Remembering Our Eternal Identity

³There is no relationship between what is real and what you think is real. ⁴Nothing that you think are your real thoughts resemble your real thoughts in any respect. ⁵Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision will show you.

You think with the Mind of God. ²Therefore you share your thoughts with Him, as He shares His with you. ³They are the same thoughts, because they are thought by the same Mind. ⁴To share is to make alike, or to make one. ⁵Nor do the thoughts you think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because thoughts do not leave their source. ⁶Therefore, your [real] thoughts are in the Mind of God, as you are. ⁷They are in your mind as well, where He is. ⁸As you are part of His Mind, so are your [real] thoughts part of His Mind.

⁴We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back. ⁵We will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would have us do is impossible. ⁶Instead, we will try to recognize that only what God would have us do is possible. (A Course in Miracles, W-45.1:3–2:8;4:4-6. See also ACIM Lesson 45 Insights.)

Dreams are not real. But thoughts in dreams seem real to the dreamer. When the dreamer awakens, he realizes what he thought in the dream was not real.

The Course is teaching us that our Real Thoughts are extensions of Love and nothing else. They are God’s extension which He shares with us. As we learn to recognize the thoughts that deny Love’s oneness are not real, our minds become open to join in the eternal extension of Love that created us, His Son.

This is a core principle of A Course in Miracles. We remain Love as we were created. We continue creation by extending Love. This is where we find peace and joy.

As we let the Holy Spirit help us let go of our mistaken thoughts of separation, our mind is healed. We awaken to the Mind of God and recognize It as our own. Peace returns as we remember our eternal Identity.
