Finding Our Invulnerability in God’s Love
It is surely obvious that if you can be attacked you are not invulnerable. You see attack as a real threat. That is because you believe that you can really attack. And what would have effects through you must also have effects on you.
Because your attack thoughts will be projected, you will fear attack. And if you fear attack, you must believe that you are not invulnerable. Attack thoughts therefore make you vulnerable in your own mind, which is where the attack thoughts are. Attack thoughts and invulnerability cannot be accepted together. They contradict each other.
…you always attack yourself first.
…vulnerability or invulnerability is the result of your own thoughts. Nothing except your thoughts can attack you. Nothing except your thoughts can make you think you are vulnerable. And nothing except your thoughts can prove to you this is not so. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 26, W-pI.26.1:1-4;2;3:1;4. See also .)
Thoughts about what might happen in the future or about something we experienced or did in the past are attack thoughts. They deny the changelessness and oneness of the Love that is What we are. Love can neither harm nor be harmed.
Our attack thoughts always involve some element of belief in the reality of change, which could never be true about our true Self. The ego feeds us a constant stream of thoughts based upon “memories” of the past to “prepare us” for an imagined future. Yet nothing the ego believes happened or can happen is real and therefore could never occur in truth.
To remember the truth about ourself, we need to bring our thoughts from the past to the Holy Spirit and ask Him for help to heal these misperceptions. He will shine His Light on these dark shadows from the past so we can learn that Love is here now and always. Love is our safety, our refuge, our place of invulnerability, forever protected by Its changelessness.
Today we practice being mindful of thoughts that disturb our peace of mind. We bring these thoughts to the Holy Spirit with willingness to receive His help. This is how we free our minds from attack thoughts and find peace in Love’s invulnerability.
