There is no question but one you should ever ask of yourself;—“Do I want to know my Father’s Will for me?” …Our function is to work together, because apart from each other we cannot function at all. ⁵The whole power of God’s Son lies in all of us, but not in any of us alone. ⁶God would not have us be alone because He does not will to be alone. ⁷That is why He created His Son, and gave him the power to create with Him.
³We cannot be separated. ⁴Whom God has joined cannot be separated, and God has joined all His Sons with Himself. ⁵Can you be separated from your life and your being? ⁶The journey to God is merely the reawakening of the knowledge of where you are always, and what you are forever. ⁷It is a journey without distance to a goal that has never changed. ⁸Truth can only be experienced. ⁹It cannot be described and it cannot be explained. ¹⁰I can make you aware of the conditions of truth, but the experience is of God. ¹¹Together we can meet its conditions, but truth will dawn upon you of itself. (A Course in Miracles, T-8.VI.8:1,4-7;9:3-11. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
This world is an expression of our rebellion against God’s Will for us. It makes no sense to rebel against Love. God’s Will for us is to remain united with Him in the eternal extension of Love’s oneness. But the wish for specialness, to have more than all of His Love, must deny His Will. So we choose a fantasy instead of the truth.
We can choose to accept the truth now, in every moment. With this acceptance comes perfect peace and joy beyond words. We have convinced ourselves that the world offers us something we want. Yet all it can offer are illusions which never satisfy. We still yearn and search for the Love we have denied. Only our images of substitutes hide the presence of Love in which we dwell.
We call upon the Voice for God to guide us to recognize the false images for what they are and let them go. This is how we will meet the conditions of truth. With these conditions we will realize that we remain forever united with God’s Will. We join with Him in the unlimited sharing of His Love.
