Everyone has experienced what he would call a sense of being transported beyond himself. This feeling of liberation far exceeds the dream of freedom sometimes hoped for in special relationships. It is a sense of actual escape from limitations. If you will consider what this “transportation” really entails, you will realize that it is a sudden unawareness of the body, and a joining of yourself and something else in which your mind enlarges to encompass it. It becomes part of you, as you unite with it. And both become whole, as neither is perceived as separate. What really happens is that you have given up the illusion of a limited awareness, and lost your fear of union. The love that instantly replaces it extends to what has freed you, and unites with it. And while this lasts you are not uncertain of your Identity, and would not limit It. You have escaped from fear to peace, asking no questions of reality, but merely accepting it. You have accepted this instead of the body, and have let yourself be one with something beyond it, simply by not letting your mind be limited by [the body]. (A Course in Miracles, T-18.VI.11. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
The one Mind that we all share is the Mind of Love (God). The body was made to limit Mind and thus is an attempt to limit or deny Love. The ego thought system of separation is the denial of the oneness of Love. The way to accelerate our awakening to Love is to let go of the barriers to Love’s presence.
Forgiveness is the means to let go of perceptions that appear to separate us and make guilt and fear seem real. As we practice forgiveness and let go of divisive beliefs, we open the door to the experience of holy instants. The practice of applying the lessons of A Course in Miracles is the accelerated path for the return to Love’s Oneness.
The presence of guilt or lack of peace is simply an indicator that we are believing in a false image of our self. It is a reminder to ask the Holy Spirit for help to correct this mistaken belief. Today we dedicate to joining with the Holy Spirit, our true Self, to let Its Light shine upon our mistaken beliefs to show us the truth of our unity with Love.
