It is only because you have exerted so much effort in trying to make illusions true, that effort and vigilance are necessary to free yourself.
It
is only your awareness that needs protection, since being cannot be
assailed. Yet a real sense of being cannot be yours while you are
doubtful of what you are. This is why vigilance is essential. Doubts
about being must not enter your mind, or you cannot know what you are
with certainty. Certainty is of God for you. Vigilance is not
necessary for truth, but it is necessary against illusions. T-6.V.C.8:4-9.
Belief
does not require vigilance unless it is conflicted. If it is, there
are conflicting components within it that have led to a state of war,
and vigilance has therefore become essential. Vigilance
has no place in peace. It is necessary against beliefs that are not
true, … T-7.VI.7:3-6.
When
you strive for anything in this world in the belief that it will
bring you peace, you are belittling yourself and blinding yourself to
glory. Littleness and glory are the choices open to your striving and
your vigilance. You will always choose one at the expense of the
other. T-15.III.1:6-8.
Now
you are merely asked that you pursue another goal with far less
vigilance; with little effort and with little time, and with the
power of God maintaining it, and promising success. T-24.VI.12:1.
