Awakening to the Love We Are

My mind holds only what I think with God.

That is a fact, and represents the truth of What you are and What your Father is. It is this thought by which the Father gave creation to the Son, establishing the Son as co-creator with Himself. It is this thought that fully guarantees salvation to the Son. For in his mind no thoughts can dwell but those his Father shares. Lack of forgiveness blocks this thought from his awareness. Yet it is forever true.

Let us begin our preparation with some understanding of the many forms in which the lack of true forgiveness may be carefully concealed. Because they are illusions, they are not perceived to be but what they are; defenses that protect your unforgiving thoughts from being seen and recognized. Their purpose is to show you something else, and hold correction off through self-deceptions made to take its place.

And yet, your mind holds only what you think with God. Your self-deceptions cannot take the place of truth. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson Review IV, W-pI.RevIV.2:2-4:2. See also ACIM Lesson Review IV Insights.)

Because God is only Love, His Thoughts are only Love. Our true Self is only Love so our right mind holds only thoughts of Love which are shared with God. Only Love creates. (T-25.III.1) We co-create with God by extending only Love as He does.

The split mind is a way of describing the dream of separation. Nothing in a dream really exists, but it seems very real from within the dream. The dream is a judgment against the oneness of Love. From within the dream we are unaware of the loving thoughts we share with God because the dream denies the reality of Love.

Our identification with being an individual in the dream is self-deception. We are believing we are an illusionary self, disconnected from everyone and everything. As we let the Holy Spirit help us let go of this false belief, we become more aware of our right mind and the loving thoughts we share with God. The dream fades and we become aware of the truth that only Love is real.
