Seeing Our Brothers as One with Our Self

Never forget that the Sonship is your salvation, for the Sonship is your Self. ²As God’s creation It is yours, and belonging to you It is His. ³Your Self does not need salvation, but your mind needs to learn what salvation is. ⁴You are not saved from anything, but you are saved for glory. ⁵Glory is your inheritance, given you by your Creator that you might extend it. ⁶Yet if you hate part of your Self all your understanding is lost, because you are looking on what God created as yourself without love. ⁷And since what He created is part of Him, you are denying Him His place in His Own altar.

Could you try to make God homeless and know that you are at home? ²Can the Son deny the Father without believing that the Father has denied him? ³God’s laws hold only for your protection, and they never hold in vain. ⁴What you experience when you deny your Father is still for your protection, for the power of your will cannot be lessened without the intervention of God against it, and any limitation on your power is not the Will of God. ⁵Therefore, look only to the power that God gave to save you, remembering that it is yours because it is His, and join with your brothers in His peace.

Your peace lies in its limitlessness. ²Limit the peace you share, and your Self must be unknown to you. (A Course in Miracles, T-11.IV.1:1–3:2. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

When we believe that the body is our or our brother’s identity, we are denying God’s Love. The body identity is the target of all the ego’s judgments. Judgment is used as justification for limiting the peace we share. We cannot believe anything is separate from us and share God’s peace without limit.

The path of return to peace is lit by forgiveness of the forms of separation we believe are real. This is why forgiveness is the means for our return to Love and the limitless peace that comes with it. Today we practice reminding ourselves as we think about our brother that beyond the appearance of a body lies the unity of God’s Love we share with all. As we see our brothers, we see ourselves.

Let us join together today in asking the Holy Spirit to help us see past the body to the presence of Love.
