Father, I was created in Your Mind, a holy Thought that never left its home. I am forever Your Effect, and You forever and forever are my Cause. As You created me I have remained. Where You established me I still abide. And all Your attributes abide in me, because it is Your Will to have a Son so like his Cause that Cause and Its Effect are indistinguishable. Let me know that I am an Effect of God, and so I have the power to create like You. And as it is in Heaven, so on earth. Your plan I follow here, and at the end I know that You will gather Your effects into the tranquil Heaven of Your Love, where earth will vanish, and all separate thoughts unite in glory as the Son of God.
Let us today behold earth disappear, at first transformed, and then, forgiven, fade entirely into God’s holy Will.” (, A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 326,W-pII.326. See also ACIM Lesson 326 Insights.)
The idea of the earth disappearing is terrifying to the ego because it would the end of the ego. This is true. But the ego never was real. It is just a thought system that is in direct opposition to reality. It is only our belief in it that makes it seem real.
It is in the letting go of identifying with this false idea that we are freed to join with God’s holy Will. We realize we have never left our Home in Love. The Course says, “When not one thought of sin remains, the world is over. It will not be destroyed nor attacked nor even touched. It will merely cease to seem to be.” (M-14.1)
We accept that Love is our Cause by letting go of (forgiving) our belief in the ego as our identity. This is the path that leads us Home to the tranquil Heaven of God’s Love.
