³There is no relationship between what is real and what you think is real. ⁴Nothing that you think are your real thoughts resemble your real thoughts in any respect. ⁵Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision will show you.
You think with the Mind of God. ²Therefore you share your thoughts with Him, as He shares His with you. ³They are the same thoughts, because they are thought by the same Mind. ⁴To share is to make alike, or to make one. ⁵Nor do the thoughts you think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because thoughts do not leave their source. ⁶Therefore, your thoughts are in the Mind of God, as you are. ⁷They are in your mind as well, where He is. ⁸As you are part of His Mind, so are your thoughts part of His Mind.
⁵We will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would have us do is impossible. ⁶Instead, we will try to recognize that only what God would have us do is possible.
…tell yourself gently:
⁴My real thoughts are in my mind. ⁵I would like to find them.
⁶Then try to go past all the unreal thoughts that cover the truth in your mind, and reach to the eternal.
…this is no idle game, but an exercise in holiness and an attempt to reach the Kingdom of Heaven. (A Course in Miracles, W-45.1:3–2:8;4:5-6;6:3-6;8:7. See also ACIM Lesson 45 Insights.)
In the dream, we believe in a mistaken separate identity. The thoughts of which we are aware stem from this mistaken identity. Our existence in the dream is not real. But like every dream, we are not aware of anything beyond the limits of the dream. We need help to see beyond the dream’s limitations.
Today’s exercise will help us open our mind to the truth beyond the dream. We are Love and nothing else, as God Is. We remain safe in His Love, and share His Thoughts of Love. As we let our minds receive the Thoughts we share with God, we let His Love guide our thoughts away from fear and back to the Thoughts of Love we share with God.
With this practice we will become aware of the Love we are and see that Love in everyone. The realization that Love is the only reality will return us to our Home in the Heaven of Love.
