The Thought of peace was given to God’s Son the instant that his mind had thought of war. There was no need for such a Thought before, for peace was given without opposite, and merely was. But when the mind is split there is a need of healing. So the Thought that has the power to heal the split became a part of every fragment of the mind that still was one, but failed to recognize its oneness. Now it did not know itself, and thought its own Identity was lost.
Salvation is undoing in the sense that it does nothing, failing to support the world of dreams and malice. Thus it lets illusions go. By not supporting them, it merely lets them quietly go down to dust. And what they hid is now revealed; an altar to the holy Name of God whereon His Word is written, with the gifts of your forgiveness laid before it, and the memory of God not far behind. (A Course in Miracles What Is Salvation?, W-pII.2.2-3. See also ACIM Lesson Insights.)
By choosing to believe we are a separate identity in a dream of separation, we have exiled ourselves from our Home, which is God’s Love. From our place in exile, we are unaware of the unlimited gift of peace, happiness and Love that is ours now. The way out of this exile is to stop believing that we are separate from God. God gave us the Help we need to teach us to recognize the illusion of separation is not real.
Today we will practice frequently asking, “How would Holy Spirit see this?” The more we are willing to pause and welcome Holy Spirit’s teaching, the faster we will walk out of our exile and remember our Home in Love.
