Remembering the Certainty of God’s Love

³Pain is but witness to the Son’s mistakes in what he thinks he is. ⁴It is a dream of fierce retaliation for a crime that could not be committed; for attack on what is wholly unassailable. ⁵It is a nightmare of abandonment by an Eternal Love, which could not leave the Son whom It created out of love.

It is your thoughts alone that cause you pain. ²Nothing external to your mind can hurt or injure you in any way. ³There is no cause beyond yourself that can reach down and bring oppression. ⁴No one but yourself affects you. ⁵There is nothing in the world that has the power to make you ill or sad, or weak or frail. ⁶But it is you who have the power to dominate all things you see by merely recognizing what you are. ⁷As you perceive the harmlessness in them, they will accept your holy will as theirs. ⁸And what was seen as fearful now becomes a source of innocence and holiness. (A Course in Miracles, W-190.2:3-5;5. See also ACIM Lesson 190 Insights.)

The ego does not accept responsibility for the pain it causes. It goes all out to project the causes on an external world that is nothing more than a dream, held in place by our mistaken identification with the ego. The ego is not our friend. It wants us dead as the ultimate ‘proof’ that it has won its battle with God.

But what is unassailable does not respond to the ego’s fantasies. Our Father loves us as His Son, without limit. He knows we remain united with Him in His Love. It is time to forgive ourselves for our mistaken wish for specialness. As we accept the forgiving vision of Christ, we let go of the ego’s projections. We see that we dwell in the eternal Heaven of God’s Love. We rest in the certainty of the holiness our Father shares with us.
