Thanks for sharing.
If it helps, I could start numbering each verse so you can reference them better. Speaking of long lasting batteries...
1. There is a light in you the world can not perceive.
2. And with its eyes you will not see it.
3. Yet you have eyes to see it.
4. It is there for you to look upon.
5. It was not placed in you to keep hidden from your sight.
6. What would you see? The choice is given you.
7. But learn and do not let your mind forget this law of seeing:
You will look upon that which you feel within.
8. If hatred finds a place within your heart, you will perceive a fearful world, held cruelly in death's sharp-pointed, bony fingers.
9. If you feel the Love of God within you, you will look out on a world of mercy and of love.
10. The world of love welcomes you, rejoices that you came, and sings your praises as it keeps you safe from every form of danger and pain. It offers you a warm and gentle home in which to stay awhile. It offers you its flowers and its snow, in thankfulness for your benevolence.
11. This is the world the Love of God reveals. It is so different from the world you see through darkened eyes of malice and of fear, that one belies the other.
12. Only one of these worlds can be perceived at all. The other is wholly meaningless.
13. The world of hatred is unseen and inconceivable to those who feel the Love of God within them. What they have felt in them they look upon, and see its sure reflection everywhere.
14. Today, seek to reach what is true in us, and feel its all-embracing tenderness, its Love which knows us perfect as itself, its sight which is the gift its Love bestows on us.
15. It's simplicity avoids the snares the foolish convolutions of the world's apparent reasoning but serve to hide.
16. Simply do this: Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is... all concepts you have learned about the world...all images you hold about yourself.
17. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad. Empty your mind of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing.
18. Forget this world. Forget what I teach. And come with wholly empty hands to your God.
19. You need not know the way, because He knows the way to you. Your part is simply to allow all obstacles that you have interposed between the Son and God the Father to be quietly removed forever.
20. Ask and receive. But do not make demands, nor point the road to God by which He should appear to you.
21. The way to reach Him is merely to let Him be.
22. For in that way is your reality proclaimed as well.
Jesus
