Accepting the One Identity We Share with All

God’s Name can not be heard without response, nor said without an echo in the mind that calls you to remember. ²Say His Name, and you invite the angels to surround the ground on which you stand, and sing to you as they spread out their wings to keep you safe, and shelter you from every worldly thought that would intrude upon your holiness.

Repeat God’s Name, and all the world responds by laying down illusions. ²Every dream the world holds dear has suddenly gone by, and where it seemed to stand you find a star; a miracle of grace.

Repeat God’s Name, and you acknowledge Him as sole Creator of reality. ²And you acknowledge also that His Son is part of Him, creating in His Name. ³Sit silently, and let His Name become the all-encompassing idea that holds your mind completely. ⁴Let all thoughts be still except this one. ⁵And to all other thoughts respond with this, and see God’s Name replace the thousand little names you gave your thoughts, not realizing that there is one Name for all there is, and all that there will be. (A Course in Miracles, W-183.2:1–3:2;8. See also ACIM Lesson 183 Insights.)

In the dream of separation, we use names to identify the myriad images of differences the ego contrives. By naming them, we assign them meaning. Yet differences are illusions, which have no real meaning of their own.

By repeating God’s Name, we are accepting the meaning of the One Identity Which has reality — the oneness of Love. It is the only Identity we share with our Father and all of His one Son. This is the true Self we share with every brother. As we repeat God’s Name, all the names that seemed to make separation real fade away. And we acknowledge the one Identity we share with all.
