Seeing Past Differences to Love’s Oneness

The ego is not a traitor to God, to Whom treachery is impossible. ²But it is a traitor to you who believe that you have been treacherous to your Father. ³That is why the undoing of guilt is an essential part of the Holy Spirit’s teaching. ⁴For as long as you feel guilty you are listening to the voice of the ego, which tells you that you have been treacherous to God and therefore deserve death. ⁵You will think that death comes from God and not from the ego because, by confusing yourself with the ego, you believe that you want death. ⁶And from what you want God does not save you.

When you are tempted to yield to the desire for death, remember that I did not die. ²You will realize that this is true when you look within and see me. ³Would I have overcome death for myself alone? ⁴And would eternal life have been given me of the Father unless He had also given it to you? ⁵When you learn to make me manifest, you will never see death. ⁶For you will have looked upon the deathless in yourself, and you will see only the eternal as you look out upon a world that cannot die. (A Course in Miracles, T-12.VII.14–15. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

What we wish for we receive because we want it. If we wish for a unique identity, different from all others, we will believe we have it. The consequence of this belief is an experience of conflict and loss, guilt and fear, because this belief denies the oneness of universal Love.

Our true Self dwells in Love where all is the same. There are no differences which conflict or need to be defended against. We rest in the peace of changeless Love where we share the joy of giving and receiving Love. The one Self we share with our Father and brothers shares eternal life.

As we practice taking all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit to receive His interpretation, we will learn to see the face of Christ in everyone. Christ’s vision is seen through forgiving eyes which overlook all differences.
