Remembering Our Perfect Safety in God

Today’s idea, [God is the Mind with which I think] holds the key to what your real thoughts are. They are nothing that you think you think, just as nothing that you think you see is related to vision in any way. There is no relationship between what is real and what you think is real. Nothing that you think are your real thoughts resemble your real thoughts in any respect. Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision will show you.

You think with the Mind of God.… As you are part of His Mind, so are your [real] thoughts part of His Mind.

We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back. We will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would have us do is impossible. Instead, we will try to recognize that only what God would have us do is possible.

We will also try to understand that only what God would have us do is what we want to do. And we will also try to remember that we cannot fail in doing what He would have us do. There is every reason to feel confident that we will succeed today. It is the Will of God.

…tell yourself gently:

My real thoughts are in my mind. I would like to find them.

Under all the senseless thoughts and mad ideas with which you have cluttered up your mind are the [real] thoughts that you thought with God in the beginning. They are there in your mind now, completely unchanged. They will always be in your mind, exactly as they always were.

Here is your mind joined with the Mind of God. Here are your thoughts one with His. …this is no idle game, but an exercise in holiness and an attempt to reach the Kingdom of Heaven. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 45,W-pI.45.1;2:1,8;4:4-6;5;6:3-4;7:1-3;8:2,8. See also ACIM Lesson 45 Insights.)

We are not the ego. But when we believe the ego is our identity, we believe the ego’s illusions are our real thoughts. Identification with the ego brings with it the entire world of separation. The ego’s “senseless thoughts and mad ideas” hide the real thoughts we share with God. We really want to find the real thoughts we share with God because we want to remember that we are perfectly safe and at Home in the Love of God.
