Remembering God’s Love

The Holy Spirit takes you gently by the hand, and retraces with you your mad journey outside yourself, leading you gently back to the truth and safety within. He brings all your insane projections and the wild substitutions that you have placed outside you to the truth. Thus He reverses the course of insanity and restores you to reason.

In your relationship with your brother, where [the Holy Spirit] has taken charge of everything at your request, He has set the course inward to the truth you share. In the mad world outside you nothing can be shared but only substituted, and sharing and substituting have nothing in common in reality. Within yourself you love your brother with a perfect love. Here is holy ground, in which no substitution can enter, and where only the truth in your brother can abide. Here you are joined in God, as much together as you are with Him. The original error has not entered here, nor ever will. Here is the radiant truth, to which the Holy Spirit has committed your relationship. Let Him bring it here, where you would have it be. Give Him but a little faith in your brother, to help Him show you that no substitute you made for Heaven can keep you from it.

In you there is no separation, and no substitute can keep you from your brother. Your reality was God’s creation, and has no substitute. You are so firmly joined in truth that only God is there. And He would never accept something else instead of you. He loves you both, equally and as one. And as He loves you, so you are. You are not joined together in illusions, but in the Thought so holy and so perfect that illusions cannot remain to darken the holy place in which you stand together. God is with you, my brother. Let us join in Him in peace and gratitude, and accept His gift as our most holy and perfect reality, which we share in Him. (A Course in Miracles, T-18.I.7:3-10:9. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

We all stand together as one in the holiness of God. His holiness created us as holy as Himself. The appearance of billions of bodies with separate identities is just a fragmented projection of the mad idea that it is possible to be separate from our Creator. The truth that unites us all as one is the Love of God, given equally to all.

When we are willing to put the Holy Spirit in charge of all our relationships, He will teach us to see past the fragmented images to the one Love that is in all everywhere. It is this vision that will awaken us from the dream, leading us to the real world where all is forgiven. No thought of judgment enters here, for the innocence of Love is seen as all that is real. From this place of total acceptance of the truth, we awaken to the Heaven of God’s Love we never left in truth.

Today we choose to put the Holy Spirit in charge of all our relationships.

Our Resurrection Is the Remembrance of Love

Very simply, the resurrection is the overcoming or surmounting of death. It is a reawakening or a rebirth; a change of mind about the meaning of the world. It is the acceptance of the Holy Spirit’s interpretation of the world’s purpose; the acceptance of the Atonement for oneself. It is the end of dreams of misery, and the glad awareness of the Holy Spirit’s final dream. …[The resurrection] is the invitation to God to take His final step. It is the relinquishment of all other purposes, all other interests, all other wishes and all other concerns. It is the single desire of the Son for the Father.

Now there are no distinctions. Differences have disappeared and Love looks on Itself. What further sight is needed? What remains that vision could accomplish? We have seen the face of Christ, His sinlessness, His Love behind all forms, beyond all purposes. Holy are we because His Holiness has set us free indeed! And we accept His Holiness as ours; as it is. As God created us so will we be forever and forever, and we wish for nothing but His Will to be our own. Illusions of another will are lost, for unity of purpose has been found.

These things await us all, but we are not prepared as yet to welcome them with joy. As long as any mind remains possessed of evil dreams [of separation], the thought of hell is real. God’s teachers have the goal of wakening the minds of those asleep, and seeing there the vision of Christ’s face to take the place of what they dream. The thought of murder [separation] is replaced with blessing. Judgment is laid by, and given Him [the Holy Spirit] Whose function judgment is. And in His Final Judgment is restored the truth about the holy Son of God. (A Course in Miracles, M-28.1;5:1-6:6)

What is the final dream that leads us to awaken to the truth that we remain Love as God created us? It is the dream of complete forgiveness. It is when we relinquish all our judgments to the Holy Spirit and accept His judgment in their place.

His judgment is simple: Only Love is Real; God’s Son is Love and nothing else. The acceptance of Holy Spirit’s judgment in place of our own resurrects us from the dream of separation and death. It returns us to awareness of the Life we live in God.

Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s judgment in place of our own.
