Our Return to Love Is Guaranteed

The miracle establishes you dream a dream, and that its content is not true. This is a crucial step in dealing with illusions. No one is afraid of them when he perceives he made them up. The fear was held in place because he did not see that he was author of the dream, and not a figure in the dream. He gives himself the consequences that he dreams he gave his brother. …The miracle does nothing but to show him that he has done nothing. What he fears is cause without the consequences that would make it cause. And so it never was.

This world is full of miracles. They stand in shining silence next to every dream of pain and suffering, of sin and guilt. They are the dream’s alternative, the choice to be the dreamer, rather than deny the active role in making up the dream. [Miracles] are the glad effects of taking back the consequence of sickness to its cause. The body is released because the mind acknowledges “this is not done to me, but I am doing this.” And thus the mind is free to make another choice instead. Beginning here, salvation will proceed to change the course of every step in the descent to separation, until all the steps have been retraced, the ladder gone, and all the dreaming of the world undone. (T-28. II.7:1-5,10-12;12)

While we believe the body is our identity, the world seems very real. The one thing that seems guaranteed is that the body will die. There is nothing here that would convince us that this experience is just a story, an illusion of separating from our Creator.

This is why the Holy Spirit was given us to bring a vision to our minds from outside the belief in a world of separation. His mission is to bring us miracles that will show us that what seems so real has no real cause and thus did nothing to change the truth that we are God’s one Son, innocent, whole and unchangeable.

In every moment the miracle of the Holy Spirit’s lesson is available to us to show us the purity of the one Self we share with all that lies beyond the veil of false perception. We always have a choice between believing in the dream of being separate and accepting the freedom the Holy Spirit’s vision offers us.

The first step is to learn and remember that we are the dreamer, not the dream. We are not victim of the dream. We can choose an alternative dream offered by the Holy Spirit which will lead us to see a forgiven world. When our forgiveness is complete, our Creator will carry us across the little gap between the dream and the Reality of our oneness with our Creator. We are guaranteed to find our way Home, for it is God’s Will that we remain one with Him.
