You have been told to bring the darkness to the light, and guilt to holiness. And you have also been told that error must be corrected at its source. Therefore, it is the tiny part of yourself, the little thought that seems split off and separate, the Holy Spirit needs. The rest is fully in God’s keeping, and needs no guide. Yet this wild and delusional thought needs help because, in its delusions, it thinks it is the Son of God, whole and omnipotent, sole ruler of the kingdom it set apart to tyrannize by madness into obedience and slavery. This is the little part you think you stole from Heaven. Give it back to Heaven. Heaven has not lost it, but you have lost sight of Heaven. Let the Holy Spirit remove it from the withered kingdom in which you set it off, surrounded by darkness, guarded by attack and reinforced by hate. Within its barricades is still a tiny segment of the Son of God, complete and holy, serene and unaware of what you think surrounds it. (A Course in Miracles, T-18.IX.1. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The source of the world we see is the tiny part of our mind that believes it is separate and alone, devoid of Love’s oneness, powerless against outside forces and limited to a body. The fear, guilt, anger, sickness and death of this world come from this little part of the mind that believes that what could never be true is real. It seems to be a lonely world though it is surrounded and held safely in the Arms of Love.
No one is excluded from this Love. Only our denial of Reality makes it seem that we live in a loveless place. This denial has no effect on the eternal presence of Love. This Love is available to us to reclaim in every instant. We claim it by letting go of our mistaken belief in being separate.
The help we need to forgive this error is given us in our minds as God’s Voice. We hear this Voice by being willing to consider that we may be mistaken in our belief. This willingness opens our mind and hearts to receive the Holy Spirit’s message: “You are the Child of Love, complete and whole. This could never change, for It shares the changelessness of God Himself.”
Today we practice affirming this thought about everyone we meet, talk to or think about. God excludes no one, nor must we. We choose to let the Light of Love shine through us throughout the day.
