This is my holy instant of release.
Father, it is today that I am free, because my will is Yours. ²I thought to make another will. ³Yet nothing that I thought apart from You exists. ⁴And I am free because I was mistaken, and did not affect my own reality at all by my illusions. ⁵Now I give them up, and lay them down before the feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind. ⁶This is my holy instant of release. ⁷Father, I know my will is one with Yours.
And so today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. ²The Son of God this day lays down his dreams. ³The Son of God this day comes home again, released from sin and clad in holiness, with his right mind restored to him at last. (A Course in Miracles, W-227. See also ACIM Lesson 227 Insights.)
The Course offers us many ways to look at our experience in the world. But at their core, they bring us one message: The world of form, of separation and loss, is not our will and therefore it is not real. The Will of our true Self is one with God’s. In any instant of full acceptance of this fact, we return to the Heaven of God’s Love.
We are not the ego, the wish for specialness. But we have invested heavily in this wish. We have come to believe that we are a body, different from all others. This belief stands as a barrier against knowing our true will.
We can take a step today toward accepting our true will by reminding ourselves that we are not a body. We are willing to let Love guide our thoughts and actions. We ask the Holy Spirit to add His strength to our willingness to accept the truth. With this practice, our release to awareness of our Home in Heaven grows more clear.
