True light that makes true vision possible is not the light the body’s eyes behold. It is a state of mind that has become so unified that darkness cannot be perceived at all. And thus what is the same is seen as one, while what is not the same remains unnoticed, for it is not there.
This is the light that shows no opposites, and vision, being healed, has power to heal. This is the light that brings your peace of mind to other minds, to share it and be glad that they are one with you and with themselves. This is the light that heals because it brings single perception, based upon one frame of reference, from which one meaning comes.
Here are both giving and receiving seen as different aspects of one Thought whose truth does not depend on which is seen as first, nor which appears to be in second place. Here it is understood that both occur together, that the Thought remain complete. And in this understanding is the base on which all opposites are reconciled, because they are perceived from the same frame of reference which unifies this Thought. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 108, W-pI.108.2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 108 Insights.)
Our true Self already rests in God. It has always rested in Him and always will, for It was created one with Him. The experience of pain and suffering come from swearing allegiance to the false image made by the ego.
The affirmation “I rest in God” is a way to change our allegiance. It declares our willingness to accept the Reality of Love as our Identity. As we acknowledge our true Identity, we become instruments of God’s Voice to bring the message of Love’s oneness to the world. No longer do we serve the ego’s goal of separation with judgments and guilt.
Now we serve the Love we are by seeing Love beyond the world’s appearances. We recognize expressions of fear and hate as calls for Love. The Love of our true Self resting in God answers these calls for Love. This practice brings healing to our mind and to the world. We rest in the safety and innocence of Love.
