Accepting Our Oneness with God

…what you need are intervals each day in which the learning of the world becomes a transitory phase; a prison house from which you go into the sunlight and forget the darkness. ²Here you understand the Word, the Name which God has given you; the one Identity which all things share; the one acknowledgment of what is true. ³And then step back to darkness, not because you think it real, but only to proclaim its unreality in terms which still have meaning in the world that darkness rules.

Use all the little names and symbols which delineate the world of darkness. ²Yet accept them not as your reality. ³The Holy Spirit uses all of them, but He does not forget creation has one Name, one meaning, and a single Source which unifies all things within Itself. ⁴Use all the names the world bestows on them but for convenience, yet do not forget they share the Name of God along with you.

God has no name. ²And yet His Name becomes the final lesson that all things are one, and at this lesson does all learning end. ³All names are unified; all space is filled with truth’s reflection. ⁴Every gap is closed, and separation healed. ⁵The Name [Identity] of God is the inheritance He gave to those who chose the teaching of the world to take the place of Heaven. ⁶In our practicing, our purpose is to let our minds accept what God has given as the answer to the pitiful inheritance you made as fitting tribute to the Son He loves.

Father, our Name is Yours. ²In It we are united with all living things, and You Who are their one Creator. ³What we made and call by many different names is but a shadow we have tried to cast across Your Own reality. ⁴And we are glad and thankful we were wrong. ⁵All our mistakes we give to You, that we may be absolved from all effects our errors seemed to have. ⁶And we accept the truth You give, in place of every one of them. ⁷Your Name is our salvation and escape from what we made. ⁸Your Name unites us in the oneness which is our inheritance and peace. ⁹Amen. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 184, W-184.10–12;15. See also ACIM Lesson 184 Insights.)

The daily practice of taking time to open to the presence of God within us is the key to awakening from the ego’s dream. The dream was made to hide the inheritance that God gave His son in His creation. Everything that God is, our true Self is. Our true Self shares His Identity—His perfect Love and undisturbable peace.

We are so accustomed to the ego’s dream of separation that we do not question its reality. it takes willingness and practice to step away from the dream and rise above it where the atmosphere is quiet, filled with the changeless Love and the peace of God. If we let ourselves rise to this, our natural environment, we can return to the dream, bringing with us the awareness that this world is not our Home. We bring greater certainty that we share the Identity of God. The world becomes increasingly less captivating with this daily practice.
