When you accept a brother’s guiltlessness you will see the Atonement in him. ²For by proclaiming it in him you make it yours, and you will see what you sought. ³You will not see the symbol of your brother’s guiltlessness shining within him while you still believe it is not there. ⁴His guiltlessness is your Atonement.
²The state of guiltlessness is only the condition in which what is not there has been removed from the disordered mind that thought it was. ³This state, and only this, must you attain, with God beside you. ⁴For until you do, you will still think that you are separate from Him. ⁵You can perhaps feel His Presence next to you, but cannot know that you are one with Him.
When you have let all that obscured the truth in your most holy mind be undone for you, and therefore stand in grace before your Father, He will give Himself to you as He has always done.” (A Course in Miracles, T-14.IV.1:1-4;2:2-5;3:1. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Our experience of this world comes from our belief that we are separate and different from God. It is the manifestation of the wish for specialness. Because of this wish, we are unwilling and therefore unable to know the oneness of God’s Love. Having built a barrier against His Love, we have imprisoned ourselves in a closed thought system that cannot find its way out of its own thought system.
This is why we need our mistaken thoughts to be undone for us. This can be accomplished only if we are willing for these thoughts to be undone. The Holy Spirit is ready to correct our errors when we are willing to accept His help. When we ask for His help to undo our fear based thoughts, we are expressing our willingness to be helped. That is the key that opens our prison door.
This willingness welcomes the Love we had denied. When the mistaken beliefs have all been undone, our barriers to Love’s presence are let go. Our healing is complete and we have accepted God’s gift of all His Love without limit. We know we are one with all in His Love.
