Beyond all idols is the Thought God holds of you. Completely unaffected by the turmoil and the terror of the world, the dreams of birth and death that here are dreamed, the myriad of forms that fear can take; quite undisturbed, the Thought God holds of you remains exactly as It always was. Surrounded by a stillness so complete no sound of battle comes remotely near, It rests in certainty and perfect peace. Here is your one reality kept safe, completely unaware of all the world that worships idols, and that knows not God. In perfect sureness of Its changelessness and of Its rest in Its eternal home, the Thought God holds of you has never left the Mind of its Creator, Whom it knows as Its Creator knows that It is there.
An idol or the Thought God holds of you is your reality. Forget not, then, that idols must keep hidden what you are, not from the Mind of God, but from your own. The star shines still; the sky has never changed. But you, the holy Son of God Himself, are unaware of your reality.” (A Course in Miracles, T-30.III.10;11:7-10. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
The world we see through the body’s eyes seem so real. Yet the Course is telling us that what we see, along with the body, is just made up images that hide our true Reality from our awareness. This is good news, because the world we see is constantly changing, unreliable and offers us no certain safety.
Though we are unaware of it, God holds us as His Thought eternally in His Mind, safe, changeless and whole. As we are willing to accept the Holy Spirit’s lessons, we will learn to see past the false images of the world, recognizing their meaninglessness. What has no meaning nor substance cannot prevent us from becoming aware of the certainty of our safety in God. The Holy Spirit’s lessons are lessons in Love, peace and perfect happiness. We would accept His lessons today.
