This space you see as setting off all things from one another is the means by which the world’s perception is achieved. ²You see something where nothing is, and see as well nothing where there is unity; a space between all things, between all things and you. ³Thus do you think that you have given life in separation. ⁴By this split you think you are established as a unity which functions with an independent will.
Such is the teaching of the world. ²It is a phase of learning everyone who comes must go through. ³But the sooner he perceives on what it rests, how questionable are its premises, how doubtful its results, the sooner does he question its effects. ⁴Learning that stops with what the world would teach stops short of meaning. ⁵In its proper place, it serves but as a starting point from which another kind of learning can begin, a new perception can be gained, and all the arbitrary names the world bestows can be withdrawn as they are raised to doubt.
Think not you made the world. ²Illusions, yes! ³But what is true in earth and Heaven is beyond your naming. ⁴When you call upon a brother, it is to his body that you make appeal. ⁵His true Identity is hidden from you by what you believe he really is.
⁵The Name of God is the inheritance He gave to those who chose the teaching of the world to take the place of Heaven. ⁶In our practicing, our purpose is to let our minds accept what God has given as the answer to the pitiful inheritance you made as fitting tribute to the Son He loves. (A Course in Miracles, W-184.2;7:1–8:5;12:5-6. See also ACIM Lesson 184 Insights.)
In the dream of separation we learn to function in a world differences. To be safe, we learn to protect ourselves from differences that seem to clash. But the protective mechanisms we learn hide the one Thought that would bring us perfect peace, supreme happiness and Love that unites with all that is real.
Today we remind ourselves frequently to accept our Father’s gift of all of His Love, and to extend His Love to all we meet or think of. Thus will we learn that we live in the Heaven of God’s Love.
