We Have the Means to Remember Love

Conflict must be between two forces. It cannot exist between one power and nothingness. There is nothing you could attack that is not part of you. And by attacking it you make two illusions of yourself, in conflict with each other. And this occurs whenever you look on anything that God created with anything but love. Conflict is fearful, for it is the birth of fear. Yet what is born of nothing cannot win reality through battle. Why would you fill your world with conflicts with yourself? Let all this madness be undone for you, and turn in peace to the remembrance of God, still shining in your quiet mind.

…what [God] loves must be forever quiet and at peace because it is His home.

You who are beloved of Him are no illusion, being as true and holy as Himself. The stillness of your certainty of Him and of yourself is home to Both of You, Who dwell as One and not apart. Open the door of His most holy home, and let forgiveness sweep away all trace of the belief in sin that keeps God homeless and His Son with Him. You are not a stranger in the house of God. Welcome your brother to the home where God has set him in serenity and peace, and dwells with him. Illusions have no place where love abides, protecting you from everything that is not true. You dwell in peace as limitless as its Creator, and everything is given those who would remember Him. Over His home the Holy Spirit watches, sure that its peace can never be disturbed.” (A Course in Miracles, T-23.I.8;9:6-10:8. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Our natural condition is in a state of peace. If anything disturbs our peace, it is a sure sign that we are believing in a false image of ourselves. It is an indication that there is a belief to be forgiven or let go.

This is why forgiveness is the central teaching of the Course. It is the means to remove the barriers to the awareness of Love’s presence. God’s Love and peace are already ours, being What we are. All we need do to remember God, our Home, is to let go of the self-imposed barriers that make us unaware of Who we are.

Every day, every moment that we experience a disturbance of our peace, is an opportunity to forgive and heal. All things are lessons God would have us learn. We learn that we are Love by extending Love. We learn that we are Love by forgiving the false ideas that hide Love’s presence from our awareness. Let us walk in gratitude today that we have the means to remember Who we are.
