We Offer Love’s Blessing to the World

If you are blessed and do not know it, you need to learn it must be so. The knowledge is not taught, but its conditions must be acquired for it is they (the conditions of knowledge) that have been thrown away. You can learn to bless, and cannot give what you have not. If, then, you offer blessing, it must have come first to yourself. And you must also have accepted [blessing] as yours, for how else could you give it away? That is why miracles offer you the testimony that you are blessed. If what you offer is complete forgiveness you must have let guilt go, accepting the Atonement for yourself and learning you are guiltless.

Indirect proof of truth is needed in a world made of denial and without direction. You will perceive the need for this if you realize that to deny is the decision not to know. The logic of the world must therefore lead to nothing, for its goal is nothing. If you decide to have and give and be nothing except a dream, you must direct your thoughts unto oblivion. And if you [truly] have and give and are everything [Love], and all this has been denied, your thought system is closed off and wholly separated from the truth. This is an insane world, and do not underestimate the extent of its insanity. There is no area of your perception that it has not touched, and your dream is sacred to you. That is why God placed the Holy Spirit in you, where you placed the dream. A Course in Miracles, T-14.I.1:1-7;2. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Belief in guilt manifests in many ways: Sadness, loneliness. a sense of inadequacy, remorse, shame, resentment, blame, irritation, anger and rage. We can only experience these symptoms if we deny the reality and eternal presence of Love. The world we experience is the effect of this denial. Only our belief in the world that denies Love makes it seem real.

This belief is self-perpetuating unless the mind is helped to learn that it could never be true. God answered our denial of Love by placing the Holy Spirit in our mind to lead us out of the denial of Truth. He is the Bridge between the dream based on belief and the knowledge of God’s changeless Love.

If we are willing to offer all our thoughts that are not wholly loving to the Holy Spirit, He will correct our mistaken thoughts for us. Our misperceptions will be transformed into the recognition of calls for Love and the presence of Love. There is truly nothing else to see. Our willingness to accept the Holy Spirit’s correction is willingness to accept Love’s blessing. As our mistaken thoughts are healed, we offer Love’s blessing to the world.
