If I accept that I am prisoner within a body, in a world in which all things that seem to live appear to die, then is my Father prisoner with me. ²And this do I believe, when I maintain the laws the world obeys must I obey; the frailties and the sins which I perceive are real, and cannot be escaped. ³If I am bound in any way, I do not know my Father nor my Self. ⁴And I am lost to all reality. ⁵For truth is free, and what is bound is not a part of truth.
Father, I ask for nothing but the truth. ²I have had many foolish thoughts about myself and my creation, and have brought a dream of fear into my mind. ³Today, I would not dream. ⁴I choose the way to You instead of madness and instead of fear. ⁵For truth is safe, and only love is sure. (A Course in Miracles, W-278.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 278 Insights.)
The ego does not want us to realize that all our pain and suffering, guilt and fear we bring upon ourselves. It is not God who condemns His Son to hell. It is our belief that we are separate, which aligns with the ego, that leads us to this experience. The truth that only Love is real is the release from hell.
Today we choose God’s plan for our release from the dream we have engaged in. He has given us the Holy Spirit in our mind to guide us through all our self-made stories to the certainty of Love’s safety. It is a journey of awakening to Love. With the Holy Spirit’s help we will live in peace and join in the joyous extension of eternal Love. We are grateful that we have this Guide to return to the awareness of our Home in Heaven.
