The Name of God is the inheritance He gave to those who chose the teaching of the world to take the place of Heaven. In our practicing, our purpose is to let our minds accept what God has given as the answer to the pitiful inheritance you made as fitting tribute to the Son He loves.
No one can fail who seeks the meaning of the Name of God. Experience must come to supplement the Word. But first you must accept the Name for all reality, and realize the many names you gave its aspects have distorted what you see, but have not interfered with truth at all.”
Father, our Name is Yours. In It we are united with all living things, and You Who are their one Creator. What we made and call by many different names is but a shadow we have tried to cast across Your Own reality. And we are glad and thankful we were wrong. All our mistakes we give to You, that we may be absolved from all effects our errors seemed to have. And we accept the truth You give, in place of every one of them. Your Name is our salvation and escape from what we made. Your Name unites us in the oneness which is our inheritance and peace. Amen. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 184, W-pI.184.12:5-13:3;15. See also ACIM Lesson 184 Insights.)
God shared His Identity with His Son, our true Self. God’s Identity is our inheritance. In the story of the prodigal son, the son left his home and his inheritance. Yet his father saved his son’s inheritance for him and celebrated his return.
Likewise, God’s Identity is still ours, even though we wander in the wilderness of the dream of separation. We can awaken from the dream by being willing to give all our mistaken perceptions to Him to be absolved of their effects. As we accept that only Love is real we escape from our dream, awakening to our unity with all in the Home our Father has held open for our return. We join in joyous celebration that we are truly at home in Love.
