LESSON 226

My home awaits me. I will hasten there.

1. 1If I so choose, I can depart this world entirely. 2It is not death which makes this possible, but it is change of mind about the purpose of the world. 3If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so will it still remain for me. 4But if I see no value in the world as I behold it, nothing that I want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it will depart from me. 5For I have not sought for illusions to replace the truth.

2. 1Father, my home awaits my glad return. 2Your Arms are open and I hear Your Voice. 3What need have I to linger in a place of vain desires and of shattered dreams, when Heaven can so easily be mine?
