Being a Co-creator with Love

The test of everything on earth is simply this; “What is it for?” ²The answer makes it what it is for you. ³It has no meaning of itself, yet you can give reality to it, according to the purpose that you serve.

A co-creator with the Father must have a Son. ²Yet must this Son have been created like Himself. ³A perfect being, all-encompassing and all-encompassed, nothing to add and nothing taken from; not born of size nor place nor time, nor held to limits or uncertainties of any kind. ⁴Here do the means and end unite as one, nor does this one have any end at all. ⁵All this is true, and yet it has no meaning to anyone who still retains one unlearned lesson in his memory, one thought with purpose still uncertain, or one wish with a divided aim.

⁵It is essential it be kept in mind that all perception still is upside down until its purpose has been understood. ⁶Perception does not seem to be a means. ⁷And it is this that makes it hard to grasp the whole extent to which it must depend on what you see it for. ⁸Perception seems to teach you what you see. ⁹Yet it but witnesses to what you taught. ¹⁰It is the outward picture of a wish; an image that you wanted to be true.

…it is given you to make a different choice, and use perception for a different purpose. ¹³And what you see will serve that purpose well, and prove its own reality to you. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.VII.6:1-3;7;8:5-10;11:12-13. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The purpose of everything the ego makes in the world is to reinforce the perceived reality of separation. When we ask of everything, “What is it for?” we need to acknowledge whether its purpose is to reinforce belief in separation or recognize Love’s oneness. This distinction is the key to remembering our true Self as co-creator with God. All true Creation is extension of Love. Any thought of limitation denies Love and supports separation.

Today can be an important day in the process of healing our mind. As we question the purpose of everything we perceive, and let the Holy Spirit show us the truth, we open our mind to Love. Every perception has the potential, if seen truly, to bring us remembrance of our true Self as God’s one Son. Our true Self remains forever united in Love with Its Source. Today will be a happy day of healing.
