This is a day of silence and of trust. It is a special time of promise in your calendar of days. It is a time Heaven has set apart to shine upon, and cast a timeless light upon this day, when echoes of eternity are heard.
Your body will be sanctified today, its only purpose being now to bring the vision of what you experience this day to light the world. We cannot give experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a vision in our eyes which we can offer everyone, that he may come the sooner to the same experience in which the world is quietly forgot, and Heaven is remembered for a while.
As this experience increases and all goals but this become of little worth, the world to which you will return becomes a little closer to the end of time; a little more like Heaven in its ways; a little nearer its deliverance. And you who bring it light will come to see the light more sure; the vision more distinct. The time will come when you will not return in the same form in which you now appear, for you will have no need of it. Yet now it has a purpose, and will serve it well. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 157,W-pI.157.1:1-3;6-7. See also ACIM Lesson 157 Insights.)
The body is an illusion and has no meaning nor purpose of its own. It is made holy when it is given the purpose of bringing Christ’s vision to the world. As we join with our true Self in our mind, we bring Christ’s vision of innocence and oneness into the dream of separation. This practice teaches us to step back from our judgments, our guilt and our fear, and welcome the Light of Love that is in our mind eternally. As we share this Light with the world, we bring it healing as we heal our mind as well.
This is how we enter into the Presence of Christ; we enter into the Presence of our true Self. In this Presence is our joy and peace, for it places us in the Presence of God. It returns us to the Heaven that is our Home.
