Choosing Unity Instead of Conflict

There is no conflict, for my will is Yours.

How foolish, Father, to believe Your Son could cause himself to suffer! Could he make a plan for his damnation, and be left without a certain way to his release? You love me, Father. You could never leave me desolate, to die within a world of pain and cruelty. How could I think that Love has left Itself? There is no will except the Will of Love. Fear is a dream, and has no will that can conflict with Yours. Conflict is sleep, and peace awakening. Death is illusion; life, eternal truth. There is no opposition to Your Will. There is no conflict, for my will is Yours.

Forgiveness shows us that God’s Will is One, and that we share [His Will]. Let us look upon the holy sights forgiveness shows today, that we may find the peace of God. Amen. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 331, W-pII.331. See also ACIM Lesson 331 Insights.)

It seems hard to accept the fact that this world is only a dream. It is based on the false belief that Love could leave Itself. This belief came from the wish for specialness, to have some aspect of God’s Love to claim as its own alone. God’s Will is that Love is one and indivisible eternally. Special love could not be granted for Love to remain Itself.

The insistence on having special love could only seem to be accomplished in a dream. This dream shows us the catastrophic consequences of choosing lovelessness. It seems to satisfy the wish for specialness, but is a dream world of lack, loss, pain, fear and death. The attraction of specialness inevitably brings with it these consequences.

We have taught ourselves that this world is real. It is time to undo this lesson. We want the peace of God. We want to remember His eternal, changeless Love for us, His one Son. We want the happiness that is God’s Will for us. We want to remember His Will is ours, one and the same.

The wish for specialness takes many forms in the world. Forgiveness is the way we let go of specialness to remember our true Will. This is the lesson Holy Spirit offers us in every instant. Today we offer ourselves this reminder, “Holy Spirit, I choose your lessons in forgiveness today. Help me forgive my misperceptions. I want to let go of mistaken beliefs that stand between my awareness and the Reality of the Love I am.”
