My Only Purpose

The purpose of the world is idolatry, that I might forget the truth. Idolatry brings only guilt, and guilt is the only cause of pain in any form. I believe in idols. I expect something from my brother and attack him in my thoughts when he does not satisfy. It is my judgment and my attack that make the world seem real to me. I have set myself up, and I continually mistake illusions for reality.
There is no world; it is only my dream. The world is harmless because it is my dream. Nothing bad can happen because nothing really happens. There is no gap between me and my brother.
The purpose of the real world is the state of mind in which I see that nothing in the world is real and forgive it. To forgive is to genuinely see that all idols, all specifics, in the world are false. Then, in my quiet mind, I open to the guidance communicated by the Holy Spirit. I join with my brother and see his innocence. Behind the screen of the world is the reality of God’s Love, and joy is my sacred right.
"In confidence walk with a happy heart that beats in hope."
