Salvation is a promise, made by God, that you would find your way to Him at last. It cannot but be kept. It guarantees that time will have an end, and all the thoughts that have been born in time will end as well. God’s Word is given every mind which thinks that it has separate thoughts, and will replace these thoughts of conflict with the Thought of peace.
The Thought of peace was given to God’s Son the instant that his mind had thought of war. There was no need for such a Thought before, for peace was given without opposite, and merely was. But when the mind is split there is a need of healing. So the Thought that has the power to heal the split became a part of every fragment of the mind that still was one, but failed to recognize its oneness. Now it did not know itself, and thought its own Identity was lost.
Salvation is undoing in the sense that it does nothing, failing to support the world of dreams and malice. Thus it lets illusions go. By not supporting them, it merely lets them quietly go down to dust. (A Course in Miracles Workbook, Part II.2, W-pII.2.1:1-3:3. See also ACIM Lesson Insights, Part II.2.)
God has made a promise that will never be broken because He does not change His Mind. Because God does not change, we who are His Sons do not change.
While we perceive a world of form, we believe we have changed the oneness of God’s Son into separate, disconnected parts. Only our support of this belief makes it seem to be true. The path of return to our true Identity in God’s oneness is to simply stop supporting the false idea of separation.
This simple step does not seem easy because we believe if we lost our identity as a separate inividual, we would cease to exist. Yet this illusion of a separate identity has never existed in truth. When we let go of our insistence on keeping this illusion of a separate identity, our true Identity united with God in His Love would be revealed. We would lose nothing to gain everything. God guaranteed our return to our true Self by giving us the Holy Spirit to provide a bridge from our world of illusion to God’s Universe of Love. Here we are at Home, happily dwelling in God’s peace.
