Our goal …is to become aware that God’s plan for salvation has already been accomplished in us. To achieve this goal, we must replace attack [identifying with a body] with acceptance [of our true Identity]. As long as we attack [His plan], we cannot understand what God’s plan for us is. We are therefore attacking what we do not recognize.… We have attacked God’s plan for salvation without waiting to hear what it is. We have shouted our grievances so loudly that we have not listened to His Voice. We have used our grievances to close our eyes and stop our ears.
Now we would see and hear and learn. “What is salvation, Father?” Ask and you will be answered. Seek and you will find. We are no longer asking the ego what salvation is and where to find it. We are asking it of truth. Be certain, then, that the answer will be true because of Whom you ask. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 72, W-pI.72.10:1-4,10-12;11. See also ACIM Lesson 72 Insights.)
While we believe the body is our identity, death seems real and grievances about what the body does seem justified. Identification with the body is the ego’s substitute for our true Identity as an extension of God’s Love. The body is limited. Love is unlimited and eternal.
The ego denies the reality of Love and cannot offer anything but an illusion of a loveless reality. This is the world we see. But we have a Guide Whose purpose is to help us see what the body’s eyes cannot. The Holy Spirit’s vision sees past appearances to the changeless Love of our true Identity. As we accept His vision in our mind, we find certainty and comfort in the Love we are.
Our prayer today: Holy Spirit, I welcome Your vision to see the Light of Love beyond bodies in the world. I would be Your instrument of communication to bring Love to the world. With Your help, I will see the unity of Truth beyond the appearances of separation. I will remember my true Identity.
