All fear is past and only love is here.
All fear is past, because its source is gone, and all its thoughts gone with it. ²Love remains the only present state, whose Source is here forever and forever. ³Can the world seem bright and clear and safe and welcoming, with all my past mistakes oppressing it, and showing me distorted forms of fear? ⁴Yet in the present, love is obvious, and its effects apparent. ⁵All the world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I perceive a world forgiven at last.
Father, let not Your holy world escape my sight today. ²Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns of gratitude the world is singing underneath the sounds of fear. ³There is a real world which the present holds safe from all past mistakes. ⁴And I would see only this world before my eyes today. (A Course in Miracles, W-293. See also ACIM Lesson 293 Insights.)
The ego would not seem to exist without “memories” of the past. It uses the past to justify guilt, which is essential to maintain the appearance of separation. Judgment depends upon belief in differences.
Yet Love is universal and one. It is the same everywhere, always, never changing. The certainty of Love is our refuge from the ego’s fear and guilt. We can count on it always being the same. We need only accept this gift our Creator gave us without reservation.
This Love unites us with every brother in our Source. We are at Home in Love and nowhere else. Nothing else exists in truth. We can relax into Love’s peace. We can joyously celebrate our unity in the happy, eternal extension of Love. Now is the time to accept the Love we are.
