Why wait for Heaven? Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all. …[Light] is the only thing you bring with you from Him Who is your Source. It shines in you because it lights your home, and leads you back to where it came from and [where] you are at home.
This light can not be lost.
It is not difficult to look within, for there all vision starts. There is no sight, be it of dreams or from a truer Source, that is not but the shadow of the seen through inward vision. There perception starts, and there it ends. It has no source but this.
The peace of God is shining in you now, and from your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress each living thing, and leaves a blessing with it that remains forever and forever.”
The peace of God can never be contained. Who recognizes [peace] within himself must give it. And the means for giving it are in his understanding. He forgives because he recognized the truth in him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 188, W-pI.188.1:1-4;7-8;2:1;2:5-3:2;5:1-4. See also ACIM Lesson 188 Insights.)
The Light of Love is in us eternally. It is everything we are, God’s gift to His Son. We can reclaim It as ours in any moment. We just need to stop denying What we are.
God’s gift of His Love brings His peace with It. Peace is an attribute of Love and cannot be experienced when Love is denied.
The world we see is a projection of what we believe we are. If we believe we are a separate identity, we perceive a world of separation. If we look within and accept the Love we are, we perceive the Light of Love everywhere. Our perceptions always show us what we believe we we are. If we do not see Love’s oneness, we are seeing a reflection of a belief that needs to be forgiven. Our perceptions are always offering us this lesson.
Today we call upon the Light of Love in us to illuminate our perceptions with Its beneficence. In Its Light, we will see beyond the forms of the world to the presence of Love. Conflict will be dispelled in the presence of Love’s peace. The self-made barriers to Love’s extension fade away. We perceive an increasingly happy world where judgment is let go and the Love of our brothers is accepted. We join in Love’s oneness, bringing Its blessing to the world.
