Death is the central dream from which all illusions stem.
Death is the symbol of the fear of God. His Love is blotted out in the idea [of death], which holds [Love] from awareness like a shield held up to obscure the sun.
Without the idea of death there is no world. All dreams will end with this one. This is salvation’s final goal; the end of all illusions. And in death are all illusions born.
Teacher of God, your one assignment could be stated thus: Accept no compromise in which death plays a part. Do not believe in cruelty, nor let attack conceal the truth from you. What seems to die has but been misperceived and carried to illusion. Now it becomes your task to let the illusion be carried to the truth. Be steadfast but in this; be not deceived by the “reality” of any changing form. Truth neither moves nor wavers nor sinks down to death and dissolution. And what is the end of death? Nothing but this; the realization that the Son of God is guiltless now and forever. Nothing but this. But do not let yourself forget it is not less than this. (A Course in Miracles, M-27.1:1;3:1-2;6:3-6;7)
Love is the source of Life. Because Love is one and indivisible, to believe separation is real is to believe death is real. There can be no life where Love is absent. But in reality Love is everywhere. Nothing else exists. This fact guarantees that we are forever safe in the Love of God. Only in a dream of separation can it seem that death (lack of Love) is real. We can awaken from this deadly dream by choosing Love as our Guide for all our thoughts, words and actions.
Each time we forgive a perception of separation, the way is opened to accept God’s Love and the Life we live in Him. The Holy Spirit is our Guide to Life, the end of death.
