Do not remain in conflict, for there is no war without attack. ²The fear of God is fear of life, and not of death. ³Yet He remains the only place of safety. ⁴In Him is no attack, and no illusion in any form stalks Heaven. ⁵Heaven is wholly true. ⁶No difference enters, and what is all the same cannot conflict. …¹⁰What is not love is murder.
God does not share His function with a body. ²He gave the function to create unto His Son because it is His Own. ³It is not sinful to believe the function of the Son is murder, but it is insanity. ⁴What is the same can have no different function. ⁵Creation is the means for God’s extension, and what is His must be His Son’s as well.
³Each form of murder and attack that still attracts you and that you do not recognize for what it is, limits the healing and the miracles you have the power to extend to all. ⁴Yet does the Holy Spirit understand how to increase your little gifts and make them mighty. ⁵Also He understands how your relationship is raised above the battleground, in it no more.
See no one from the battleground, for there you look on him from nowhere.
Those with the strength of God in their awareness could never think of battle. …⁵The senselessness of conquest is quite apparent from the quiet sphere above the battleground. ⁶What can conflict with everything? ⁷And what is there that offers less, yet could be wanted more? ⁸Who with the Love of God upholding him could find the choice of miracles or murder hard to make? (A Course in Miracles, T-23.IV.1:1-7,10;3:1-5;4:3-5;7:1;9:1,5-8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
In the world, murder denies a body of life. Belief in separation is murderous because it denies our eternal unity with Life. Yet denial of Love’s unity can only seem to have effect in illusions. Love remains unchanged. Our Identity remains united with God as an extension of His Love. Nothing has changed in truth.
While we choose to believe separation is real, we seem to live in a dream world where Life is denied. To see anyone as different is a murderous thought, for it denies the Love he is. He is part of the one Self we share as our true Identity. He cannot be different.
We cannot ask the body to show us the truth, for it is not real. We must rise above the conflicts of the world by welcoming peace in our minds. In this peace, Christ’s vision sees past appearances of conflict. It sees no sin, but only the innocence of Love shared by all in our Home in God.
Today we practice rising above to see the Love.
