This is my holy instant of release.
Father, it is today that I am free, because my will is Yours. ²I thought to make another will. ³Yet nothing that I thought apart from You exists. ⁴And I am free because I was mistaken, and did not affect my own reality at all by my illusions. ⁵Now I give them up, and lay them down before the feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind. ⁶This is my holy instant of release. ⁷Father, I know my will is one with Yours.
And so today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. ²The Son of God this day lays down his dreams. ³The Son of God this day comes home again, released from sin and clad in holiness, with his right mind restored to him at last. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 227. See also ACIM Lesson 227 Insights.)
God’s one Thought is the Thought of Love. His Son is that Thought of Love, unchanging and unchangeable, eternally extending. As His Son, we share that Thought of Love. This is our only real Thought.
No thought apart from the Thought of Love exists at all. The thoughts we are aware of in the world are illusions because they are forms of separation which cannot exist in the oneness of Love. We are free in every instant to set aside illusionary thoughts of differences and separation. We are free to return Home again from wandering in a wilderness of loveless illusions.
Forgiveness is the means to release illusions from our mind. Today, with the Holy Spirit’s help, we reclaim our Home in the Thought of Love. Each instant is an opportunity to let the past go and welcome the holy instant of release.
