I did not understand what made me free, nor what my freedom is, nor where to look to find it. Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing me. Now I would guide myself no more. For I have neither made nor understood the way to find my freedom. But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me, and the way to You is opening and clear to me at last. Father, my freedom is in You alone. Father, it is my will that I return. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 321, W-pII.321.1. See also ACIM Lesson 321 Insights.)
The ego is the guide to limitation. It is the choice to be limited and separate and attempt to claim a portion of Love to call its own. Yet Love is one and cannot be limited. Limitation is the opposite of freedom. If we ask the ego to guide us to freedom, we will never find it. When we think we are a separate identity and try to find our way out of a world of separation, we will only spin our wheels, going nowhere. The ego is trying to be nowhere instead of everywhere.
By the grace of God, we have a Guide Who knows no limitation, only the oneness of Love. We are free to be this limitless Love in every instant, but we must accept the Guidance of the Voice that knows the truth of What we are. It is not deceived by false images. Its sole purpose is to guide us to the freedom that is eternally ours, now and forever. By making the decision to accept the guidance of God’s Voice and guide ourselves no more, we make the decision for freedom. We accept Heaven as our Home.
