The world remains exactly what it has always been, but we see it with grace and acceptance, knowing it to be the birthplace of seeing/hearing/knowing/understanding/ enlightenment/realization/satori/awakening… The world is Nazareth and the stable in Bethlehem to our conception and birth as Christ-consciousness/Buddha-mind.
