Why wait for Heaven? ²Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. ³The light is in them now. ⁴Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all. ⁵Light is not of the world, yet you who bear the light in you are alien here as well. ⁶The light came with you from your native home, and stayed with you because it is your own. ⁷It is the only thing you bring with you from Him Who is your Source. ⁸It shines in you because it lights your home, and leads you back to where it came from and you are at home.
⁵It is not difficult to look within, for there all vision starts. ⁶There is no sight, be it of dreams or from a truer Source, that is not but the shadow of the seen through inward vision. ⁷There perception starts, and there it ends. ⁸It has no source but this.
The peace of God is shining in you now, and from your heart extends around the world. ²It pauses to caress each living thing, and leaves a blessing with it that remains forever and forever. (A Course in Miracles, W-188.1;2:5–3:2. See also ACIM Lesson 188 Insights.)
The Light of Love is our true Self. It is forever joyous and at peace. It goes with us wherever we go because It is everything that is real. Whether we are aware of It or not, the Light of Love in us continuously blesses the world with kindness and peace.
We call upon this Light within each time we accept It’s offering of peace. In that peace we welcome the Holy Spirit’s interpretation of all our perceptions. As we accept the Light within, we become Love’s messengers in the world. We forgive the world for all we thought it was.
