When you try to bring truth to illusions, you are trying to make illusions real, and keep them by justifying your belief in them. But to give illusions to truth is to enable truth to teach that the illusions are unreal, and thus enable you to escape from them.
Be willing, then, to give all you have held outside the truth to Him Who knows the truth, and in Whom all is brought to truth. Salvation from separation would be complete, or will not be at all. Be not concerned with anything except your willingness to have this be accomplished. He will accomplish it; not you. But forget not this: When you become disturbed and lose your peace of mind because another is attempting to solve his problems through fantasy, you are refusing to forgive yourself for just this same attempt. And you are holding both of you away from truth and from salvation. As you forgive him, you restore to truth what was denied by both of you. And you will see forgiveness where you have given it. (A Course in Miracles,T-17.I.5:4-5;6. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
When our peace is disturbed by anything, it is because we believe what is perceived is true and real. The world we perceive is the effect of our belief that we have succeeded in separating from God and His Love. It is our belief in the fantasy of a world that makes it seem true, though it is nothing but illusion. Through belief we attempt to make illusion real. We have taught ourselves to believe that the impossible is possible.
We need to be taught to unlearn this belief. The Holy Spirit is the Teacher God has given us to bring illusion to truth, to teach us that illusion is nothing and truth is everything. Truth is very simple: It is the oneness of Love and nothing else.
There is no conflict in Love’s oneness, no possibility of loss, no guilt nor fear. In the oneness of Love, there is only joy and peace. As we are willing to bring all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit to receive His healing vision, we experience God’s peace and joy more and more. Appearances in the world are less disturbing as we learn that appearances are never true. Only Love is real.
