The mind can make the belief in separation very real and very fearful, and this belief is the “devil.” ²It is powerful, active, destructive and clearly in opposition to God, because it literally denies His Fatherhood. ³Look at your life and see what the devil has made. ⁴But realize that this making will surely dissolve in the light of truth, because its foundation is a lie. ⁵Your creation by God is the only Foundation that cannot be shaken, because the light is in it. ⁶Your starting point is truth, and you must return to your Beginning. ⁷Much has been seen since then, but nothing has really happened. ⁸Your Self is still in peace, even though your mind is in conflict. ⁹You have not yet gone back far enough, and that is why you become so fearful. ¹⁰As you approach the Beginning, you feel the fear of the destruction of your thought system upon you as if it were the fear of death. ¹¹There is no death, but there is a belief in death.
³The light will shine from the true Foundation of life, and your own thought system will stand corrected. ⁴It cannot stand otherwise. ⁵You who fear salvation are choosing death. ⁶Life and death, light and darkness, knowledge and perception, are irreconcilable. ⁷To believe that they can be reconciled is to believe that God and His Son can not. ⁸Only the oneness of knowledge is free of conflict. ⁹Your Kingdom is not of this world because it was given you from beyond this world. ¹⁰Only in this world is the idea of an authority problem meaningful. ¹¹The world is not left by death but by truth, and truth can be known by all those for whom the Kingdom was created, and for whom it waits.(A Course in Miracles, T-3.VII.5;6:3-11. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
God is our Foundation. The Life He has given us stands on all His Strength and Love. This Foundation cannot be altered because it is all that is Real.
The ego is an attempt to alter the unalterable. The most that it can offer is a dream in which our Foundation is hidden under lies that proclaim death is real. It is time to let go of that painful belief.
Today we pause to rest our troubled mind in the changeless peace of our Home in God. Here we remember our true Identity as His Son with all His Strength.
