To love my Father is to love His Son.
Let me not think that I can find the way to God, if I have hatred in my heart. ²Let me not try to hurt God’s Son, and think that I can know his Father or my Self. ³Let me not fail to recognize myself, and still believe that my awareness can contain my Father, or my mind conceive of all the love my Father has for me, and all the love which I return to Him.
I will accept the way You choose for me to come to You, my Father. ²For in that will I succeed, because it is Your Will. ³And I would recognize that what You will is what I will as well, and only that. ⁴And so I choose to love Your Son. ⁵Amen. (A Course in Miracles, W-246. See also ACIM Lesson 246 Insights.)
If we believe we are a separate individual, hatred is inevitable. It is an attempt to project our guilt for separating from Love onto anything external. This projection holds separation in place instead of getting rid of it. It serves as a veil that keeps us from seeing the presence of Love that is everywhere. Love is What we are so this projection makes us unaware of our true Self.
We cannot Love a form that seems to be separate from ourselves, because Love is one. What is one cannot be separate. To see the Love that is our brother, we must use the vision of Christ that is in our mind. Christ sees only Love and disregards all form. With Christ’s vision, we see the Love our brother is and join with Him in loving our Father. We are one Love as God’s Son.
