You have need to use the symbols of the world a while. But be you not deceived by them as well. They do not stand for anything at all, and in your practicing it is this thought that will release you from them. They become but means by which you can communicate in ways the world can understand, but which you recognize is not the unity where true communication can be found.
Thus what you need are intervals each day in which the learning of the world becomes a transitory phase; a prison house from which you go into the sunlight and forget the darkness. …And then step back to darkness, not because you think it real, but only to proclaim its unreality in terms which still have meaning in the world that darkness rules.
Use all the little names and symbols which delineate the world of darkness. Yet accept them not as your reality. The Holy Spirit uses all of them, but He does not forget creation has one Name, one meaning, and a single Source which unifies all things within Itself. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 184, W-pI.184.9:2-5;10:1,3;11:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 184 Insights.)
We pause now to open our minds to the presence of Love… We bathe in Love’s Light… and welcome Its peaceful touch… We feel the comfort of remembering our unity with every brother and our Source… We feel the joy flowing throughout the unity without limit… We rest in It awhile… We feel Its strength fill our being…
In this calm and quiet state, we remember our true Identity is Love… With joy in our hearts we bring this awareness with us as we step back into the world of form… We remember that all the forms are simply symbols which we use to express the reality of Love, Its strength and Its happiness…
The blessing we feel we extend to the world…
