The ego is insane. ²In fear it stands beyond the Everywhere, apart from All, in separation from the Infinite. ³In its insanity it thinks it has become a victor over God Himself.
The Son of God is egoless. ²What can he know of madness and the death of God, when he abides in Him? ³What can he know of sorrow and of suffering, when he lives in eternal joy? ⁴What can he know of fear and punishment, of sin and guilt, of hatred and attack, when all there is surrounding him is everlasting peace, forever conflict-free and undisturbed, in deepest silence and tranquility?
To know reality is not to see the ego and its thoughts, its works, its acts, its laws and its beliefs, its dreams, its hopes, its plans for its salvation, and the cost belief in it entails.
Yet will one lily of forgiveness change the darkness into light; the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. ²And peace will be restored forever to the holy minds which God created as His Son, His dwelling place, His joy, His love, completely His, completely one with Him. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.12.2:1-3;3;4:1;5)
The ego is not our identity, but our belief in it casts a veil upon it which covers our true Identity. This false identity appears to be real. Shrouded in fear, we seem to live a life that requires constant vigilance for our safety. The only way out seems to be death.
Yet the Life we live in God is untouched by these hallucinations. We remain as God created us, His one Son. We are surrounded by His peace, His Love and His joy. Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s help to heal our fear-based thoughts and open our vision to see the Light of Love in which we live.
