Embracing the Love We Are

Awaking unto Christ is following the laws of love of your free will, and out of quiet recognition of the truth in them. ²The attraction of light must draw you willingly, and willingness is signified by giving. …⁴In sleep you are alone, and your awareness is narrowed to yourself. ⁵And that is why the nightmares come. ⁶You dream of isolation because your eyes are closed. ⁷You do not see your brothers, and in the darkness you cannot look upon the light you gave to them.

And yet the laws of love are not suspended because you sleep. ²And you have followed them through all your nightmares, and have been faithful in your giving, for you were not alone. ³Even in sleep has Christ protected you, ensuring the real world for you when you awake. ⁴In your name He [Christ] has given for you, and given you the gifts He gave. ⁵God’s Son is still as loving as his Father. ⁶Continuous with his Father, he has no past apart from Him. ⁷So he has never ceased to be his Father’s witness and his own. ⁸Although he slept, Christ’s vision did not leave him. ⁹And so it is that he can call unto himself the witnesses that teach him that he never slept. (A Course in Miracles, T-13.VI.12:1-2,4-7;13. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The perception of a past is the effect of identifying with the ego. The ego uses the past as the basis for all judgments, which make fear and guilt appear real. This could only be true if had actually succeeded in separating from our Creator.

But the laws of the Love that created us remain unaffected by our dream that we have made a world where we are alone and autonomous. We are eternally free to awaken from the dream by accepting and giving Love.

As we acknowledge the Love that is the reality of every brother, we awaken to the Love that is our Identity. Our true Identity has never changed. We have always been one with the eternal extension of the Love that created us. Today we embrace the Love we are with gratitude and joy.
