Re-experiencing the Peace of God

Why wait for Heaven? Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all. Light is not of the world, yet you who bear the light in you are alien here as well. The light came with you from your native home, and stayed with you because it is your own. It is the only thing you bring with you from Him Who is your Source. It shines in you because it lights your home, and leads you back to where it came from and you are at home.

The peace of God is shining in you now, and from your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress each living thing, and leaves a blessing with it that remains forever and forever.

The peace of God can never be contained. Who recognizes it within himself must give it. And the means for giving it are in his understanding. He forgives because he recognized the truth in him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 188, W-pI.188.1;3:1-2;5:1-4. See also ACIM Lesson 188 Insights.)

God created His Son as an extension of Himself. The Son has all the attributes of God — His joy, His peace and Love. Our true Self is God’s Son. By aligning with the ego, we have hidden our true Self beneath an illusion of a shell that separates us from God and every brother.

This Self remains unaffected by the shell that seems to hide It. It’s Light remains and is always available to us. We need only step back from our allegiance to the ego and look within in our mind to reconnect with the Self God created one with Him. Here we re-experience the peace of God that has always been there. As we identify with our Self, the Light we are shines through the ego’s shell and brings Love’s blessing to the world.

The unity of Love is shared with all and reflects the Light back to us. We are enlightened along with all the world as we remember we remain as God created us in His peace, joy and Love.
