Choosing Heaven by Choosing Our One Self

When no perception stands between God and His creations [extensions of Love], or between His children and their own, the knowledge of creation must continue forever. ²The reflections you accept into the mirror of your mind in time but bring eternity nearer or farther. ³But eternity itself is beyond all time. ⁴Reach out of time and touch [eternity], with the help of its reflection in you. ⁵And you will turn from time to holiness, as surely as the reflection of holiness calls everyone to lay all guilt aside. ⁶Reflect the peace of Heaven here, and bring this world to Heaven. ⁷For the reflection of truth draws everyone to truth, and as they enter into it they leave all reflections behind.

In Heaven reality is shared and not reflected. ²By sharing [Heaven’s] reflection here, its truth becomes the only perception the Son of God accepts. ³And thus, remembrance of his Father dawns on him, and he can no longer be satisfied with anything but his own reality. ⁴You on earth have no conception of limitlessness, for the world you seem to live in is a world of limits. ⁵In this world, it is not true that anything without order of difficulty can occur. ⁶The miracle, therefore, has a unique function, and is motivated by a unique Teacher Who brings the laws of another world to this one. ⁷The miracle is the one thing you can do that transcends order, being based not on differences but on equality. (A Course in Miracles, T-14.X.1:1–2:7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The oneness of God’s Love is eternal. It has no differences nor limits. We reflect His Love in the world by letting Love guide our perceptions, thoughts and actions. Thus we demonstrate the eternal characteristic of Love in a world where changelessness is inconceivable. When we identify with Love as What we are, we see only Love everywhere. We see Love’s innocence in everyone, for Love cannot see cause for guilt.

The changelessness of Love stands as a Protector that prevents illusions of change and harm from having any real effect. When we choose Love as our Guide, we become Heaven’s reflection in the world. We need make only one choice—whether to identify with Love or deny It. The first choice leads to Heaven. The second choice makes a dream of hell.

Today we choose Heaven by choosing to accept the Love we are in God.
