Release from the Dream of Specialness

The Holy Spirit offers you release from every problem that you think you have. ²They are the same to Him because each one, regardless of the form it seems to take, is a demand that someone suffer loss and make a sacrifice that you might gain. ³And when the situation is worked out so no one loses is the problem gone, because it was an error in perception that now has been corrected. ⁴One mistake is not more difficult for Him to bring to truth than is another. ⁵For there is but one mistake; the whole idea that loss is possible, and could result in gain for anyone. ⁶If this were true, then God would be unfair; sin would be possible, attack be justified and vengeance fair.

This one mistake, in any form, has one correction. ²There is no loss; to think there is, is a mistake. ³You have no problems, though you think you have. ⁴And yet you could not think so if you saw them vanish one by one, without regard to size, complexity, or place and time, or any attribute which you perceive that makes each one seem different from the rest. ⁵Think not the limits you impose on what you see can limit God in any way.

The miracle of justice can correct all errors. ²Every problem is an error. ³It does injustice to the Son of God, and therefore is not true. ⁴The Holy Spirit does not evaluate injustices as great or small, or more or less. ⁵They have no properties to Him. ⁶They are mistakes from which the Son of God is suffering, but needlessly. ⁷And so He takes the thorns and nails away. ⁸He does not pause to judge whether the hurt be large or little. ⁹He makes but one judgment; that to hurt God’s Son must be unfair and therefore is not so. (A Course in Miracles, T-26.II.2–4. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

When we see a brother as a body, we are doing him an injustice by perceiving him as limited and separate from ourselves. We are imposing that same limitation on our self. This injustice comes from our wish for specialness. By definition specialness is defined by being different. But our true Self is universal Love without limit nor differences of any kind.

True perception comes when we accept Christ’s Vision, which forgives the mistaken belief in differences. His vision sees only Love. Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us overlook the forms in the dream to see Love’s presence everywhere. As we accept His help, we free ourselves and our brothers from the wish for specialness. We see Love and disregard any appearance of lack of Love, knowing it is not true.
