Accepting Our Unity as God’s One Son

Let me perceive no differences today.

Father, You have one Son. ²And it is he that I would look upon today. ³He is Your one creation. ⁴Why should I perceive a thousand forms in what remains as one? ⁵Why should I give this one a thousand names, when only one suffices? ⁶For Your Son must bear Your Name, for You created him. ⁷Let me not see him as a stranger to his Father, nor as stranger to myself. ⁸For he is part of me and I of him, and we are part of You Who are our Source, eternally united in Your Love; eternally the holy Son of God.

We who are one would recognize this day the truth about ourselves. ²We would come home, and rest in unity. ³For there is peace, and nowhere else can peace be sought and found. (A Course in Miracles, W-262. See also ACIM Lesson 262 Insights.)

The Love that is our true Self unites us with everyone and with our Father. In this unity there is only peace because there are no differences that can conflict.

When our peace is disturbed, it is always because we are seeing conflicting differences which cannot be real. It is time to let the Holy Spirit help us overlook these mistaken perceptions to see the eternal Love that unites us as God’s one Son.

Accepting Our Reality in Love

This is my holy instant of release.

Father, it is today that I am free, because my will is Yours. ²I thought to make another will. ³Yet nothing that I thought apart from You exists. ⁴And I am free because I was mistaken, and did not affect my own reality at all by my illusions. ⁵Now I give them up, and lay them down before the feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind. ⁶This is my holy instant of release. ⁷Father, I know my will is one with Yours.

And so today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. ²The Son of God this day lays down his dreams. ³The Son of God this day comes home again, released from sin and clad in holiness, with his right mind restored to him at last. (A Course in Miracles, W-227. See also ACIM Lesson 227 Insights.)

Today we can have a new outlook on the world. How we see the world depends on what we believe we are. If we believe we are a body, limited to its perceptions, we see a world of differences and conflict.

But when we accept that we are God’s Son, we see a universe of Love, where all remains in Love’s oneness. There are no differences to conflict, no possibility of harm or loss. We remain unchanged in the heart of Love. This is our reality. It is ours to accept today.

Remembering Our Safety in God’s Love

God is my refuge and security.

I will identify with what I think is refuge and security. ²I will behold myself where I perceive my strength, and think I live within the citadel where I am safe and cannot be attacked. ³Let me today seek not security in danger, nor attempt to find my peace in murderous attack. ⁴I live in God. ⁵In Him I find my refuge and my strength. ⁶In Him is my Identity. ⁷In Him is everlasting peace. ⁸And only there will I remember Who I really am.

Let me not seek for idols. ²I would come, my Father, home to You today. ³I choose to be as You created me, and find the Son whom You created as my Self. (A Course in Miracles, W-261. See also ACIM Lesson 261 Insights.)

The body is an ego image of vulnerability. It needs constant vigilance to protect its ‘life’. If we identify with the body as what we are, we cannot feel safe. We will be constantly looking for a place or circumstance where we feel protected. All this only seems to be needed in a dream of separation.

In reality, we are always perfectly safe. We remain at home in the safety and certainty of our Father’s eternal Love. Today we remind ourselves that our true Identity is one with God. Our safety is guaranteed by our Creator. And we are grateful that this is so.

Accepting Our Identity in the Peace of God

Now will I seek and find the peace of God.

In peace I was created. ²And in peace do I remain. ³It is not given me to change my Self. ⁴How merciful is God my Father, that when He created me He gave me peace forever. ⁵Now I ask but to be what I am. ⁶And can this be denied me, when it is forever true?

Father, I seek the peace You gave as mine in my creation. ²What was given then must be here now, for my creation was apart from time, and still remains beyond all change. ³The peace in which Your Son was born into Your Mind is shining there unchanged. ⁴I am as You created me. ⁵I need but call on You to find the peace You gave. ⁶It is Your Will that gave it to Your Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-230. See also ACIM Lesson 230 Insights.)

Everyone in this dream world wants peace. The ego directs us to try to change the world around us to bring us peace. Yet an outer world is only a projection of the belief in separation and differences, which could never be real. Only differences can conflict.

