The Choice to Listen to God’s Voice

A sense of separation from God is the only lack you really need correct. ²This sense of separation would never have arisen if you had not distorted your perception of truth, and had thus perceived yourself as lacking.

The real purpose of this world is to use it to correct your unbelief. ²You can never control the effects of fear yourself, because you made fear, and you believe in what you made.

³In sorting out the false from the true, the miracle proceeds along these lines:

⁴Perfect love casts out fear.
⁵If fear exists, then there is not perfect love.

⁶But:

⁷Only perfect love exists.
⁸If there is fear, it produces a state that does not exist.

⁹Believe this and you will be free. ¹⁰Only God can establish this solution, and this faith is His gift. (T-1.VI.2:1-2;4:1-2;5:3-10)

There is nothing to fear because only Love is real. Our only function in this world is to forgive the mistaken belief that we have succeeded in separating from Love. This world is the effect of insisting on being special. With this demand came the dream of a world of conflict, differences, lack and loss. Love is universal and eternal; one and the same throughout. There is no place for differences, lack or loss in God’s Love.

He has given us His Voice to help us recognize the fallacy of our belief in separation. As we learn His lessons, our perceptions of differences fade in importance. The brilliant Light of Love grows stronger in our mind. We choose to listen to His Voice today.
