Freeing Ourselves to Be Love

In our remembrance of each other lies our remembrance of God. And in this remembrance lies your freedom because your freedom is in Him. Join, then, with me in praise of Him and you whom He created. This is our gift of gratitude to Him, which He will share with all His creations, to whom He gives equally whatever is acceptable to Him. Because it is acceptable to Him it is the gift of freedom, which is His Will for all His Sons. By offering freedom you will be free.

Freedom is the only gift you can offer to God’s Sons, being an acknowledgment of what they are and what He is. Freedom is creation, because it is love. Whom you seek to imprison you do not love. Therefore, when you seek to imprison anyone, including yourself, you do not love him and you cannot identify with him. When you imprison yourself you are losing sight of your true identification with me and with the Father. Your identification is with the Father and with the Son. It cannot be with One and not the Other. If you are part of One you must be part of the Other, because They are One. The Holy Trinity is holy because It is One. If you exclude yourself from this union, you are perceiving the Holy Trinity as separated. You must be included in It, because It is everything. Unless you take your place in It and fulfill your function as part of It, the Holy Trinity is as bereft as you are. No part of It can be imprisoned if Its truth is to be known. (A Course in Miracles, T-8.IV.7:6-8:13. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

We imprison ourselves and our brothers by believing we are separate identities. What is one cannot encompass separate identities because if separate identities were true, oneness would no longer exist. The most repeated Workbook lesson (201-220) asks us to remind ourselves, “I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.” Disconnecting our identification from the body sets us free to accept our Identity in the oneness of Love. It is letting go of limitation and accepting the limitlessness of the eternal universe of Love.

The Holy Spirit is one with the universe of Love, which encompasses God and all of His Creation. It is also the bridge between God and the split mind that dreams of separation and limitation. It is this Bridge which we must call upon to help us see past our mistaken beliefs and let them go. The ego is the idea of limitation and is incapable of guiding us to the recognition of oneness.

Today we call upon the Holy Spirit in our minds to help us see past our mistaken beliefs and see the truth of Love that is eternally present beyond all forms.
