Choosing the Light of Love Within

In quietness is [the peace of God] acknowledged universally. For what your inward vision looks upon is your perception of the universe.

Sit quietly and close your eyes. The light within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer world, and let your thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the way. For honest thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things outside yourself, become the holy messengers of God Himself.

…we acknowledge that the peace of God still shines in us, and from us to all living things that share our life. We will forgive them all, absolving all the world from what we thought it did to us. For it is we who make the world as we would have it. Now we choose that it be innocent, devoid of sin and open to salvation. And we lay our saving blessing on it, as we say:

The peace of God is shining in me now.
Let all things shine upon me in that peace,
And let me bless them with the light in me.
(A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 188, W-pI.188.5:6-6:6;10. See also ACIM Lesson 188 Insights.)

The ego is dishonest. It denies the truth that only the oneness of Love is real. When we accept the ego and its images of separate personalities and bodies as our identity, we are being dishonest with our Self. Because of our dishonesty, we believe in a false image of ourselves and we see a false world. Lies do not change the Truth but they hide It from our awareness. The world we see is the effect of our belief in the ego’s lies.

When we choose to go to the center of peace within us beyond the ego’s false images, we open our minds to the Holy Spirit’s vision of Truth. This vision shows us that the ego’s denials are meaningless. The false identity we have accepted is nothing more than a shadow hiding the presence of Love from our awareness.

As we let the Holy Spirit guide our seeing, we let go of belief in false images, releasing them to the nothingness from which they came. This is true forgiveness. Today we choose the Light of God’s peace and Love to let it dispel the ego’s darkness. This Light reveals our unity with every brother and with God. And we give thanks.
