Awakening to Love’s Heaven

The Thought of God created you. It left you not, nor have you ever been apart from it an instant. It belongs to you. By it you live. It is your Source of life, holding you one with it, and every­thing is one with you because it left you not. The Thought of God protects you, cares for you, makes soft your resting place and smooth your way, lighting your mind with happiness and love. Eternity and everlasting life shine in your mind, because the Thought of God has left you not, and still abides with you.

Deny not Heaven. It is yours today, but for the asking.

Ask with desire. You need not be sure that you request the only thing you want. But when you have received, you will be sure you have the treasure you have always sought. What would you then exchange for it? What would induce you now to let it fade away from your ecstatic vision? For this sight proves that you have exchanged your blindness for the seeing eyes of Christ; your mind has come to lay aside denial, and accept the Thought of God as your inheritance. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 165, W-pI.165.2;4:1-2;5. See also ACIM Lesson 165 Insights.)

Because God is only Love, His Thought is Love. The Thought of Love extends Love, remaining one with Its Source. Love is our Source, our safety, our peace and happiness. Love is our true Nature, the one Self Love created as Itself.

Nothing but Love exists. A world where Love is denied is nothing more than a dream, a nightmare filled with conflict, loss, loneliness, lack, fear and guilt. This only seems to be real in a dream that denies Love. Yet the Love that is our inheritance remains with us eternally. We can be unaware of It, but we cannot lose It. We need only awaken from the dream of lovelessness to know our true Self.

From within the dream, its reality seems undeniable. But we have Help to teach us to recognize the dream for what it is. We need to call upon the Voice of Love, forever in our mind, for help to learn the unreality of the dream.

As we learn Love’s lessons, the denial of Love is weakened and the Light of Love shines more brightly in our mind. Our happiness increases. Conflict diminishes and our mind is increasingly at peace. We are awakening to our Home in Love’s Heaven.
