Every child of God is one in Christ, for his being is in Christ as Christ’s is in God. ²Christ’s Love for you is His Love for His Father, which He knows because He knows His Father’s Love for Him. ³When the Holy Spirit has at last led you to Christ at the altar to His Father, perception fuses into knowledge because perception has become so holy that its transfer to holiness is merely its natural extension. ⁴Love transfers to love without any interference, for the two are one. ⁵As you perceive more and more common elements in all situations, the transfer of training under the Holy Spirit’s guidance increases and becomes generalized. ⁶Gradually you learn to apply it to everyone and everything, for its applicability is universal. ⁷When this has been accomplished, perception and knowledge have become so similar that they share the unification of the laws of God.
What is one cannot be perceived as separate, and the denial of the separation is the reinstatement of knowledge. ²At the altar of God, the holy perception of God’s Son becomes so enlightened that light streams into it, and the spirit of God’s Son shines in the Mind of the Father and becomes one with it. ³Very gently does God shine upon Himself, loving the extension of Himself that is His Son. ⁴The world has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of God. ⁵For the real world has slipped quietly into Heaven,… (A Course in Miracles, T-12.VI.6:1–7:5. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The ego insists that every problem is unique, and has a unique solution. The Holy Spirit tells us there is only one problem and one solution that resolves all perceives problems. If the ego had its way, we would have an endless list of problems to solve. We would be locked in a continuous cycle of perceived problems, with the next one popping up as soon as the previous one is resolved.
This is why we need the Holy Spirit to lead us to freedom. He is not deceived by the complexity of the ego’s perceptions. As we let the Holy Spirit heal our fear-based thoughts, we recognize what is the same in every problem more readily.
One problem, resolved with the Holy Spirit’s vision, helps us recognize the commonality of all problems. This generalization reduces the list of problems in our mind. Eventually we see that there really is only one problem — the belief in separation. When separation is recognized as impossible and we accept the oneness of God’s Love, we accept our place in Heaven. We realize that in truth, we never left.
