Waking to the Universe of Love

Creation’s gentleness is all I see.

I have indeed misunderstood the world, because I laid my sins on it and saw them looking back at me. ²How fierce they seemed! ³And how deceived was I to think that what I feared was in the world, instead of in my mind alone. ⁴Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which creation shines. ⁵There is no fear in it. ⁶Let no appearance of my sins obscure the light of Heaven shining on the world. ⁷What is reflected there is in God’s Mind. ⁸The images I see reflect my thoughts. ⁹Yet is my mind at one with God’s. ¹⁰And so I can perceive creation’s gentleness.

In quiet would I look upon the world, which but reflects Your Thoughts, and mine as well. ²Let me remember that they are the same, and I will see creation’s gentleness. (A Course in Miracles, W-265. See also ACIM Lesson 265 Insights.)

What are our ‘sins’ but our denial of God’s gift of all of His Love? The effect of this denial is a dream where love is absent and fear and guilt a constant presence. This dream is a self-deception with a substitute that hides the eternal presence of our Father’s Love. In sleep we are unaware of the life we live in the gentleness of changeless Love.

Today we choose to quiet our troubled mind. We open to Love’s Presence and let Its Light shine into our dreams to reveal the Thoughts of Love we share with our Creator. We will see these Thoughts reflected in the dream, waking us to the Universe of Love in which we live.
