Determine now to see all …people as friends. Say to them all, thinking of each one in turn as you do so:
I would see you as my friend, that I may remember you
are part of me and come to know myself.Spend the remainder of the practice period trying to think of yourself as completely at peace with everyone and everything, safe in a world that protects you and loves you, and that you love in return. Try to feel safety surrounding you, hovering over you and holding you up. Try to believe, however briefly, that nothing can harm you in any way. At the end of the practice period tell yourself:
Love holds no grievances. When I let all my grievances
go I will know I am perfectly safe.I would wake to my Self by laying all my grievances aside and wakening in Him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 68, W-pI.68.6;7:6. See also ACIM Lesson 68 Insights.)
The Truth in everyone is our best friend forever because It is our one Self. When we have a grievance toward anyone or anything, it is because we are perceiving a false image that hides the Truth of our universal Oneness. If all that is real is one, there is no possibility of conflict or harm because there is no “other” in what is One.
The perception of danger, harm, loss, fear or guilt can only come from the belief that separation is real. Yet separation is not God’s Will and therefore cannot be real. As we learn to forgive the false images and beliefs, the Light of Love’s oneness shines through the shadows of false beliefs.
When we try to imagine what it would feel like to be perfectly safe all the time, we are trying to imagine what it would be like to let go of everything that is false and remember only Truth. This is not fantasy. This is accepting Reality as It is.
Today we practice bringing our grievances to the Holy Spirit to receive His help to let them go.
