There is no death because what God created shares His life. There is no death because an opposite to God does not exist. There is no death because the Father and the Son are one.
Death is the thought that you are separate from your Creator. It is the belief conditions change, emotions alternate because of causes you cannot control, you did not make, and you can never change. It is the fixed belief ideas can leave their source, and take on qualities the source does not contain, becoming different from their own origin, apart from it in kind as well as distance, time and form.
His holy home we strive to keep today as He established it, and wills it be forever and forever. He is Lord of what we think today. And in His Thoughts, which have no opposite, we understand there is one life, and that we share with Him…
We share one life because we have one Source, a Source from which perfection comes to us, remaining always in the holy minds which He created perfect. As we were, so are we now and will forever be. A sleeping mind must waken, as it sees its own perfection mirroring the Lord of life so perfectly it fades into what is reflected there. And now it is no more a mere reflection. It becomes the thing reflected, and the light which makes reflection possible. No vision now is needed. For the wakened mind is one that knows its Source, its Self, its Holiness. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 167, W-pI.167.1:5-7;4;11;12. See also ACIM Lesson 167 Insights.)
Our true Self is God’s one Son, united with Him in Love. In the ego’s dream of separation, our self appears as many bodies, limited in time and space. This appearance is not real, but if we believe it is, we believe we are a false self, which could never be real.
To awaken from this dream, we need a vision that comes from beyond the dream. Christ’s vision is the vision of our true Self which is awake to the eternal presence of Love. When we open our minds to this vision, we see beyond the dream to the Light of Love that unites us all in the one Self that is God’s Son. We awaken from the dream as we are willing to accept Christ’s vision.
Vision takes a willingness to step back from the conflict of the dream and reconnect with the peace of God within us. In peace we see that what we thought happened is only a dream and has no effect whatsoever on our true Self. As we practice opening our mind to His vision, fear and guilt diminish and we experience increasing levels of peace, happiness and Love. We awaken to our eternal Life in God.
