Remembering Christ, Our True Self

Christ is God’s Son as He created Him. He is the Self we share, uniting us with one another, and with God as well. He is the Thought which still abides within the Mind that is His Source. He has not left His holy home, nor lost the innocence in which He was created. He abides unchanged forever in the Mind of God.

Christ is the link that keeps you one with God, and guarantees that separation is no more than an illusion of despair, for hope forever will abide in Him. Your mind is part of His, and His of yours. [Christ] is the part in which God’s Answer lies; where all decisions are already made, and dreams are over. He remains untouched by anything the body’s eyes perceive. For though in Him His Father placed the means for your salvation, yet does He remain the Self Who, like His Father, knows no sin.

Home of the Holy Spirit, and at home in God alone, does Christ remain at peace within the Heaven of your holy mind. This is the only part of you that has reality in truth. The rest is dreams. Yet will these dreams be given unto Christ, to fade before His glory and reveal your holy Self, the Christ, to you at last. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 271, W-pII.6.1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 271 Insights.)

Christ is the part of our mind that has never left our Home in God, and never will. No matter how much we buy into dreams of fear and separation, the Christ in us, our true Self, remains at Home in Love. This permanence guarantees that we will not and cannot change the Reality of What we are. The world of separation is a place of despair, guilt and fear. But it is based on an illusion that could never be true. We still have the means to remember our true Self, the Christ.

We need to practice bringing our perceptions to the Holy Spirit in our mind Who is the Voice of Christ. As we accept the reinterpretations from the Holy Spirit, we learn to see past the world of hopelessness. We see instead the face of Christ, the symbol of our eternal innocence. We see more clearly the real world of true forgiveness, where innocence is recognized as the only reality. When our forgiveness is complete and we see only the innocence of Christ’s face, we stand at the gate of Heaven, where God welcomes us Home.
