Accepting the Love That Is Our True Self

³There is no relationship between what is real and what you think is real. ⁴Nothing that you think are your real thoughts resemble your real thoughts in any respect. ⁵Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision will show you.

You think with the Mind of God. ²Therefore you share your thoughts with Him, as He shares His with you. ³They are the same thoughts, because they are thought by the same Mind. ⁴To share is to make alike, or to make one. ⁵Nor do the thoughts you think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because thoughts do not leave their source. ⁶Therefore, your thoughts are in the Mind of God, as you are. ⁷They are in your mind as well, where He is. ⁸As you are part of His Mind, so are your thoughts part of His Mind.

²We will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. ³We will deny the world in favor of truth. ⁴We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back. ⁵We will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would have us do is impossible. ⁶Instead, we will try to recognize that only what God would have us do is possible.

Under all the senseless thoughts and mad ideas with which you have cluttered up your mind are the thoughts that you thought with God in the beginning. ²They are there in your mind now, completely unchanged. ³They will always be in your mind, exactly as they always were. (A Course in Miracles, W-45.1:3–2:8;4:2-6;7:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 45 Insights.)

If we think with the Mind of God, our real thoughts must be thoughts of Love and nothing else. Because all of God’s Thoughts are eternal and our thoughts are one with His, our real thoughts are eternal. Our true Self is Love and nothing else.

While we identify with the body, we have denied our Identity as Love. The thoughts we have with this state of mind are merely hallucinations which have no effect on our real thoughts. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us see the Love that is everywhere around us and in us.

We want to awaken to the Love we are. We want to embrace the Love that is the truth in every brother, no matter what appearances we may perceive. As we accept our loving thoughts, our minds are healed. Peace and joy replace chaos and fear.
