Forgiving Belief in Separation

What if you recognized this world is an hallucination? What if you really understood you made it up? What if you realized that those who seem to walk about in it, to sin and die, attack and murder and destroy themselves, are wholly unreal? Could you have faith in what you see, if you accepted this? And would you see it?

Hallucinations disappear when they are recognized for what they are. This is the healing and the remedy. Believe them not and they are gone. (A Course in Miracles, T-20.VIII.7:3-8:3)

We see a world of separate bodies because we believe in separation. We believed that we separated from the pure Love that created us. We are now learning that our Source is oneness, and Love’s oneness shares all of Itself with all. We are now learning to let go of the false idea that we could be separate and alone. We are learning that we have the means (Holy Spirit) right in our minds to return to the truth that our Identity is Love. We are returning to the truth that only Love is real. Anything that appears to be separate from Love is just hallucinations. We are learning to forgive this false belief in separation and let it go.

We do this by following our inner Teacher — hour by hour, day by day. He leads us back to the awareness that we never left Heaven. We never left our one eternal Self. We could never leave God. We are dreaming a dream and its content is not true. Our only purpose now is to forgive or let go of the dream. We are seeing that what we thought was something is really nothing. Oh, what a relief it is to wake up from the dream, see everyone’s innocence, and recognize nothing has happened to change God’s one Son.

Following Holy Spirit Through the To Do List

There is plenty on our to-do list today. We can look at it with the ego and use it to put ourselves under pressure and feel overwhelmed. Or we can look at it with Holy Spirit and let Him lead us through it with gentleness and ease.

As we let Him guide all our doing, each moment becomes a lesson in Love instead of the ego’s lesson in fear. As we open to Holy Spirit’s lessons in Love, our day becomes fulfilling and happy. We feel the blessing of letting the Love in us extend in each moment. This is our practice today.

Forgiveness Is My Only Function

Forgiveness gently looks upon all things unknown in Heaven, sees them disappear, and leaves the world a clean and unmarked slate on which the Word of God can now replace the senseless symbols written there before. Forgiveness is the means by which the fear of death is overcome, because it holds no fierce attraction now and guilt is gone. Forgiveness lets the body be perceived as what it is; a simple teaching aid, to be laid by when learning is complete, but hardly changing him who learns at all. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.192.4)

Today we dedicate to being mindful of how we are perceiving each moment. Are we experiencing anything other than peace and quiet joy? If not, an unforgiveness is interfering with our awareness of the Truth. We will take this interference to the Holy Spirit in our minds with willingness to receive His help to lay down the interference and return to recognize the truth that we remain in Love as Love created us, perfectly safe. This is our practice today.

The Power of Our Decision

How can a meaningless world exist if God did not create it? He is the Source of all meaning, and everything that is real is in His Mind. It is in my mind too, because He created it with me. Why should I continue to suffer from the effects of my own insane thoughts, when the perfection of creation is my home? Let me remember the power of my decision, and recognize where I really abide. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.53.4:2-6)

In every moment we have the option to choose to see with the Holy Spirit instead of the ego. The ego cannot see what the Holy Spirit sees. It cannot see truth, wholeness or innocence. But if we so choose, we can see the innocence, the Love that is our brother and our Self. Nothing real exists outside this Self that God created as His one Son. The seeming option is only a choice between what exists and what does not.

Today we dedicate, by our decision, to aligning our minds with the Holy Spirit and joining with His vision. With this decision we will see our innocence reflected in the world. We will recognize that we remain safe at Home in the Love of God. With Holy Spirit’s help, we will overlook the images of the ego world and recognize that we are Spirit at Home in God. We have the power to decide to recognize our eternal safety. It is this we practice today.

Remembering We Are One Self

You are one Self, in perfect harmony with all there is, and all that there will be. You are one Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers in that Self; united with your Father in His Will. Feel this one Self in you, and let It shine away all your illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the Son of God Himself, sinless as Its Creator, with His strength within you and His Love forever yours. You are one Self, and it is given you to feel this Self within you, and to cast all your illusions out of the one Mind that is this Self, the holy truth in you. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.95.13)

Our one Self is always there in our minds waiting for our acceptance. As we open to our one Self, we are naturally filled with a deep sense of peace and well being. We inherently know that, in truth, all is well and everything is all right. We inherently know that we are eternally safe in the one Mind of God. All our doubts disappear in Its healing Light.

Our practice for today is to consistently open up to the healing Light of our one Self. With consistent practice we let our one Self express through us. We remember that every brother is one with us in our one Self. We share one Identity. And for this we give thanks.

Opening to Our Holy Vision

Your purpose is to see the world through your own holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed together. No one loses; nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains through your holy vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice because it offers everyone his full due. And he is entitled to everything because it is his birthright as a Son of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.37.1:2-6)

To give everyone their full due, we must be willing to open up to Holy Spirit’s vision. The Holy Spirit remembers that everyone has all of God in them, just like we do. The true beingness of everyone is the same Love of God.

To practice this consistently we must exercise our “I don’t know what anything means” muscle. It seems so easy to bring the past to the present and project it into the future. So we practice, again and again, stepping back and letting Holy Spirit show us the eternal present in God. Practicing this consistently is worth the effort. It brings us peace, happiness and joy. We are brought to the awareness of our real Life, the Life we all live in God as God’s one holy Son.

So we practice today, again and again, letting Holy Spirit lead the way, healing our perceptions of separation and returning us to the awareness of Love’s eternal Presence. This is how we see the world through our own holiness. This is how we accept our birthright as a Son of God.

We Rise Above the Battleground

In every moment we have the opportunity to rise above the battleground of the ego’s world to see the Love that is ever present. We take the opportunity each time we are willing to let the Holy Spirit interpret all our perceptions. Anything we try to interpret on our own will be mistaken because it is based upon an imagined past.

But when we let the Holy Spirit interpret all things on our behalf, we will learn to see the Love and oneness beyond the fear and disconnectedness. This is how we forgive. This is how we loose the world from all we thought it was. This is how we return to Love. We are grateful for another day filled with opportunities to practice rising above the battleground.
