Letting Truth Dawn Upon Our Mind

I can escape from this world by giving up attack thoughts.

²Herein lies salvation, and nowhere else. ³Without attack thoughts I could not see a world of attack. ⁴As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness, I will see a world of peace and safety and joy. ⁵And it is this I choose to see, in place of what I look on now.

I do not perceive my own best interests.

²How could I recognize my own best interests when I do not know who I am? ³What I think are my best interests would merely bind me closer to the world of illusions. ⁴I am willing to follow the Guide God has given me to find out what my own best interests are, recognizing that I cannot perceive them by myself.

I do not know what anything is for.

²To me, the purpose of everything is to prove that my illusions about myself are real. ³It is for this purpose that I attempt to use everyone and everything. ⁴It is for this that I believe the world is for. ⁵Therefore I do not recognize its real purpose. ⁶The purpose I have given the world has led to a frightening picture of it. ⁷Let me open my mind to the world’s real purpose by withdrawing the one I have given it, and learning the truth about it. (A Course in Miracles, W-55.3:1–5:7. See also ACIM Lesson 55 Insights.)

Forgiveness is the path that leads from a life of uncertainty, conflict, fear and guilt to the life we live in God. The life God wills for us is only happiness, peace and Love.

We have accepted a false identity that denies our true Self. It is the denial of Love and all Its attributes. This denial appears in many forms: sadness, loneliness, frustration, fear and anger. We have trained our mind to believe in differences instead of the changelessness of Love.

Today we practice vigilance to recognize the ways we judge and keep ourselves separate. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us see the truth beyond our perceptions. As we let truth dawn upon our mind, we awaken to the life we live in God.
