Only Love Creates, and Only Like Itself

…the Holy Spirit is part of you. Created by God, He left neither God nor His creation. He is both God and you, as you are God and Him together. For God’s Answer to the separation added more to you than you tried to take away. He protected both your creations [extensions of Love] and you together, keeping one with you [the Love] you would exclude. And [your extensions of Love] will take the place of [the separation] you took in to replace them. They [your extensions of Love] are quite real, as part of the Self you do not know. They communicate to you through the Holy Spirit, and their power and gratitude to you for their creation they offer gladly to your teaching of yourself, who is their home. You who are host to God are also host to [your extensions of Love]. For nothing real [Love] has ever left the mind of its creator. And what is not real was never there.

To your most holy Self all praise is due for what you are, and for what [God] is Who created you as you are. Sooner or later must everyone bridge the gap he imagines exists between his selves. Each one builds this bridge, which carries him across the gap as soon as he is willing to expend some little effort on behalf of bridging it. His little efforts are powerfully supplemented by the strength of Heaven, and by the united will of all who make Heaven what it is, being joined [as one] within it. (A Course in Miracles, T-16.III.5;8:1-4. See also ACIM Text Q & A.) “Only love creates, and only like itself.” (W-pII.11.1:2)

The sooner we recognize that nothing in the world can bring us lasting happiness and peace, the sooner we become willing to let the Holy Spirit help us bridge the gap between the isolated self we have believed we are and the holy Self we are in truth. When we are willing to be taught, our inner Teacher will help us see the oneness of Love beyond the separating images of the ego thought system.

Being Love’s creation, the Holy Spirit sees only Love as real. Love is unlimited and cannot be limited to a form. The Holy Spirit will help us see that the forms of the world are unreal and can have no effect on our true Self. As we accept this vision, we find peace. We rest in the certainty of the changeless Love we are. And our hearts are filled with joy as we recognize every brother is one with us in this changeless Love.