In the oneness of the Love we are, there are no differences. Peace is an attribute of our true Identity. It is our birthright as God’s one Son. Peace can be hidden beneath layers of mistaken beliefs, but it can never be lost. Today we choose to let God’s Voice guide us to find the peace that remains forever part of our Identity.

The Voice That Leads Us Home to Love

Now do we come to Him with but His Word upon our minds and hearts, and wait for Him to take the step to us that He has told us, through His Voice, He would not fail to take when we invited Him.

⁵Sit silently and wait upon your Father. ⁶He has willed to come to you when you have recognized it is your will He do so. ⁷And you could have never come this far unless you saw, however dimly, that it is your will.

²We have found the way He chose for us, and made the choice to follow it as He would have us go. ³His Hand has held us up. ⁴His Thoughts have lit the darkness of our minds. ⁵His Love has called to us unceasingly since time began.

…we need only call to God, and all temptations disappear. ³Instead of words, we need but feel His Love. ⁴Instead of prayers, we need but call His Name. ⁵Instead of judging, we need but be still and let all things be healed. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.in.4:1;5:5-7;8:2-5;10:2-5)

Judging is the way the ego protects its domain from the influence of the oneness of God’s Love. That which knows oneness sees nothing to judge. We seek the Love of God only because we have identified with the ego’s denial of Love.

Our true Self remains eternally united with our Father. Today we remind ourselves that we are Love. We welcome the guidance of His Voice to see the world through eyes of Love. This vision looks past all appearances to the Light of Love that is the truth in everyone, always. We are grateful for His Voice, which leads us Home to our Source, and our true Identity.

Our Holiness Sees Only Love

Your holiness reverses all the laws of the world. ²It is beyond every restriction of time, space, distance and limits of any kind. ³Your holiness is totally unlimited in its power because it establishes you as a Son of God, at one with the Mind of his Creator.

Through your holiness the power of God is made manifest. ²Through your holiness the power of God is made available. ³And there is nothing the power of God cannot do. ⁴Your holiness, then, can remove all pain, can end all sorrow, and can solve all problems. ⁵It can do so in connection with yourself and with anyone else. ⁶It is equal in its power to help anyone because it is equal in its power to save anyone.

If you are holy, so is everything God created. ²You are holy because all things He created are holy.

…search your mind for any sense of loss or unhappiness of any kind as you see it.…

⁵In the situation involving _________ in which I see myself, there is nothing that my holiness cannot do.
⁶In the situation involving _________ in which _________ sees himself, there is nothing my holiness cannot do. (A Course in Miracles, W-38.1:1–3:2;4:1,5-6. See also ACIM Lesson 38 Insights.)

The ego is the wish for limitations. It made the body as a means for limiting perception to seeing nothing that is real. Our true Identity remains unchanged by the ego and its limitations.

Our Identity as God’s Son shares the Identity of our Creator. All of His strength, His Love and His holiness are ours, for we remain united with our Father. Anything that disturbs our peace and joy is simply the effect of misidentification with the ego.

That is why there is nothing our holiness cannot do. As we accept our true Identity, our minds are healed. We see with Christ’s vision to recognize the holiness that surrounds us and is in us.

We Are Safe in God’s Love

God does not change His Mind about you, for He is not uncertain of Himself. …³He created you for Himself, but He gave you the power to create for yourself so you would be like Him. ⁴That is why your mind is holy. ⁵Can anything exceed the Love of God? ⁶Can anything, then, exceed your will? ⁷Nothing can reach you from beyond it because, being in God, you encompass everything. ⁸Believe this, and you will realize how much is up to you. ⁹When anything threatens your peace of mind, ask yourself, “Has God changed His Mind about me?” ¹⁰Then accept His decision, for it is indeed changeless, and refuse to change your mind about yourself. ¹¹God will never decide against you, or He would be deciding against Himself. (A Course in Miracles, T-10.in.3:1,3-11. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Love does not condemn. God’s Love for us, His Son, remains eternally changeless. He created His Son to be like Himself — eternally Love and extending Love without limit. He does not change His Mind about His creation. Nothing can exceed His Love.

When anything disturbs our peace of mind, we need to remind ourselves that God has not changed His Mind about us. He will never decide against His creation, which remains eternally one with Himself. Today we remind ourselves that we are the Love of God.
