Opening Our Mind to Receive God’s Love

The Thought of peace was given to God’s Son the instant that his mind had thought of war. ²There was no need for such a Thought before, for peace was given without opposite, and merely was. ³But when the mind is split there is a need of healing. ⁴So the Thought that has the power to heal the split became a part of every fragment of the mind that still was one, but failed to recognize its oneness. ⁵Now it did not know itself, and thought its own Identity was lost.

Salvation is undoing in the sense that it does nothing, failing to support the world of dreams and malice. ²Thus it lets illusions go. ³By not supporting them, it merely lets them quietly go down to dust. ⁴And what they hid is now revealed; an altar to the holy Name of God whereon His Word is written, with the gifts of your forgiveness laid before it, and the memory of God not far behind. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.2.2–3)

There is no form in the universe of Love. Forms in the dream of specialness stand as a barrier to Love, held in place by our belief that forms are real. Only our beliefs stand in the way of our certainty that we remain one with the Love that created us like Itself.

Forgiveness opens our mind to receive the Light of Love. This Light dispels the shadows of our beliefs in differences and isolation. In gratitude we accept the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive our mistaken beliefs and accept our Father’s gift of all of His Love.
