Do I Want the Peace of Heaven?

What can it be but arrogance to think your little errors cannot be undone by Heaven’s justice? And what could this mean except that they are sins and not mistakes, forever uncorrectable, and to be met with vengeance, not with justice? Are you willing to be released from all effects of sin [belief in separation]? You cannot answer this until you see all that the answer must entail. For if you answer “yes” it means you will forego all values of this world in favor of the peace of Heaven. Not one sin would you retain. And not one doubt that this is possible will you hold dear that sin be kept in place. You mean that truth has greater value now than all illusions. And you recognize that truth must be revealed to you, because you know not what it is.

The sight of innocence makes punishment impossible, and justice sure. The Holy Spirit’s perception leaves no ground for an attack. Only a loss could justify attack, and loss of any kind He cannot see. …only justice can set up a state in which there is no loser; no one left unfairly treated and deprived, and thus with grounds for vengeance.

What is God’s belongs to everyone, and is his due. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.IX.1;4:1-3,6;10:10. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

God’s gift of His Love is just because He gives His Love equally to all eternally. Nothing in His Creation is excluded; loss of God’s Love is impossible.

The ego is the denial of justice because it denies the equality of Love’s oneness. When we identify with the ego, our perception will always be unjust, for it will always see differences, winners and losers. The perception of some as having more than others brings guilt with it, for it is an attack on God’s gift of His Love. Peace cannot be found with the ego’s perception of the world.

Our true Self is Love and nothing else. It sees only Itself, for nothing but Love exists in truth. In every moment we choose between the ego’s perception, which denies Love, and accepting our true Self. We have taught ourselves to believe separation (sin) is real.

It is time to choose a different Teacher, One Whose curriculum is to teach only Love. His lessons teach us to let go of the value we have given everything in the world. When this undoing is complete, we see only Love. We overlook the ego’s image-making because we see no value in its illusions. When all value of the ego has been let go, we awaken to the peace of Heaven.
