Today we will anticipate the time when dreams of sin and guilt are gone, and we have reached the holy peace we never left. Merely a tiny instant has elapsed between eternity and timelessness. So brief the interval there was no lapse in continuity, nor break in thoughts which are forever unified as one. Nothing has ever happened to disturb the peace of God the Father and the Son. This we accept as wholly true today.
We thank You, Father, that we cannot lose the memory of You and of Your Love. We recognize our safety, and give thanks for all the gifts You have bestowed on us, for all the loving help we have received, for Your eternal patience, and the Word which You have given us that we are saved. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 234, W-pII.234. See also ACIM Lesson 234 Insights.)
When we hear news of mass shootings and conflict in the world, it seems difficult to believe that its only a dream that has no effect on the truth of What we are. This is because we have taught ourselves repeatedly, over and over, to believe we are an identity that is not real. This belief makes the world and everything that seems to happen within it seem real.
Beneath this façade, we stand on a rock-solid, unchangeable foundation that God created one with Him. No matter what we believe about what we are, our true Self remains unfazed. It remains God’s Son, His extension of the Love He is. This foundation keeps us safe from the effects of any fantasy we may entertain about what we are.
The memory of What we are cannot be lost. We may deny it and hide it from ourselves, but we can remember It in any instant. We need only forgive ourselves for believing we are a false identity. The Holy Spirit is ever present in our mind to guide us to this release. He will never ask us to make a leap that would bring us fear. With infinite patience He will guide us gently to let go of our mistaken beliefs one by one until we realize that all these mistaken beliefs are the same at their core. They are all beliefs in separation that could never be real. As we accept this fully, our forgiveness is complete and we remember we are God’s Son.
