We Can Awaken from the Dream

My Father knows my holiness. Shall I deny His knowledge, and believe in what His knowledge makes impossible? Shall I accept as true what He proclaims as false? Or shall I take His Word for what I am, since He is my Creator, and the One Who knows the true condition of His Son?

Father, I was mistaken in myself, because I failed to realize the Source from which I came. I have not left that Source to enter in a body and to die. My holiness remains a part of me, as I am part of You. And my mistakes about myself are dreams. I let them go today. And I stand ready to receive Your Word alone for what I really am. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 228, W-pI.228. See also ACIM Lesson 228 Insights.)

When we look at the things that seem to happen in the world, the things we do and thoughts we have, it doesn’t seem that we are holy at all. Yet we are told that God knows us as holy. This is because the body we have identified with and the world it seems to populate is just a dream. It is a false persona acting out its beliefs in being separate, vulnerable and alone.

It’s good news that this is only a dream and we can wake up from a dream. From within the dream there seems to be no end to it. But we have help from beyond the dream to gently and lovingly lead us out of it to awaken to the Love and holiness we have always been in truth. We do not need to dwell in a place of fear and guilt any longer.

Today we call upon the strength of God in us to help us remember Who we really are. And we trust that we will receive the Help we need.
