Remembering God’s Love for Us All

When you made visible what is not true, what is true became invisible to you. ²Yet it cannot be invisible in itself, for the Holy Spirit sees it with perfect clarity. ³It is invisible to you because you are looking at something else. ⁴Yet it is no more up to you to decide what is visible and what is invisible, than it is up to you to decide what reality is. ⁵What can be seen is what the Holy Spirit sees. ⁶The definition of reality is God’s, not yours.

Because of your Father’s Love you can never forget Him, for no one can forget what God Himself placed in his memory. ²You can deny it, but you cannot lose it. ³A Voice will answer every question you ask, and a vision will correct the perception of everything you see. ⁴For what you have made invisible is the only truth, and what you have not heard is the only Answer. ⁵God would reunite you with yourself, and did not abandon you in your distress. ⁶You are waiting only for Him, and do not know it. ⁷Yet His memory shines in your mind and cannot be obliterated. ⁸It is no more past than future, being forever always.

…the memory of God can dawn only in a mind that chooses to remember, and that has relinquished the insane desire to control reality. (A Course in Miracles, T-12.VIII.3:1-6;4;5:3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The ego’s wish for specialness is the wish to control reality. But Reality is defined by God; It is His Love, uniformly one eternally. Specialness cannot exist in what is all the same. To control reality it must be deny Love. It conjures an alternate ‘reality’ where differences conflict, fear is inevitable, and memory of our Father’s Love is unknown.

God wants us to remember His Love. We make the choice to remember when we are willing to forgive our judgments. Forgiveness welcomes the Light of Love into our mind. This Light reveals the Love that unites with Him and all His Creation. It restores our peace and happiness. It gives us vision to see everyone as part of our one Self.

The Gift That Unites Us with All

Forgiveness is the only gift I give.

Forgiveness is the only gift I give, because it is the only gift I want. ²And everything I give I give myself. ³This is salvation’s simple formula. ⁴And I, who would be saved, would make it mine, to be the way I live within a world that needs salvation, and that will be saved as I accept Atonement for myself.

Father, how certain are Your ways; how sure their final outcome, and how faithfully is every step in my salvation set already, and accomplished by Your grace. ²Thanks be to You for Your eternal gifts, and thanks to You for my Identity. (A Course in Miracles, W-297. See also ACIM Lesson 297 Insights.)

The ego is the idea that there is value in differences. But the wish to have a unique identity can only seem to be fulfilled in a dream where fantasy replaces reality. The oneness of our Father’s Love is eternal and cannot be effected by fantasy, though It can be hidden behind a veil of illusions.

Forgiveness is the only meaningful gift we can give to anyone. It opens our awareness to the Love that is everyone’s Identity. Because Love is one, forgiveness is a gift that encompasses everyone, including ourselves. Forgiveness brings peace to the world, because there is no conflict within the Love that is one and the same for all.

Seeing Our Unity in Love

⁹Everyone God created is part of you and shares His glory with you. ¹⁰His glory belongs to Him, but it is equally yours. ¹¹You cannot, then, be less glorious than He is.

³Neither God’s light nor yours is dimmed because you do not see. ⁴Because the Sonship must create as one, you remember creation whenever you recognize part of creation. ⁵Each part you remember adds to your wholeness because each part is whole. ⁶Wholeness is indivisible, but you cannot learn of your wholeness until you see it everywhere. ⁷You can know yourself only as God knows His Son, for knowledge is shared with God. ⁸When you awake in Him you will know your magnitude by accepting His limitlessness as yours.

Very simply, the Holy Spirit teaches you to awaken others. ³As you see them waken you will learn what waking means, and because you have chosen to wake them, their gratitude and their appreciation of what you have given them will teach you its value.

⁸Accept [the truth in] your brother in this world and accept nothing else, for in him you will find your creations because he created them with you. ⁹You will never know that you are co-creator with God until you learn that your brother is co-creator with you. (A Course in Miracles, T-9.VI.3:9-11;4:3-8;5:2-3;7:8-9. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

God’s Light illuminates all of Reality. There is nowhere that His Love is absent. Only in dreams that deny His Love does His Light seem to be absent. Through forgiveness, Christ’s vision allows God’s Light into the dark dream. This Light shows us the truth in every brother. It allows us to see the Love that is his true Self.

As we see the Love in him, it awakens the Love in us. In this recognition we acknowledge our oneness with our brother. In gratitude, we join together to extend Love to the world.

The Way to Bring Peace to Our World

I will accept Atonement for myself.

Here is the end of choice. ²For here we come to a decision to accept ourselves as God created us. ³And what is choice except uncertainty of what we are? ⁴There is no doubt that is not rooted here. ⁵There is no question but reflects this one. ⁶There is no conflict that does not entail the single, simple question, “What am I?”

