Healing Our Mistaken Beliefs

No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure before the face of one who has forgiven and has blessed himself.

The lilies [of forgiveness] that your brother offers you are laid upon your altar, with the ones you offer him beside them. …The blessedness you will behold will take away all thought of form, and leave instead the perfect gift [of Love] forever there, forever to increase, forever yours, forever given away.

Now are we one in [the Thought of Love], for fear has gone. And here, before the altar to one God, one Father, one Creator and one Thought, we stand together as one Son of God. Not separate from Him Who is our Source; not distant from one brother who is part of our one Self Whose innocence has joined us all as one, we stand in blessedness, and give as we receive. The Name of God is on our lips. And as we look within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of our Father’s Love.

Now are we blessed, and now we bless the world. [The Love] we have looked upon we would extend, for we would see it every­where. We would behold it shining with the grace of God in everyone. We would not have it be withheld from anything we look upon. And to ensure this holy sight is ours, we offer it to everything we see. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 187, W-pI.187.8:6;9:1,5;10:1-11:5. See also ACIM Lesson 187 Insights.)

The world we see is a place of sacrifice and loss. To have the illusion of specialness we must sacrifice the Reality of Love’s oneness. We lose awareness of Love’s innocence and oneness. Yet Love remains our Reality, unchanged by our denial of It.

Only the mistaken belief in separation makes us unaware of the eternal Love in our mind that maintains our unity with our Creator. Beliefs can be changed. They are easily dismissed when they are recognized as mistaken.

We have been given the Holy Spirit to guide us to the Truth that heals our false beliefs. By choosing His perception of Love instead of the ego’s perception of separation, we forgive. We let go of mistaken beliefs and overlook the illusions they made to the Truth of our wholeness in the Heart of God.

Today we practice holding our mind open to the Holy Spirit’s vision to heal our mistaken perceptions.
