You have been told to bring the darkness to the light, and guilt to holiness. ²And you have also been told that error must be corrected at its source. ³Therefore, it is the tiny part of yourself, the little thought [of guilt] that seems split off and separate, the Holy Spirit needs.
³Its thinness and transparency are not apparent until you see the light behind it. ⁴And then you see [guilt] as a fragile veil before the light.
This world of light, this circle of brightness is the real world, where guilt meets with forgiveness. ²Here the world outside is seen anew, without the shadow of guilt upon it. ³Here are you forgiven, for here you have forgiven everyone. ⁴Here is the new perception, where everything is bright and shining with innocence, washed in the waters of forgiveness, and cleansed of every evil thought you laid upon it. ⁵Here there is no attack upon the Son of God, and you are welcome. ⁶Here is your innocence, waiting to clothe you and protect you, and make you ready for the final step in the journey inward. ⁷Here are the dark and heavy garments of guilt laid by, and gently replaced by purity and love. (A Course in Miracles, T-18.IX.1:1-3;5:3-4;9. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Guilt is the thought behind all misery and pain. It is built upon a mistaken belief that we have succeeded in separating from the Love that created us. This could never be true except in dreams. We remain as God created us.
While we believe we are in the dream, we need the means to let go of our mistaken beliefs. We have been given a Helper to help us forgive the mistaken thoughts that hide the eternal presence of Love.
Today we pray for Holy Spirit’s help to heal our fear based thoughts. As we hold His hand, we look with Him upon our guilt and fear and welcome His Light which reveals their nothingness. Each time we judge or interpret anything in the dream, we offer to Him for His purification.
The Light He shines reveals the Love beyond the judgment that seemed to separate us from our Source. As we accept His help, we welcome the Light of Love in the real world. We awaken to the Self Love created us to be.
