There are not different kinds of life, for life is like the truth. ²It does not have degrees. ³It is the one condition in which all that God created share. ⁴Like all His Thoughts, it has no opposite. ⁵There is no death because what God created shares His life. ⁶There is no death because an opposite to God does not exist. ⁷There is no death because the Father and the Son are one.
Death is the thought that you are separate from your Creator. ²It is the belief conditions change, emotions alternate because of causes you cannot control, you did not make, and you can never change. ³It 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. ²He is Lord of what we think today. ³And 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. ²As we were, so are we now and will forever be. (A Course in Miracles, W-167.1;4;11:1-3;12:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 167 Insights.)
It is said that everyone in this world fears death. But it is not our true Self that fears death. Our true Self is Love and nothing else. Fear is simply the absence of Love, which is impossible in truth. Only Love is real. It is only a false image that is afraid of death, but that is a construct of the ego.
We have identified with the ego as what we are. With this misidentification, we experience a dream of lack of Love. This would be death if it were true. What is unreal can never be true. Despite our fearful dreams, we continue to live in the Love of God. Love is our Home, our very nature. Love is What we are. As we forgive our mistaken identification with the ego, we remember our eternal Life in God.
