In this world you can become a spotless mirror, in which the Holiness of your Creator shines forth from you to all around you. You can reflect Heaven here. Yet no reflections of the images of other gods must dim the mirror that would hold God’s reflection in it. Earth can reflect Heaven or hell; God or the ego. You need but leave the mirror clean and clear of all the images of hidden darkness you have drawn upon it. God will shine upon it of Himself. Only the clear reflection of Himself can be perceived upon it.
Could you but realize for a single instant the power of healing that the reflection of God, shining in you, can bring to all the world, you could not wait to make the mirror of your mind clean to receive the image of the holiness that heals the world.
The response of holiness to any form of error is always the same. There is no contradiction in what holiness calls forth. Its one response is healing, without regard for what is brought to it. Those who have learned to offer only healing, because of the reflection of holiness in them, are ready at last for Heaven. (A Course in Miracles, T-14.IX.5;7:1;8:1-4. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
In Heaven there is no mirror, nothing to reflect. The Love of God is known in Its oneness. Love’s extension retains Its oneness. It is not projected onto anything outside because there is nothing outside of Love.
Everything perceived in the world is a projection. This projection is reflected back to us. What we perceive in the mirror reflects what we believe is real. If we see images of differences—different time and space, different bodies—we believe separation is real. These reflections hide the reflection of reality — God’s Love.
We clean the mirror of reflections of separation by forgiving our judgments, our denial of Love. When our forgiveness is complete, we see only the reflection of God’s Love. We have accepted the reality of our true Self and dismissed the ego’s false identity. Now we see the Love of our true Self reflected everywhere. We remember we are Love and nothing else. We know Heaven as our Home, where no reflection is needed.
