The resurrection is the denial of death, being the assertion of life. Thus is all the thinking of the world reversed entirely. Life [God/Love] is now recognized as salvation, and pain and misery of any kind perceived as hell. Love is no longer feared, but gladly welcomed. Idols have disappeared, and the remembrance of God shines unimpeded across the world. Christ’s face is seen in every living thing, and nothing is held in darkness, apart from the light of forgiveness. There is no sorrow still upon the earth. The joy of Heaven has come upon it.
These things await us all, but we are not prepared as yet to welcome them with joy. As long as any mind remains possessed of evil dreams, the thought of hell is [perceived as] real. God’s teachers have the goal of wakening the minds of those asleep, and seeing there the vision of Christ’s face to take the place of what they dream. The thought of murder [separation] is replaced with blessing. Judgment is laid by, and given Him Whose function judgment is. And in His Final Judgment is restored the truth about the holy Son of God. He is redeemed, for he has heard God’s Word and understood its meaning. He is free because he let God’s Voice proclaim the truth. And all he sought before to crucify are resurrected with him, by his side, as he prepares with them to meet his God. (A Course in Miracles, M-28.2;6)
The resurrection is available to everyone, but we have to be willing to give up our dreams of specialness and separation. We have to learn that all the images in our dream world have no value. Our wish to be special denies the resurrection; it denies our unity with our Creator.
As we learn to recognize that the images of the world have no meaning of their own, we make way for the Holy Spirit to use them on behalf of our awakening. Images of fear and guilt, attack and judgment, become recognized as calls for Love. As we accept Holy Spirit’s help we are able to answer calls for Love with Love. With Love, we see only innocence. With Love we see our unity with the Love that is in everyone.
Every thought that denies this unity must be brought to the Holy Spirit in our minds to be released. When we have released all our investment in the dream of separation, we have accepted our resurrection. We see every brother as one with us in Love. We remember that we remain one in the Heart of God.
