Remembering We Are at Home in Love

Be very still an instant. Come without all thought of what you ever learned before, and put aside all images you made. The old will fall away before the new without your opposition or intent.

Forgive your brother all appearances, which are but ancient lessons that you taught yourself about the sinfulness in you. Hear but his call for mercy and release from all the fearful images he holds of what he is and of what you must be. …The journey’s goal… is but to decide to walk with him, so neither leads nor follows. Thus it is a way you go together, not alone. And in this choice is learning’s outcome changed, for Christ has been reborn to both of you. (A Course in Miracles, T-31.II.8:1-3;9:1-2,5-7. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

A very important lesson to learn is that what we believe about a brother is what we believe about ourselves. If we believe another can harm us in any way, we believe we can harm. This can only be a false image because Love created us as Love and Love cannot harm.

Thus if we perceive attack from another, we must let the Holy Spirit’s vision show us what is true beyond the appearance. Only Love is true and It cannot attack. And so the appearance of attack is a false image. If we feel threatened by perceived attack, we are believing in a false image of ourselves that we believe can be harmed. This is our own call for Love.

In that moment it is time to be still with willingness to set aside our beliefs about our brother and ourself. Thus do we open to the vision of Christ to show us the truth beyond appearances. With the vision of Christ as our Guide, we are led to respond with Love in a form that is truly helpful for both our brother and ourself. This is the path that will lead us Home to the full remembrance that we are at Home in Love.
