Your brother is your friend because his Father created him like you. There is no difference. You have been given to your brother that love might be extended, not cut off from him. What you keep is lost to you. God gave you and your brother Himself, and to remember this is now the only purpose that you share. And so it is the only one you have. (A Course in Miracles T-24.I.7:1-6)
Our only purpose is to remember that we, including all our brothers, have all of God’s Love. There is nothing else. The only reason we do not experience this is because we are trying to substitute specialness for God’s Love. It is our belief that it is possible to make anything that could substitute for God’s Love that we must let go or forgive. This belief underlies the entire world of images. It is why we feel vulnerable because we believe we are different. Others who are different from us could potentially harm us. This is a made up story that we believe in and so it seems real.
We need Help from a Source that does not buy into our beliefs to help us get out of the sense of lack, loneliness and loss that comes with this belief. God gave us this Help, which we call the Holy Spirit. To let go of the mistaken belief that keeps God’s Love unknown to us, we need to be vigilant and bring all our thoughts of fear and guilt, weakness and vulnerability to the Holy Spirit. If we are willing, He will show us that they are based on nothing and help us see that we already have all that is real.
We have all of God’s Love, which is all that we need and all that we are. As this reality dawns upon our minds, peace flows through us like a river, sweeping us into the eternal calm of Heaven. This is our practice today.
