What waits in perfect certainty beyond salvation is not our concern. For you have barely started to allow your first, uncertain steps to be directed up the ladder separation led you down. The miracle alone is your concern at present. Here is where we must begin. And having started, will the way be made serene and simple in the rising up to waking and the ending of the dream. When you accept a miracle, you do not add your dream of fear to one that is already being dreamed. Without support, the dream will fade away without effects. For it is your support that strengthens it.
God builds the bridge, but only in the space left clean and vacant by the miracle. The seeds of sickness and the shame of guilt He cannot bridge, for He can not destroy the alien will that He created not. Let its effects be gone and clutch them not with eager hands, to keep them for yourself. The miracle will brush them all aside, and thus make room for Him Who wills to come and bridge His Son’s returning to Himself.
Be not afraid, my child, but let your world be gently lit by miracles. And where the little gap was seen to stand between you and your brother, join him there. And so sickness will now be seen without a cause. The dream of healing in forgiveness lies, and gently shows you that you never sinned. The miracle would leave no proof of guilt to bring you witness to what never was. (A Course in Miracles, T-28.III.1;6;8:1-5. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
True forgiveness is like opening the shutters and doors to a room that is enclosed off from the light. The light easily dissipates the darkness, for there is no resistance. Darkness has no substance to resist the light. Only the walls, shutters and doors of separation we have made in our minds seem to contain the darkness. Forgiveness removes the barriers to the Light of Love.
The thought system of separation that built the barriers to Love cannot provide the means to remove the barriers. But the Mind of Love is not limited by the mistaken belief in separation. It is to the Voice of Love that we must turn for help to see through the appearances that seem to make separation real. As we practice letting Love shine Its Light on all our perceptions, the barriers we have made fade into the nothingness from which they came. And we are welcomed back into the Heart of Love we never truly left.
