from the world of form to the world of mind, and as God lifted us out of the world, we did not notice the world disappear. Instead, we noticed the intense joy of entering the world of Mind where the Love, Happiness, Communication and Oneness of the Mind was Total and Eternal. There was no loss. There was only gain.
