…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. And what they hid is now revealed; an altar to the holy Name of God whereon His Word is written, with the gifts of your forgiveness laid before it, and the memory of God not far behind.
Let us come daily to this holy place, and spend a while together. Here we share our final dream [of complete forgiveness]. It is a dream in which there is no sorrow, for it holds a hint of all the glory given us by God. (A Course in Miracles 2. What Is Salvation?, W-pII.2.2:3-4:3. See also ACIM Lesson 231 Insights.)
Salvation is only needed in a dream of lack of Love. This lack is only perceived if we identify with the ego and believe in the ego’s illusions that make separation appear real. Only our active belief keeps the illusions in place. When we cease to believe illusions are real (forgive), we awaken to our true Self, eternally at Home in Love’s oneness. This undoing of our beliefs leads us Home to Love. Through forgiveness, we let go of trying to make illusions real.
We don’t need to do anything to be what Love created us to be. Our original Creation cannot change because Its Source is changeless. Love created us like Itself. It is time to stop trying to be what we are not. This “doing” brings only pain, fear and guilt. We need to let Love be Itself and learn that we are Love.
