T-17.I.5. Think you that you can bring truth to fantasy, and learn what truth means from the perspective of illusions? 2 Truth has no meaning in illusion. 3 The frame of reference for its meaning must be itself. 4 When you try to bring truth to illusions, you are trying to make illusions real, and keep them by justifying your belief in them. 5 But to give illusions to truth is to enable truth to teach that the illusions are unreal, and thus enable you to escape from them. 6 Reserve not one idea aside from truth, or you establish orders of reality that must imprison you. 7 There is no order in reality, because everything there is true.
When I'm sitting on top of my own bonfire, burning up, it's no good asking people to throw little cups of water on it. That won't work.
From my own perspective, the problem cannot be solved.
Rather, the problem is created by the perspective, so the real problem is the perspective: self-reliance.
Instead, when you're burning up, throw yourself into the ocean (of truth).
Abandon everything.
How?
Take one line, e.g. 'Let every voice but God's be still in me.' (ACIM, Lesson 254), or 'We are sure God wants us to be happy, joyous, and free.' (Chapter 9 of 'Alcoholics Anonymous') and concentrate only on that.
For the rest of the day, go on a self-diet. Don't think about self. Don't talk about self. Don't bring truth to self. Bring self to the truth and drown it by focusing on the one idea of the day and only on that.