Yet who could ask this question except one who has refused to recognize himself?

Nothing the world believes is true. ²It is a place whose purpose is to be a home where those who claim they do not know themselves can come to question what it is they are. ³And they will come again until the time Atonement is accepted, and they learn it is impossible to doubt yourself, and not to be aware of what you are.

Only acceptance can be asked of you, for what you are is certain.

…our mission is:

³I will accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as God created me.

⁴We have not lost the knowledge that God gave to us when He created us like Him. ⁵We can remember it for everyone, for in creation are all minds as one. (W-139.1:1-2:1;7:1–8:1;11:2-5)

The world we see represents our denial of our Self, which God created like Him. All the apparent conflict we perceive will disappear as we accept that we remain as God created us.

Today we accept our mission to forgive our mistaken wish for specialness and accept that we remain whole within the universe of Love as our Home. It is the mission that will bring peace and happiness to the world.

Letting Go of Limits on Love

Whom God created limitless is free. ²I can invent imprisonment for him, but only in illusions, not in truth. ³No Thought of God has left its Father’s Mind. ⁴No Thought of God is limited at all. ⁵No Thought of God but is forever pure. ⁶Can I lay limits on the Son of God, whose Father willed that he be limitless, and like Himself in freedom and in love?

Today let me give honor to Your Son, for thus alone I find the way to You. ²Father, I lay no limits on the Son You love and You created limitless. ³The honor that I give to him is Yours, and what is Yours belongs to me as well. (A Course in Miracles, W-280.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 280 Insights.)

The ego is an attempt to separate off part of God from Himself. The result is a terrifying dream in which limited figures wander in fear of outside forces capable of taking all that they treasure. Peace is impossible in this dream because the Source of peace has been denied. This dream seems like reality, but it has no effect on the Reality of God’s Creation.

In truth, we are all united as God’s one Son, forever one in His Love. We can awaken from this dream by forgiving the wish for specialness. The Holy Spirit is the bridge in our mind between our dreams of lack of Love and the unity we share with all in our Father’s Love. Today we accept the Holy Spirit’s help to let go of our limits on Love and welcome our Father’s embrace, which encompasses all without limit.

Making the Choice for Love

Heaven is the decision I must make.

Heaven is chosen consciously. ²The choice cannot be made until alternatives are accurately seen and understood. ³All that is veiled in shadows must be raised to understanding, to be judged again, this time with Heaven’s help. ⁴And all mistakes in judgment that the mind had made before are open to correction, as the truth dismisses them as causeless. ⁵Now are they without effects. ⁶They cannot be concealed, because their nothingness is recognized.

The conscious choice of Heaven is as sure as is the ending of the fear of hell, when it is raised from its protective shield of unawareness, and is brought to light.

We make the choice for Heaven as we wake, and spend five minutes making sure that we have made the one decision that is sane. ²We recognize we make a conscious choice between what has existence and what has nothing but an appearance of the truth. ³Its pseudo-being, brought to what is real, is flimsy and transparent in the light. …⁵Now it is recognized as but a foolish, trivial mistake.

⁵Heaven is the decision I must make. ⁶I make it now, and will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want. (W-138.9:1–10:1;11:1-3,5;12:5-6)

The ego makes its choices unconscious to prevent them from being questioned. This supports its claim to be a separate identity, vulnerable to outside forces beyond its control. But every choice has an effect. If a choice denies Reality, it produces a dream of alternate images that hide Reality from our awareness.

To awaken from the dream, we need to bring our choices out of the darkness of the unconscious. As we observe our choices in the Light of the Holy Spirit’s vision, it becomes clear that choices made which deny Love’s Reality have no substance.

We do not want the lack of Love that is the consequence of denying Love. With this recognition, the choice to accept the Love we are comes naturally.

The Vision That Brings Peace and Happiness

My present happiness is all I see.

Unless I look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see. ²Eyes that begin to open see at last. ³And I would have Christ’s vision come to me this very day. ⁴What I perceive without God’s Own Correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful to behold. ⁵Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. ⁶This the day I seek my present happiness, and look on nothing else except the thing I seek.

With this resolve I come to You, and ask Your strength to hold me up today, while I but seek to do Your Will. ²You cannot fail to hear me, Father. ³What I ask have You already given me. ⁴And I am sure that I will see my happiness today. (A Course in Miracles, W-290. See also ACIM Lesson 290 Insights.)

Christ’s vision is God’s correction for the body’s myopic vision which can only see illusions. Images of differences and division are replaced by the remembrance of our unity in the oneness of Love.

We experience only peace and happiness as we accept the strength of our Father’s Love to see past the illusions of the dream. In gratitude we accept His gifts as we forgive our mistaken wish for specialness.
