[Your brother] is your savior from your specialness. He is in need of your acceptance of himself as part of you, as you for his. [You and your brother] are alike to God as God is to Himself. [God] is not special, for He would not keep one part of what He is unto Himself, not given to His Son but kept for Him alone. And it is this you fear, for if He is not special, then He willed His Son to be like Him, and your brother is like you. [Your brother is] not special, but possessed of everything, including you. Give him but what he has, remembering God gave Himself to you and your brother in equal love, that both might share the universe with Him Who chose that Love could never be divided, and kept separate from what It is and must forever be.
The key you threw away God gave your brother, whose holy hands would offer it to you when you were ready to accept His plan for your salvation in the place of yours. How could this readiness be reached save through the sight of all your misery, and the awareness that your plan has failed, and will forever fail to bring you peace and joy of any kind? Through this despair you travel now, yet it is but illusion of despair. The death of specialness is not your death, but your awaking into life eternal. You but emerge from an illusion of what you are to the acceptance of yourself as God created you. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.II.10;14. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
How do we bring healing and peace to the world? By choosing with the Holy Spirit to see that everyone is one with us in the Love of our one Self, united with our Creator. Conflict, fear, lack and loss are misperceptions that come from not recognizing our true Identity as Love. There can be no conflict with who is one with us. Where there is no conflict, peace abides. The eternal changelessness of Love, given by God to all equally, means lack and loss are impossible.
In every moment we have the opportunity to learn this important healing lesson. With the Holy Spirit’s help, we can learn to overlook the ego’s images of separation with the vision of our true Self. This vision will show us the certainty of changeless Love the ego tries to hide. As we accept this vision, we recognize our true Self reflected in our brother. Our brother becomes our savior when we accept his call for Love and answer it with Love. This answer comes from our true Self. When we offer It to our brother, we accept It for ourself. The misperception is healed and our mind is blessed as it accepts the peace of our true Self.
Today we dedicate to following the vision of our true Self to be a messenger of healing and Love to the world.
