How simply and how easily does time slip by for the teacher of God who has accepted His protection! All that he did before in the name of safety no longer interests him. For he is safe, and knows it to be so. He has a Guide Who will not fail. He need make no distinctions among the problems he perceives, for He to Whom he turns with all of them recognizes no order of difficulty in resolving them. He is as safe in the present as he was before illusions were accepted into his mind, and as he will be when he has let them go. There is no difference in his state at different times and different places, because they are all one to God. This is his safety. And he has no need for more than this.” (A Course in Miracles, M-16.7)
The ego is incapable of providing meaningful help. The best it can do is provide an illusion that seems to be more acceptable as a substitute for an appearance we don’t like — a seeming problem. This is about as helpful as moving the deck chairs on the sinking Titanic.
But we have a Guide in our minds Who is not deceived by the ego’s illusions. This Guide knows we are eternally safe in the changeless Presence of Love. This Guide will always lead us past false images to the recognition of what is true and real. The Help we need leads us gently and lovingly to release the mistaken ideas of separation that bring us pain, guilt, fear and uncertainty.
As we are willing to follow this Guide, the uncertainty of the dream fades and the certainty of our perfect safety, limitless joy and unending Love becomes our reality. We have all the Help we need to find the way to our Home in Love.
