Only Love Happens

Nothing ever really happens in the dream. The perception that anything happens in the dream is a self-deception so profound that it makes us oblivious to the changeless Love that surrounds us and is us. The dream seems real only because we have effectively denied the reality of Love. It is why the dream is depressing and fearful. It is why everyone in the world is in some way seeking for Love.

The good news is that no matter how engrossed in the fantasy we may be, only the reality of Love ever happens. Love extends eternally, whether we deny it or not. This makes the antidote to the dream of isolation and lack very simple: Stop denying Love. It seems difficult only because we have convinced ourselves that there is something in the world we want.

Yet A Course in Miracles reminds us that the world holds nothing that we want (ACIM Workbook Lesson 128) and forgiveness offers everything we want (Lesson 122). This is why the practice of being vigilant of our thoughts and bringing every one that is not peaceful to the Holy Spirit with a mind open to His gentle correction is how we accept release from the nightmare of separation. Forgiveness offers everything we want.

Today is a day of happy practice to let the Holy Spirit, our true Self, be our Interpreter in every moment.

In order to let go of what is not true, we must be willing to receive what is true. Willingness to question the thoughts we are believing in opens the door to receiving our real thoughts, the thoughts we think with God. As we are willing to practice opening to God’s peace, minute by minute, it becomes very clear that only the Love of God is real. We are filled with gratitude that what is real cannot be threatened and nothing else is real.
