⁵Those who would let illusions be lifted from their minds are this world’s saviors, walking the world with their Redeemer, and carrying His message of hope and freedom and release from suffering to everyone who needs a miracle to save him.
How easy is it to offer this miracle to everyone! ²No one who has received it for himself could find it difficult. ³For by receiving it, he learned it was not given him alone. ⁴Such is the function of a holy relationship; to receive together and give as you received. ⁵Standing before the veil, it still seems difficult. ⁶But hold out your hand, joined with your brother’s, and touch this heavy-seeming block, and you will learn how easily your fingers slip through its nothingness. ⁷It is no solid wall. ⁸And only an illusion stands between you and your brother, and the holy Self you share together. (A Course in Miracles, T-22.IV.6:5–7:8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
As the Voice for God in our mind, the Holy Spirit speaks to us of the Love we are and share with every brother. There is no true difference between us and our brother, for we share the one Self that is God’s Son. Only the belief that separation is real can make a world where we seem different from everyone and everything. We do not look truly upon our brother; we look upon our own projections displayed on a veil like a movie on the screen.
We forget that we are the Source of the projection and what we see reflected by the veil are representations of our belief in separation. So it seems that what we see happens to us and we are not the cause of what happens in this illusion. All the images of the world disappear when the veil is lifted. The veil remains firmly in place as long as we want separation to be real.
But as we let the Holy Spirit help us forgive our misperceptions, the veil becomes less opaque. We learn the world offers nothing that will bring us lasting happiness, peace and Love. The Love we share with our brothers becomes more clear. The veil is fully lifted when we have forgiven the world for all we thought it was. Now we know the unity of Love we share with our brother and our Creator. We remember we are God’s Son, eternally united in His Love.
