Still a Happier Dream (For Now)

Still a happier dream (for now): 

for the first decade of my practice of A Course in Miracles, and  probably much longer, it was a path taken solely for self-improvement, believing that my carefully constructed illusory world could coexist with the reality of love. As my studied deepened, finally completing the workbook, I began to get a glimmer of how foolish this was - but I was still a few years away from truly knowing exactly how foolish.

there is no self to be improved.

only love is real.

and so there's no improvement here, although it certainly seems to have gotten better, my life is easier in many ways. The Course explains this as a happier dream, that it's an exchange of fearful perceptions for a more insightful view of a still imaginary world. I do deeply appreciate this happier dream, and it seems more veils are dropping everyday, with certain moments of deep clarity, and I'm immersed fully in the reality of love. 

yet still the everyday dream persists. 

but I think the big difference now is that I'm okay with my dream, there's no drive to end the illusion anytime soon. The happier dream is enough for me because I know it as a dream and that it holds infinite possibilities for me to awaken. There's nothing further for me to do, no greater practice nor secret method of to find -

so without a self in need of improvement, in need of anything, really...

I relax.

forgiving my dreamed up world.
