Accepting Our Resurrection

…those who believe in the resurrection will see it. The resurrection is the complete triumph of Christ over the ego, not by attack but by transcendence. For Christ does rise above the ego and all its works, and ascends to the Father and His Kingdom.

Learning of Christ is easy, for to perceive with Him involves no strain at all. His perceptions are your natural awareness, and it is only the distortions you introduce that tire you. Let the Christ in you interpret for you, and do not try to limit what you see by narrow little beliefs that are unworthy of God’s Son.

I am your resurrection and your life. You live in me because you live in God. And everyone lives in you, as you live in everyone. Can you, then, perceive unworthiness in a brother and not perceive it in yourself? And can you perceive [unworthiness] in yourself and not perceive it in God? Believe in the resurrection because it has been accomplished, and it has been accomplished in you. (A Course in Miracles, T-11.VI.1:5-7;3:7-9;4:1-6. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

There is no life in the world we see and experience with the body because it is the denial of our unity with the Source of all Life. Resurrection is revitalization — returning to Life. There is only one Life, and That we share with God.

To experience the Life we share with God, we need to rise above the ego’s limited beliefs and perceptions and welcome the Mind of Christ in us to be the Interpreter of all things. The Mind of Christ knows that we live together with all our brothers in God. As we let the Christ Mind lift us above the ego’s limited beliefs, we are revitalized with the limitless Life of God.

The lifeless experience of the ego is recognized as nothing but illusion which we easily set aside and transcend. This is how we accept the resurrection as our own, along with all our brothers.

Accepting God’s Changeless Love

This is the shift that true perception brings: What was projected out is seen within, and there forgiveness lets it disappear.

Where God’s memory has come at last there is no journey, no belief in sin, no walls, no bodies, and the grim appeal of guilt and death is there snuffed out forever.

O my brothers, if you only knew the peace that will envelop you and hold you safe and pure and lovely in the Mind of God, you could but rush to meet Him where His altar is. Hallowed your Name and His, for they are joined here in this holy place. Here He leans down to lift you up to Him, out of illusions into holiness; out of the world and to eternity; out of all fear and given back to love. (A Course in Miracles, C-4.6:1;7:7-8:2)

Forgiveness is the path to Heaven’s gate. It is the release from illusions that we could be anywhere but safe in the Heart of God. It is the acceptance that the appearance of being separate and excluded from Heaven can only be illusion.

Illusions recognized as illusions disappear. This recognition is forgiveness. God’s Voice is always with us, given us to teach us to recognize illusion as it is and to give us His strength to see past illusion.

As we accept His help and let all illusions go, we stand at the gate of Heaven where God takes us into His Arms and welcomes us to the Home we never really left. It is a celebration of joy as we accept God’s changeless Love as our own.

Serving Your True Self’s Will

The Holy Spirit holds salvation in your mind, and offers it the way to peace. Salvation is a thought you share with God, because His Voice accepted it for you and answered in your name that it was done. Thus is salvation kept among the Thoughts your Self holds dear and cherishes for you.

Salvation comes from this one Self through Him Who is the Bridge between your mind and It. Wait patiently, and let Him speak to you about your Self, and what your mind can do, restored to It and free to serve Its Will. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 96, W-pI.96.7:2-4;8:3-4. See also ACIM Lesson 96 Insights.)

There is a part of us that remains perfect Love as Love created It. It is ever present, though denial has made us unaware of It. This part of us wills only to share Its Love and join with the Love that is everywhere always, changeless and in peace. That is the will of our true Self.

While we seem to remain in a world of separate bodies and forms, our only function is to hold our minds open to the vision of our true Self, the vision of Love. As we are able to let Love be our Guide, judgment is replaced by the recognition of innocence; fear is replaced by joining in Love. We become messengers of Love and serve our true Self’s Will. This is how we bring salvation to the world.

Joining with God’s Love

…give ten minutes set apart from listening to the world, and choose instead a gentle listening to the Word of God.… His Love is everything you are and that He is; the same as you, and you the same as He.

