The Means to Experience Perfect Peace

God goes with me wherever I go. How can I be alone when God always goes with me? How can I be doubtful and unsure of myself when perfect certainty abides in Him? How can I be disturbed by anything when He rests in me in absolute peace? How can I suffer when love and joy surround me through Him? Let me not cherish illusions about myself. I am perfect because God goes with me wherever I go.

God is my strength. Vision is His gift. Let me not look to my own eyes to see today. Let me be willing to exchange my pitiful illusion of seeing for the vision that is given by God. Christ’s vision is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me call upon this gift today, so that this day may help me to understand eternity. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 59, W-pI.59.1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 59 Insights.)

To be aware of the strength of God in us, we must use the vision of Christ, our true Self. This vision sees that the body and all the forms in the dream of separation are not real. Christ’s vision sees past the dream to our eternal unity in the Love of God. God’s changelessness gives us perfect certainty of our safety, peace and happiness.

The body’s eyes are part of the ego’s mechanism to limit our awareness to its dream of conflict, lovelessness and lack. Yet God goes with us wherever we go, whether we are aware of His Presence or not. As we learn to exchange the ego’s illusion of seeing for God’s gift of Christ’s vision, we learn that we dwell in God’s absolute peace and limitless love. We remember our true Home.
