We share one life because we have one Source, a Source from which perfection comes to us, remaining always in the holy minds which He created perfect. As we were, so are we now and will forever be. A sleeping mind must waken, as it sees its own perfection mirroring the Lord of life so perfectly it fades into what is reflected there. And now it is no more a mere reflection. It becomes the thing reflected, and the light which makes reflection possible. No vision now is needed. For the wakened mind is one that knows its Source, its Self, its Holiness. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.167.12)
The oneness of Life is what makes death impossible. Nothing exists separate from this one Life. We have done such a good job of making up images of separation and believing they are real that death seems to be inevitable. This seeming inevitability is really the sign that, despite all our efforts to believe separation is real, we know that it is inevitable that we will realize it is not true.
It could be said that this realization is the death of the idea of death. The ego proclaims death as an end. But when we realize that death is only a mistaken idea of being separate from Life, we easily let this false idea go and return to the full realization of the Life we share with God. The Course calls this waking up from the dream of death. Waking up only seems hard to do because we value the images in the dream.
Our practice today is to hold our minds open to Holy Spirit’s vision of all things, situations and events that seem to appear to us today. As we accept His vision, we let the Light of truth in and move closer to the full recognition that we share one Life with God.