It is the Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of will and purpose, with no separation nor division in the single Mind of Father and of Son. In quiet listen to your Self today, and let Him tell you God has never left His Son, and you have never left your Self.

Only be quiet. You will need no rule but this, to let your practicing today lift you above the thinking of the world, and free your vision from the body’s eyes. Only be still and listen. You will hear the Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in His Father’s Will, at one with it, with no illusions interposed between the wholly indivisible and true. As every hour passes by today, be still a moment and remind yourself you have a special purpose for this day; in quiet to receive the Word of God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 125, W-pI.125.7:1,4;8:3-4;9:1-5. See also ACIM Lesson 125 Insights.)

As we give time to join with the Source of Love within us, we open to a new way of being in this world… As we feel the Love from our Father, we naturally extend it to the world… we naturally see that this same Love is in everyone… We happily join with this Love and let It carry us into ways of true helpfulness…

Fear thoughts fall away as we remember that the Father and the Son are joined as one eternally… We are filled with gratitude as we remember that this is forever true.

Seeing the Christ in Every Brother

When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him you will see yourself. As you treat him you will treat yourself. As you think of him you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose yourself.

Give him his place in the Kingdom and you will have yours. (A Course in Miracles, T-8.III.4:1-5;5:12. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The Kingdom of Heaven is shared with everyone. God gave all of Himself to everyone equally. As we recognize that we share the Christ Mind with every brother, and realize it is our one real Mind, we see our brother as he really is and not what we would make of him or how he would see himself.

We want to return to the truth. We have the opportunity to practice this every day as we let the Holy Spirit show us the truth about every brother. And for this we give thanks.

The Way to Freedom

There is no more effective way to begin to free yourself from the egoic misidentification and its consequences than to turn over decision making to the Holy Spirit. This is what is meant by surrender. You have relied on the ego as your guide and identity for too long, and it has cost you dearly. The most effective way to withdraw your allegiance is to turn your life over to the Guide God has given you. He will not fail to lead you out of the trap you have made and back to freedom in God. (Quote from From the Christ Mind Book II, p. 228)

The most important habit we can develop to free ourselves from the bondage of the ego mind is to step back and listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Time spent in quiet listening as you open to the Holy Spirit’s peace and understanding will lead you to Heaven. The Holy Spirit will lead you to the awareness of Love’s Presence.

With your willingness to be open and listen, the Holy Spirit shines away the false ideas which have blinded you to your true Identity in the Mind of God. Now is the time to free yourself from the bondage of the ego. Now is the time to accept Holy Spirit’s help.

God’s Justice Sees Innocence Equally in All

God offers you the means to see [your brother’s] innocence. Would it be fair to punish him because you will not look at [the innocence that] is there to see? Each time you keep a problem for yourself to solve, or judge that it is one that has no resolution, you have made it great, and past the hope of healing. You deny the miracle of justice [seeing innocence equally in all] can be fair.

If God is just, then can there be no problems that justice cannot solve. (A Course in Miracles, T-26.II.5:5-6:1. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

As we are willing to accept the Holy Spirit’s vision, we see past the forms of separate bodies to the innocence that is the truth about everyone. This vision sees beyond what the body’s eyes can see. The body’s senses were made to deny true vision. This is why no problem can be truly solved within the limits imposed by the body in the world of separation.

The appearances of myriad problems in the world are different coverings for one problem — the belief that separation is real. The Holy Spirit knows only oneness is real and that belief in separation is simply a mistake to be corrected. From the vantage point of seeing innocence equally in all, the Holy Spirit is able to resolve every problem in a way that no one loses, no one sacrifices and everyone is blessed.

This is why we need to practice moment by moment holding our minds open to the Holy Spirit’s vision. As we align with His vision, perceived problems are quickly resolved in the Light of Love. The Light of Love shows us everyone’s innocence and shows that we are all united in that Love.

Today we choose to accept Holy Spirit’s help to let down the walls of separation and welcome God’s gift of perfect unity and peace.
