| THE REAL WORLD |
The real world is the state of mind in which the only
purpose of the world is seen to be forgiveness.
There is a way of living in the world that is not here, although it seems to be.
You do not change appearance, though you smile more frequently.
Your forehead is serene; your eyes are quiet.
The real world is the symbol that the dream of sin and guilt is over, and God's Son no longer sleeps.
His waking eyes perceive… that he is redeemed
The real world signifies the end of time, for its perception makes time purposeless
