God’s laws will keep your mind at peace because peace is His Will, and His laws are established to uphold it. His are the laws of freedom, but yours are the laws of bondage. Since freedom and bondage are irreconcilable, their laws cannot be understood together. The laws of God work only for your good, and there are no other laws beside His.
You are not free to give up freedom, but only to deny it. You cannot do what God did not intend, because what He did not intend does not happen. Your gods do not bring chaos; you are endowing them with chaos, and accepting it of them. All this has never been. Nothing but the laws of God has ever been, and nothing but His Will will ever be. …What you have made is so unworthy of you that you could hardly want it, if you were willing to see [what you have made] as it is. You will see nothing at all. And your vision will automatically look beyond it, to what is in you and all around you. Reality cannot break through the obstructions you interpose, but it will envelop you completely when you let [the obstructions] go. (A Course in Miracles, T-10.IV.4:1-4;5:1-5,7-10. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The world we perceive is an attempt to limit the limitless Love of God. It is the denial of the freedom to be and extend Love eternally. The ego world denies what we are and substitutes a loveless image of vulnerability, sickness and death. It is not God’s Will for us and therefore could never happen.
We experience the ego’s world because our belief in it endows it with the appearance of reality. These images we believe in obstruct the vision of our true Self, Which will always show us the limitless Love we are.
We ask the Holy Spirit’s help to purify our vision that we may see past the ego’s illusions to the reality of the Love that is our Home.
