To overcome the world is no more difficult than to surmount your little wall [of guilt]. For in the miracle of your holy relationship, without this barrier, is every miracle contained. There is no order of difficulty in miracles, for they are all the same. Each [miracle] is a gentle winning over from the appeal of guilt to the appeal of love. How can this fail to be accomplished, wherever it is undertaken? Guilt can raise no real barriers against [the appeal of Love]. And all that seems to stand between you and your brother must fall away because of the appeal [of Love] you answered. …[The Holy Spirit’s] home is in your holy relationship. Do not attempt to stand between Him and His holy purpose, for it is yours. But let Him quietly extend the miracle of your relationship to everyone contained in it as it was given.
There is a hush in Heaven, a happy expectancy, a little pause of gladness in acknowledgment of the journey’s end. For Heaven knows you well, as you know Heaven. No illusions stand between you and your brother now. Look not upon the little wall of shadows. The sun has risen over it. How can a shadow keep you from the sun? No more can you be kept by shadows from the light in which illusions end. Every miracle is but the end of an illusion. Such was the journey; such its ending. And in the goal of truth which you accepted must all illusions end. (A Course in Miracles, T-19.IV.A.5:1-7,9-11;6. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The Holy Spirit sees every special relationship as a teaching opportunity. The ego uses special relationships to foster guilt by making separation seem real through exclusion. As we let the Holy Spirit help us forgive the imagined difference between what we are and how we perceive a brother, we remove a barrier to Love.
Each time a shadow of guilt is released from a special relationship, Love is allowed to enter. This is the miracle. Because we are one with every brother, this miracle extends to all the world bringing Love’s blessing to all, for Love cannot be limited.
Our practice of bringing all our perceptions in our special relationships to the Holy Spirit to be purified with Love brings blessing to the world.
