To learn this course requires willingness to question every value that you hold. Not one [value] can be kept hidden and obscure but it will jeopardize your learning. No belief is neutral. Every [belief] has the power to dictate each decision you make. For a decision is a conclusion based on everything that you believe. [A decision] is the outcome of belief, and follows it as surely as does suffering follow guilt and freedom sinlessness. There is no substitute for peace. What God creates has no alternative.” (A Course in Miracles T-24.Intro.2:1-8)
Conflict comes with belief in specialness. Differences always conflict. Valuing differences (specialness) invites conflict. There are no differences in Love, because Love is one. Love always joins with Love and sees nothing else.
The nature of Love is to give or extend Itself. To know the Love we are, we must extend It without reservation and without limit. Specialness judges who or what is more worthy of Love than another. This judgment makes Love unknown to us. This is why we must question every value because valuing one thing over another blocks our awareness of the unity of Love.
To free ourselves from this “loss” of Love, we must let Holy Spirit decide all things on our behalf. He is not deceived by illusions of form. He sees past the form to the truth of Love’s oneness. He will teach us to see as He sees and Love as He Loves as we are willing to give up the values we place on the forms of the world and let Him show us the truth that lies behind all belief in specialness. Peace returns as we let go of our belief in specialness. Letting go of this false belief is how we are we freed from the insanity of the ego thought system.
