…separation is the source of guilt, and to appeal to [separation] for salvation is to believe you are alone. To be alone is to be guilty. For to experience yourself as alone is to deny the Oneness of the Father and His Son, and thus to attack reality. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.V.2:5-7)
To want to have a unique identity with private thoughts we would keep as our own is to want separation. To want separation is to want guilt. Guilt is attractive because it reinforces the isolation of separation. It is the principal means the ego uses to hold belief in separation in place in our minds.
While we choose to maintain a separate identity, we cannot experience Love’s oneness. We cannot experience peace. We cannot experience the joy of God. Thankfully we have the means in our mind to step away from the mistaken idea that separation offers us anything of value.
As we practice being vigilant for every thought of littleness, of uniqueness, of separation, and bringing those thoughts with an open mind to the Holy Spirit, His Light will shine away the false ideas and reveal the all encompassing oneness of God’s Love. This practice is the practice of forgiveness. It is how we accept all encompassing Oneness.
