Dismantling the Ego’s Wall Against Love

God goes with me wherever I go.

We understand that you do not believe all this. How could you, when the truth is hidden deep within, under a heavy cloud of insane thoughts, dense and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we will make our first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy cloud, and to go through it to the light beyond.

Try… to get a sense of turn­ing inward, past all the idle thoughts of the world. Try to enter very deeply into your own mind, keeping it clear of any thoughts that might divert your attention.

…sink down and inward, away from the world and all the foolish thoughts of the world. You are trying to reach past all these things. You are trying to leave appearances and approach reality.

It is quite possible to reach God. In fact it is very easy, because it is the most natural thing in the world. You might even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way will open, if you believe that it is possible. This exercise can bring very startling results even the first time it is attempted, and sooner or later it is always successful.

You can indeed afford to laugh at fear thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever you go. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 41, W-pI.41:5;6:5-6;7:2-8:5;10. See also ACIM Lesson 41 Insights.)

Our true Self is always peaceful, joyful and loving, for It remains united with the Love that created It. The identity we believe we are is a disguise made by the ego to hide the Truth. It is a smoke screen built upon lies and made-up images which we believe are real. That is the world we believe in. Yet it only seems to be there because we believe in it. But belief does not make it real; it only blinds us the to reality of Love.

We are innately loving, joyous and peaceful. We remember this when we forgive our beliefs in the reality of separation. The thought system of separation is a closed loop that builds a wall blinding us to the reality of Love.

The Holy Spirit provides the help we need from beyond the wall to dismantle it, belief by belief. At its core, every block in this wall is founded on one mistaken belief: Separation is real. We have given these blocks many labels and forms. We must forgive the forms, one by one until we recognize their common core. With this recognition, the wall comes tumbling down. The Light of Love dawns upon our minds. We can see clearly now, for the clouds are gone and we remember the Love we are.
