Where your body happens to be is not your stability. It may seem so. You love entering and exiting the same door every day. You love coming home to this box that shelters you from the elements and that, whether you rent or own, you call your own. This is your hideaway. This is where you eat and sleep and raise your family.
All the while, you live nowhere but with Me.
You live in a world. You speak the word world easily enough. You rattle off the word world without embracing its meaning. Universe the same. If you entered the meanings of these words as you speak them, you would be humbled and ennobled at the same time. You live in a WORLD. You live in a UNIVERSE. You live in ONE WORLD. You would be so touched by these words, so overwhelmed, you would hardly be able to speak them. And yet you rattle the words off as if they were nothing at all.
You may say, “What a wonderful world.” You may even sing a beautiful song with those words, and yet you have separated your heart from these four simple words. You may even throw up your hands and say in dismay, “What a world,” meaning it is less than wonderful.
You live in a world of wonder. That you are alive in it and roam the world is its own miracle. That you live in Heaven without awareness is phenomenal. You are with Me. In that case, that you are in Heaven is inescapable, yet you have escaped the magnificent inescapable and engineered yourself elsewhere. What a wonderful mind can do.
You read a fairy tale, and while you read it, you believe it. You believe in ogres and fairy godmothers and in all kinds of magic. For a while, you are transported to a fairyland. For a while, there is no other world.
What you call ordinary life is an extraordinary fairy tale in the sense that, while you are in it, you are in it. You live with the senses, and, for a while, forget there is another world out there, forget there is Heaven and you cannot quite imagine it. You imagine the world, and it dominates you. You can’t quite imagine Heaven, and yet the word Heaven exists, and it is the only Real.
Of course, Heaven and the world do meet. There is Heaven on Earth, and now Earth is rising up. There will not even be a rim between them. The light in the world will take on a different cast. It will be clearer, brighter, lighter, for, according to your perception, the world changes.
You are entering other dimensions. There is no space, and yet you enter new dimensions of perception. You do understand more. There has been a shift. When you shift the gears of your car, you allow for a new speed. What is speed but time? You are gaining on the speed of light. Hurray, you are gaining on the speed of light.
The gears of life have already been shifted. You are riding in that car, and, of course, you go where it takes you, where it seemingly takes you. It takes you higher, and yet you were always high. Well, what would you be in My heart if not high? You are risen. You already are wherever I am, and I am nowhere but in that non-space called Heaven, and you are nowhere but with Me. You are of Me. You are not peripheral. You are integral. We are One Love.
