Returning to Our True Home

Can you imagine how beautiful those you forgive will look to you? In no fantasy have you ever seen anything so lovely. Nothing you see here, sleeping or waking, comes near to such loveliness. And nothing will you value like unto this, nor hold so dear. Nothing that you remember that made your heart sing with joy has ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight will bring you. For you will see the Son of God. You will behold the beauty the Holy Spirit loves to look upon, and which He thanks the Father for. He was created to see this for you, until you learned to see it for yourself. And all His teaching leads to seeing it and giving thanks with Him.

The real world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the world you see without forgiveness. The great Transformer of perception will undertake with you the careful searching of the mind that made this world, and uncover to you the seeming reasons for your making it. In the light of the real reason that He brings, as you follow Him, He will show you that there is no reason here at all. Each spot His reason touches grows alive with beauty, and what seemed ugly in the darkness of your lack of reason is suddenly released to loveliness. Not even what the Son of God made in insanity could be without a hidden spark of beauty that gentleness could release. (A Course in Miracles, T-17.II.1;5. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

It is time to give up seeking happiness in the forms of the world. Happiness is an inside job because it is a gift already given us by our Creator. The world of separation made by the ego stands as a barrier that hides our happiness, peace and our limitless Love from our awareness.

The Holy Spirit, the great Transformer, is ever-present in our mind. If we choose His guidance, He will gently and lovingly guide us out of the chaotic world of images made by the ego as a substitute for the reality of changeless Love. He will help us ferret out the mistaken beliefs that hide the real world from our awareness and help us let them go.

Each time we forgive we take another step toward the bridge of return. At this bridge, where forgiveness is complete, we leave behind the fantasies of the world of separation and are drawn gently Home to the place where our joy and peace are complete and changeless. Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s guidance, for we desire to return to our true Home.
