When you made visible what is not true, what is true became invisible to you. ²Yet it cannot be invisible in itself, for the Holy Spirit sees it with perfect clarity. ³It is invisible to you because you are looking at something else. ⁴Yet it is no more up to you to decide what is visible and what is invisible, than it is up to you to decide what reality is. ⁵What can be seen is what the Holy Spirit sees. ⁶The definition of reality is God’s, not yours.
Because of your Father’s Love you can never forget Him, for no one can forget what God Himself placed in his memory. ²You can deny it, but you cannot lose it. ³A Voice will answer every question you ask, and a vision will correct the perception of everything you see. ⁴For what you have made invisible is the only truth, and what you have not heard is the only Answer. ⁵God would reunite you with yourself, and did not abandon you in your distress. ⁶You are waiting only for Him, and do not know it. ⁷Yet His memory shines in your mind and cannot be obliterated. ⁸It is no more past than future, being forever always.
…the memory of God can dawn only in a mind that chooses to remember, and that has relinquished the insane desire to control reality. (A Course in Miracles, T-12.VIII.3:1-6;4;5:3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
To truly know reality, we must relinquish the wish to control it. The ego calls this surrender. But it is really the choice for truth over illusion. The memory of God’s Love has stayed with us through all the conflict and chaos the ego has introduced in its wish to have something to keep as its own.
The quest to acquire could only occur in a mind that believes it has less than everything. Yet God gave all of Himself, which is all that is real, when He created us as His Son. When we are willing to consider that we do not know what our perceptions mean, we become open to the memory of the eternal Love that is ours now and forever.
The willingness to accept Holy Spirit’s loving correction for our misperceptions opens the veil to welcome the brilliant Light of Love that is our true environment. We offer this willingness to the Holy Spirit today.
