Would you remain within your tiny kingdom, a sorry king, a bitter ruler of all that he surveys, who looks on nothing yet who would still die to defend it?
The minds thirst for happiness is like a bee searching for honey in the flowers it will dart about untill it finds the flower and aligns on it. It has found what it is designed to seek.
And so my mind will seek for that place of rest as that is what it is designed to do. Only in God does it remember its rest and is home.
An untrained mind can accomplish nothing and so the daily lessons of the workbook are its directive impulse:" I Rest In God"
The power of decision is then an action again and again to bring the mind as a mechanism of decision to return to that simple idea, and then by the grace of God, mind stays where it belongs and functions perfectly in all stuations, events, circumstances from that point of rest.
(lesson 188) We take our wandering thoughts, and gently bring them back to where they fall in line with all the thoughts we share with God. We will not let them stray. We let the light within our minds direct them to come home.
We have betrayed them, ordering that they depart from us. But now we call them back, and wash them clean of strange desires and disordered wishes. We restore to them the holiness of their inheritance.
And thus he wanders aimlessly about, in search of something that he cannot find, believing that he is what he is not.God's Son is indeed in need of comfort, for he knows not what he does, believing his will is not his own. The Kingdom is his, and yet he wanders homeless.
At home in God he is lonely, and amid all his brothers he is friendless. Would God let this be real, when He did not will to be alone Himself? And if your will is His it cannot be true of you, because it is not true of Him.
