God is the light in which I see.
In order to see, you must recognize that light is within, not without. ²You do not see outside yourself, nor is the equipment for seeing outside you. ³An essential part of this equipment is the light that makes seeing possible. ⁴It is with you always, making vision possible in every circumstance.
…leave behind everything that you now believe, and all the thoughts that you have made up. ⁵Properly speaking, this is the release from hell. ⁶Yet perceived through the ego’s eyes, it is loss of identity and a descent into hell.
If you can stand aside from the ego by ever so little, you will have no difficulty in recognizing that its opposition and its fears are meaningless.
…what is needful is a sense of the importance of what you are doing; its inestimable value to you, and an awareness that you are attempting something very holy. ²Salvation is your happiest accomplishment. ³It is also the only one that has any meaning, because it is the only one that has any real use to you at all.
²Try to think of light, formless and without limit, as you pass by the thoughts of this world. ³And do not forget that they cannot hold you to the world unless you give them the power to do so. (A Course in Miracles, W-44.2;5:4–6:1;8;10:2-3. See also ACIM Lesson 44 Insights.)
The Light of Love is within us. It is our very being, all that we are. This Light is God’s Light, given us in our creation. It is all that we are. Nothing else exists.
But we seem to exist in a world of darkness, where Love is unknown. Though we have blotted the Light from our awareness, it remains tranquil and untouched by the barriers that we have erected to avoid Its presence. The effect of these barriers is a dream of loneliness, isolation and lack of Love.
If we are willing to call upon this Light within and let It shine forth, it will awaken us to the happiness of our Home in Heaven. Today we ask the Holy Spirit, God’s Voice, to help us set aside the mistaken values of the world which hide the Light. We want to awaken to Love. We want to see the Light everywhere, for so It is.
