The Search for Our True Identity

²Because your grievances are hiding the light of the world in you, everyone stands in darkness, and you beside him. ³But as the veil of your grievances is lifted, you are released with him. ⁴Share your salvation now with him who stood beside you when you were in hell. ⁵He is your brother in the light of the world that saves you both.

²Salvation is our only need. ³There is no other purpose here, and no other function to fulfill. ⁴Learning salvation is our only goal. ⁵Let us end the ancient search today by finding the light in us, and holding it up for everyone who searches with us to look upon and rejoice. (A Course in Miracles, W-69.1:2-5;3:2-5. See also ACIM Lesson 69 Insights.)

The ego is a grievance against God, Who could not give the ego what it asked for and remain true to Himself. Without God’s blessing, the ego made up a world filled with illusionary images that seem to satisfy its demand for specialness. But for this world to seem to be seen, ego had to shut out the Light of our Father’s Love.

We can return to the Light that is our Source and holy Home by forgiving the images of specialness we perceive. This is the only way to free ourselves from the ego’s fruitless search for peace. The ego is terrified of peace and will always direct us to search where it cannot be found.

In every moment we have the opportunity to accept the Holy Spirit’s help to lead us to the peace within, which is our eternal Identity.
