Sin [separation from Love] is the only thought that makes the goal of God seem unattainable. ²What else could blind us to the obvious, and make the strange and the distorted seem more clear? ³What else but sin [lack of Love] engenders our attacks? ⁴What else but sin could be the source of guilt, demanding punishment and suffering? ⁵And what but sin could be the source of fear, obscuring God’s creation; giving love the attributes of fear and of attack?
Father, I would not be insane today. ²I would not be afraid of love, nor seek for refuge in its opposite. ³For love can have no opposite. ⁴You are the Source of everything there is. ⁵And everything that is remains with You, and You with it. (A Course in Miracles, W-259.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 259 Insights.)
With belief in separation comes the need to project. Projection is necessary to assuage the guilt that comes with believing we have separated from the Love of our Source. These projections make the world we see. But what we perceive is frightening because in some way it represents the thought of attack that made a loveless world.
Fortunately the belief in separation can only seem real in a dream. And we can wake up from this dream that denies Love. We can choose Love all the time. Today we practice choosing Love whenever our peace is disturbed. With Love, we will see that we remain held safely within Its Arms, along with every brother.
Today we choose Love as our Guide. With this Guide, we let go of fear and greet the world with kindness and joy.
