²You have need to use the symbols of the world a while. ³But be you not deceived by them as well. ⁴They do not stand for anything at all, and in your practicing it is this thought that will release you from them. ⁵They become but means by which you can communicate in ways the world can understand, but which you recognize is not the unity where true communication can be found.
Thus 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. (A Course in Miracles, W-184.9:2–10:3. See also ACIM Lesson 184 Insights.)
To let our mind be healed, we need to practice stepping back from the busyness of the world to rise above it into the quiet peace of God. In peace we can receive God’s Word Which tells us that our true Identity is one with Him.
In quietness we feel His blessing flow through us as we become His messenger of Love to the world. Frequent brief pauses throughout the day help us maintain our clear channel of Love in the dream where Love has been unwelcome.
