Remembering the Life We Live in Love

⁷The overlooking of the battleground is now your purpose.

Be lifted up, and from a higher place look down upon it. ²From there will your perspective be quite different. ³Here in the midst of it, it does seem real. ⁴Here you have chosen to be part of it. ⁵Here murder is your choice. ⁶Yet from above, the choice is miracles instead of murder. ⁷And the perspective coming from this choice shows you the battle is not real, and easily escaped. ⁸Bodies may battle, but the clash of forms is meaningless. ⁹And it is over when you realize it never was begun. ¹⁰How can a battle be perceived as nothingness when you engage in it?

Think what is given those who share their Father’s purpose, and who know that it is theirs. ²They want for nothing. ³Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. ⁴Only the light they love is in awareness, and only love shines upon them forever. ⁵It is their past, their present and their future; always the same, eternally complete and wholly shared. ⁶They know it is impossible their happiness could ever suffer change of any kind. ⁷Perhaps you think the battleground can offer something you can win. ⁸Can it be anything that offers you a perfect calmness, and a sense of love so deep and quiet that no touch of doubt can ever mar your certainty? ⁹And that will last forever? (A Course in Miracles, T-23.IV.4:7–5:10;8:1-9. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The wish for specialness is the wish to sever our connection with the eternal changeless Source of life. Fortunately, we can deny our connection but we cannot obliterate entirely. Our true Self remains eternally one with the unity of Love that created us.

When we let the Holy Spirit lift our perspective above the battleground of this world, we can see the reality of Love. We see our unity with every brother. Instead of conflict we see the joyous flow of Love without limit. We experience peace and a sense of safety knowing that we live in the Love of God.
