Our Only Problem Is Belief in Separation

The problem of separation, which is really the only problem, has already been solved. Yet the solution is not recognized because the problem is not recognized.

Everyone in this world seems to have his own special problems. Yet they are all the same, and must be recognized as one if the one solution that solves them all is to be accepted.

All this complexity is but a desperate attempt not to recognize the problem, and therefore not to let it be resolved. If you could recognize that your only problem is separation, no matter what form it takes, you could accept the answer because you would see its relevance. Perceiving the underlying constancy in all the problems that seem to confront you, you would understand that you have the means to solve them all. And you would use the means, because you recognize the problem. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 79, W-pI.79.1:4-2:2;6:1-4. See also ACIM Lesson 79 Insights.)

As we remember that we are safe eternally in the Mind of God, the problems of this world fade into the background. We are able to feel Love’s Presence and are drawn to extend Love to everyone in this world. We see innocence where we once saw guilt. We see past the shadows of separation to the Light of Love’s oneness. We feel calm and safe, no matter what problem appears to show up in the moment. We stick close to our connection with our inner Guide, Who helps us remember the truth of What we are and Where we are.

The problems may still appear to be there, but we see them differently. We know that the Holy Spirit will walk with us through every perceived problem. We place our trust in the Holy Spirit to be our problem solver, not the ego mind.

We are filled with a sense of gratitude, as we are willing to repeatedly let go of the only real problem, which is our belief in separation. As we increase our habit of always going to the Holy Spirit, we remember to laugh instead of taking this world of separation so seriously. We are lifted up to see the Love That is eternally true.
