I walk with God in perfect holiness.
Today’s idea but states the simple truth that makes the thought of sin impossible. It promises there is no cause for guilt, and being causeless it does not exist. [This idea] follows surely from the basic thought so often mentioned in the text; ideas leave not their source. If this be true, how can you be apart from God? How could you walk the world alone and separate from your Source?
You cannot walk the world apart from God, because you could not be without Him. He is what your life is. Where you are He is. There is one life. That life you share with Him. Nothing can be apart from Him and live.
Yet where He is, there must be holiness as well as life. No attribute of His remains unshared by everything that lives. What lives is holy as Himself, because what shares His life is part of Holiness, and could no more be sinful than the sun could choose to be of ice; the sea elect to be apart from water, or the grass to grow with roots suspended in the air. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 156, W-pI.156.1;2:4-3-3. See also ACIM Lesson 156 Insights.)
Our existence depends upon our unbreakable connection with our Source. We exist solely as God’s Son—the extension of His Love. This existence has nothing to do with our image of a self limited to a body in a dream of separation. Dreams do not exist in truth. What we seem to experience in a dream has no effect on our real existence in God.
Our only meaningful purpose in the world is to bring the illusions of the dream to truth — to bring our misperceptions to the Holy Spirit for His loving correction. We are not alone. We cannot harm or be harmed in truth. As we learn that we are not a body, we learn that we are free from harm, from sin, from anything other than Love. Only Love is real. This is the foundation of God’s plan for our salvation, our release from the mistaken belief in being separate.
Today we remember that we walk with God in perfect holiness. The perception of anything other than this is a call for Love. We respond to this call by asking for the Holy Spirit’s help to see past the error to the Love we are, united in God.
