Heart Contents
A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.
We look upon a world we have made.
This is such a challenging concept because we think the world exists outside of our senses, and that we simply experience the goings-on of an objective world.
But we have it completely upside down. As A Course in Miracles states, “The world you see is the witness to your state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition.”
Therefore, if we want to know what emotions we will sense, all we need to do, in the words of Goethe, is see what we carry in our heart. Which is simply an extension of a choice we’ve made in our mind.
If we don’t like what we feel and see, then we can make another choice in our mind and perceive a completely different outcome.
