Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. It is not necessary to seek for what is true, but it is necessary to seek for what is false. Every illusion is one of fear, whatever form it takes. And the attempt to escape from one illusion into another must fail. If you seek love outside yourself you can be certain that you perceive hatred within, and are afraid of it. Yet peace will never come from the illusion of love, but only from its reality.
To lift the veil that seems so dark and heavy, it is only needful to value truth beyond all fantasy, and to be entirely unwilling to settle for illusion in place of truth. (A Course in Miracles T-16.IV.6;10:4)
God created His Son complete, giving all of Himself to His creation. Collectively we are God’s Son. We are complete. We were given everything that is; there is nothing else to seek. In this world everyone is seeking completion because everyone believes they are separate from God, their Completion.
If we follow the ego’s guidance, we will seek for love through external images, where Love cannot be found. The path to completion is through letting go of seeing value in anything in the world of form. This is forgiveness. The world of form is a veil that hides the unity of Love That is our Source.
To return to the joy of Heaven, we need to seek out all the beliefs, all the barriers to the awareness of Love’s presence, and bring them to the Holy Spirit with willingness to be shown the Truth beyond the illusionary barriers. We have had mistaken values, but with Holy Spirit’s help we can recognize where there is no value and lift the veil that reveals the Presence of all Value. This is our focus today.
