Help to See the World of True Forgiveness

Arrogance makes an image of yourself that is not real. It is this image which quails and retreats in terror, as the Voice for God assures you that you have the strength, the wisdom and the holiness to go beyond all images. You are not weak, as is the image of yourself. You are not ignorant and helpless. Sin can not tarnish the truth in you, and misery can come not near the holy home of God.

All this the Voice for God relates to you. And as He speaks, the image [of separation] trembles and seeks to attack the threat it does not know, sensing its basis crumble. Let it go.

Do as God’s Voice directs. And if It asks a thing of you which seems impossible, remember Who it is that asks, and who would make denial. Then consider this; which is more likely to be right? The Voice that speaks for the Creator of all things, Who knows all things exactly as they are, or a distorted image of yourself, confused, bewildered, inconsistent and unsure of everything? Let not [the ego’s] voice direct you. Hear instead a certain Voice, which tells you of a function given you by your Creator Who remembers you, and urges that you now remember Him.

[God’s Voice] has Thoughts which answer every need His Son perceives, although He sees them not. For Love must give, and what is given in His Name takes on the form most useful in a world of form. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 186, W-pI.186.6:1-7:3;12;13:4-5. See also ACIM Lesson 186 Insights.)

The body we experience as ourself is a made up image based on belief in separation. It is an illusion because it is based on a belief that could never be true. Beliefs can change. The world of made up images we see is unstable because its foundation is unstable.

We free ourselves from this unstable and changeable world by letting go of the mistaken beliefs that are its foundation. The Voice for God is ever-present in our mind, offering us help to release the unstable illusion and return to the certainty of God’s changeless Love. This Help is very specific to help us undo the perceptions we mistakenly believe are true.

If we are willing to listen to this Voice, It will bring us specific answers to our perceived problems in exchange for perception of the real world, the world of true forgiveness, joy and peace. Today we practice willingness to receive the Help that sets us on the path to our Home in Love.
