Entering into the Presence of Love

This day is holy, for it ushers in a new experience; a different kind of feeling and awareness. You have spent long days and nights in celebrating death. Today you learn to feel the joy of life.

Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning. Yet you have come far enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its laws, and walk into eternity a while. This you will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy place and leaves you, for a moment, to your Self.

Nothing is needed but today’s idea [into His Presence would I enter now] to light your mind, and let it rest in still anticipation and in quiet joy, wherein you quickly leave the world behind. From this day forth, your ministry takes on a genuine devotion, and a glow that travels from your fingertips to those you touch, and blesses those you look upon. A vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. For your experience today will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the holy Thoughts of God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 157, W-pI.157.1:4-6;3;4:3-5:3. See also ACIM Lesson 157 Insights.)

In truth, our true Self’s Presence is always with us. Affirming that we want to enter into His Presence is declaring our willingness to accept our true Self as our Identity. Our true Self knows our unity with Love, our Creator. When we identify with the body, we are identifying with an illusion, making ourselves unaware of our true Self, our true Identity.

When we identify with our true Self, we identify with Love, peace and joy. This is our inheritance, given us by our Creator without limit. We experience this when we stop trying to make real an identity in a separate body with a private mind, isolated from our brothers. When we enter into the Presence of our true Self, we recognize our oneness with every brother, for we share this one Self. When we see the loving truth of our brother, we enter into the Presence of Love.
