Opening to the Light Within You

There is a light in you which cannot die; whose presence is so holy that the world is sanctified because of you.

This is the way salvation works. As you step back, the light in you steps forward and encompasses the world. It heralds not the end of sin in punishment and death. In lightness and in laughter is sin gone, because its quaint absurdity is seen. It is a foolish thought, a silly dream, not frightening, ridiculous perhaps, but who would waste an instant in approach to God Himself for such a senseless whim?

“Who walks with me?” This question should be asked a thousand times a day, till certainty has ended doubting and established peace. Today let doubting cease. God speaks for you in answering your question with these words:

I walk with God in perfect holiness. I light the world, I light my mind and all the minds which God created one with me. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 156, W-pI.156.4:1;6,8. See also ACIM Lesson 156 Insights.)

We are no more limited than God. And God is unlimited, eternal and changeless. His Light is in us. It is our Life, the Life we share with God.

In this world it doesn’t seem that we are unlimited. We see individual bodies and forms. It seems that there are other bodies that can make us feel good or bad, safe or endangered. Yet these are false images that we need to step back from — we need to let go of identifying with these images as what we are.

As we let go of these mistaken images, we open to the recognition that we always walk with God. God is our constant Companion. His strength is ours and we share His peace and joy. The Love God is is What we are. The Light of God is What we are.

As we step back and let God’s Light shine through, we experience the deep peace and perfect happiness that is God’s gift to His Son
