What can correct illusions but the truth? And what are errors but illusions that remain unrecognized for what they are? Where truth has entered errors disappear. They merely vanish, leaving not a trace by which to be remembered. [Illusions] are gone because, without belief, they have no life. And so they disappear to nothingness, returning whence they came. From dust to dust they come and go, for only truth remains.
Try to remember when there was a time… when nothing came to interrupt your peace; when you were certain you were loved and safe.
Without illusions there could be no fear, no doubt and no attack. When truth has come all pain is over, for there is no room for transitory thoughts and dead ideas to linger in your mind. Truth occupies your mind completely, liberating you from all beliefs in the ephemeral [illusions]. They have no place because the truth has come, and they are nowhere. They can not be found, for truth is everywhere forever, now.
Begin by asking Him [your Self] Who goes with you upon this undertaking that He be in your awareness as you go with Him.
You speak to Him today, and make your pledge to let His function be fulfilled through you. To share His function is to share His joy. His confidence is with you, as you say:
Truth will correct all errors in my mind,
And I will rest in Him Who is my Self.Then let Him lead you gently to the truth, which will envelop you and give you peace so deep and tranquil that you will return to the familiar world reluctantly.
And yet you will be glad to look again upon this world. For you will bring with you the promise of the changes which the truth that goes with you will carry to the world. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 107, W-pI.107.1;2:3;3:2-7;8:1;9:2-10:2. See also ACIM Lesson 107 Insights.)
The transition from the fear, doubt and pain we experience in the world to a life of peace, joy and certain safety happens entirely in our mind where our true Self abides. If we make the unequivocal commitment to identify with our true Self, the appearances of the world will fade away. Illusions disappear in the presence of Truth.
Today we commit to following the lead of our true Self, for we would be released from the ego thought system of separation and return to the truth of Love’s Oneness.
