This is my holy instant of release.
Father, it is today that I am free, because my will is Yours. I thought to make another will. Yet nothing that I thought apart from You exists. And I am free because I was mistaken, and did not affect my own reality at all by my illusions. Now I give them up, and lay them down before the feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind. This is my holy instant of release. Father, I know my will is one with Yours.
And so today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. The Son of God this day lays down his dreams. The Son of God this day comes home again, released from sin [separation] and clad in holiness, with his right mind restored to him at last. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 227, W-pII.227. See also ACIM Lesson 227 Insights.)
Our only real Thoughts are the Thoughts we think with God. They are Thoughts of Love and nothing else, because only Love is real.
The thoughts we are aware of in the world are not real. They are illusions in the dream held in place by belief that separation is real. Every moment of every day we have the opportunity to choose Love instead of fear, oneness instead of separation. God’s Voice calls to us in every moment to choose Love.
His call brings with it the strength of God. We can rely on this strength to support us as we choose a different path than the one that led to fear and guilt. His strength and Love shine away the shadows of fear that come from belief that we are alone in a loveless world.
We choose Love to be our Guide today because we want to remember that God’s Will is our will. We want to walk in the way of Love. We want to answer calls for love — thoughts and perceptions of conflict and loss — with the certainty and safety of Love. Love knows no limits and makes no judgments. It gives Itself equally to all. This is the Thought that releases us from the dream and returns us Home.
