³Nothing in madness is dependable. ⁴It holds out no safety and no hope. ⁵But such a world is not real. ⁶I have given it the illusion of reality, and have suffered from my belief in it. ⁷Now I choose to withdraw this belief, and place my trust in reality. ⁸In choosing this, I will escape all the effects of the world of fear, because I am acknowledging that it does not exist.”
²How can a meaningless world exist if God did not create it? ³He is the Source of all meaning, and everything that is real is in His Mind. ⁴It is in my mind too, because He created it with me. ⁵Why should I continue to suffer from the effects of my own insane thoughts, when the perfection of creation is my home? ⁶Let me remember the power of my decision, and recognize where I really abide. (A Course in Miracles, W-53.3:3-8;4:2-6. See also ACIM Lesson 53 Insights.)
Our Home is perfect Love. Happiness and peace are our natural condition. Anything that seems to disturb this condition must be an hallucination. We can let illusions go as we learn to rely on the Holy Spirit’s vision. It shows us the reality of Love everywhere. As we accept It, the illusions that have disturbed our peace of mind fade into the nothingness from which they came.
Today we affirm that we rest in the Love of God. We are grateful that we have an inner Teacher to lead us to the full recognition that this is so.
