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.”
“This is the way salvation works. As you step back, the light in you steps forward and encompasses the world. …In lightness and in laughter is sin gone, because its quaint absurdity is seen. It is a foolish thought, a silly dream, not frightening, ridiculous perhaps, but who would waste an instant in approach to God Himself for such a senseless whim?
“Who walks with me?” This question should be asked a thousand times a day, till certainty has ended doubting and established peace. Today let doubting cease. God speaks for you in answering your question with these words:
I walk with God in perfect holiness. I light the world,
I light my mind and all the minds which God created
one with me. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 156, W-pI.156.2:4-9;6:1-2,4-5;8:1-6. See also ACIM Lesson 156 Insights.)
It doesn’t seem that we walk with God in perfect holiness. But the Course is teaching us that the way we see ourselves is a false image that denies the Self God created. We are being guided to a new vision that sees as God sees. The Course calls it Christ’s vision or the vision of the Holy Spirit. This is the vision of our true Self which knows our real Life is in God and shares His holiness. As we learn to accept this vision, the idea of guilt and punishment becomes absurd. We recognize our brothers as one with us. We walk together in the Love of God.
As we set aside the false image and let Love be our Guide in all things, we walk in peace and perfect happiness. We remember we walk with God.
