Choosing Lessons in Love

The lessons to be learned are only two. Each has its outcome in a different world. And each world follows surely from its source. The certain outcome of the lesson that God’s Son is guilty is the world you see. …However much you may have overlearned your chosen task, the lesson that reflects the Love of God is stronger still. And you will learn God’s Son is innocent, and see another world.

The outcome of the lesson that God’s Son is guiltless is a world in which there is no fear, and everything is lit with hope and sparkles with a gentle friendliness. Nothing but calls to you in soft appeal to be your friend, and let it join with you. And never does a call remain unheard, misunderstood, nor left unanswered in the selfsame tongue in which the call was made. And you will understand it was this call that everyone and everything within the world has always made, but you had not perceived it as it was. And now you see you were mistaken. You had been deceived by forms the call was hidden in. And so you did not hear it, and had lost a friend who always wanted to be part of you. The soft eternal calling of each part of God’s creation to the whole is heard throughout the world this second lesson brings.

There is no living thing that does not share the universal Will that it be whole, and that you do not leave its call unheard.” (A Course in Miracles, T-31.I.7:1-5,10-11;8:1-9:1. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The ego’s purpose for all the images of the world is to teach that God’s Son is guilty. The appearance of harm, devastation, attack and death all seem to justify the judgment of guilt. Yet all these forms are illusions because God and all His Creations are changeless Love and cannot harm nor be harmed. The purpose of the ego’s illusions is to hide the Truth behind its images of guilt.

The Holy Spirit has a different purpose for our self-made learning skill. His purpose is to teach us that God’s Son is guiltless. Gently and persistently He teaches us to recognize the falsity of the ego’s images. As we learn what is false, we easily overlook it. Forgiveness simply overlooks what could never be true. We learn these lessons when we are willing to bring our thoughts of fear and guilt to the Holy Spirit and welcome His lessons in Love to replace the ego’s lessons in guilt.

Today we choose the Holy Spirit’s lessons in Love.
