Oneness and sickness [separation] cannot coexist. God’s teachers choose to look on dreams a while. It is a conscious choice. For they have learned that all choices are made consciously, with full awareness of their consequences. The dream says otherwise, but who would put his faith in dreams once they are recognized for what they are? Awareness of dreaming is the real function of God’s teachers. They watch the dream figures come and go, shift and change, suffer and die. Yet they are not deceived by what they see. They recognize that to behold a dream figure as sick and separate is no more real than to regard it as healthy and beautiful. Unity alone is not a thing of dreams. And it is this God’s teachers acknowledge as behind the dream, beyond all seeming and yet surely theirs. (A Course in Miracles, M-12.6)
Acknowledging the unity beyond the dream is our function as we open our minds to Holy Spirit’s way of seeing. The truth is we are one united Spirit of Love. And dreams of separate bodies just reflect the sick mind of the ego that believes in separate bodies and differences.
As we open to the truth, we still see the dream but we see it lightly, like a thin veil hides the one Light of Love behind it. We are reinforcing the fact that we really are the same Light of Love, united as One. Our faith in dreams is dissolving as we become more and more aware that the world is just a dream of being separate and alone. Fear thoughts are shaken off. As they drop away, we see our brothers truly. Fearful behavior is recognized as a call for Love.
We are in deep gratitude as we see that we are here to help every brother awaken to the truth along with us. As we see the truth in every brother, we are indeed being truly helpful.
