²From my holiness does the perception of the real world come. ³Having forgiven, I no longer see myself as guilty. ⁴I can accept the innocence that is the truth about me. ⁵Seen through understanding [forgiving] eyes, the holiness of the world is all I see, for I can picture only the thoughts I hold about myself.
²The perception of my holiness does not bless me alone. ³Everyone and everything I see in its light shares in the joy it brings to me. ⁴There is nothing that is apart from this joy, because there is nothing that does not share my holiness.
³What is there to be saved from except illusions? ⁴And what are all illusions except false ideas about myself?
³I am blessed as a Son of God. ⁴All good things are mine, because God intended them for me. ⁵I cannot suffer any loss or deprivation or pain because of Who I am. ⁶My Father supports me, protects me, and directs me in all things. ⁷His care for me is infinite, and is with me forever. ⁸I am eternally blessed as His Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-58.1:2-5;2:2-4;3:3-4;5:3-8.. See also ACIM Lesson 58 Insights.)
What we perceive in the world shows us what we believe about ourselves. It is a reflection of the thought system we have chosen as our guide. We have chosen the ego as our master. We cannot follow two masters which come from diametrically opposed thought systems.
Instead of choosing the ego as our master, we can choose Love, our Creator. The thought system of Love is singular. Only Love is real. Nothing else exists. When we choose Love as our Guide, certainty is guaranteed. There are no other options in truth. This singular Thought is peaceful, for there is no conflict in it. It is joyous because there is no greater joy than to join in the eternal extension of God’s Love.
Today we forgive our mistaken belief that anything but Love could be real. We accept the Holy Spirit’s help to see beyond the temptation to believe illusions are true. We rely on His strength and certainty to support us and reinforce our willingness to accept our Self, Which God created as His Son.
