If I accept that I am prisoner within a body, in a world in which all things that seem to live appear to die, then is my Father prisoner with me. ²And this do I believe, when I maintain the laws the world obeys must I obey; the frailties and the sins which I perceive are real, and cannot be escaped. ³If I am bound in any way, I do not know my Father nor my Self. ⁴And I am lost to all reality. ⁵For truth is free, and what is bound is not a part of truth.
Father, I ask for nothing but the truth. ²I have had many foolish thoughts about myself and my creation, and have brought a dream of fear into my mind. ³Today, I would not dream. ⁴I choose the way to You instead of madness and instead of fear. ⁵For truth is safe, and only love is sure. (A Course in Miracles, W-278.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 278 Insights.)
Love has no limits nor boundaries. It is all encompassing and changeless. It is the foundation of our life. We were created by Love to be Love without limits.
In our dream of a vulnerable body, we can call upon these thoughts to remind us of what we are in truth. The truth in us is invulnerable. It is not subject to whims that seem to change, come and go, leaving us uncertain in every moment about our identity and our future.
Today we let these thoughts help us remember that our life is found in the peace within. The chaos without is not real. We want to remember our true Self, which is Love and nothing else. We want to recognize that Love in everyone and everywhere. As we accept this vision, we are certain of our safety and freedom to be the Love that created us.
