My Belief

⁷Your mind is one with God’s. ⁸Denying this and thinking otherwise has held your ego together, but has literally split your mind. ⁹As a loving brother I am deeply concerned with your mind, and urge you to follow my example as you look at yourself and at your brother, and see in both the glorious creations of a glorious Father. (ACIM, T-4.IV.2:7-9)

Denying that my mind is one with/same as God’s/Love’s, causes all my unrest, my fears, my illusions. As I learn that this denial is the cause of every unhappy or unloving idea, I learn that there is another way- a different way to “think”, by letting go of the irrational, insane thoughts of a mind made insane by meaningless thoughts.
This idea threatens the separated mind to its “core”.

The separated mind is an oxymoron, as that which was Created, comes from Mind, has not made itself into something “else” as the tiny delusional piece of idea would have me believe.

“What is real cannot be threatened “- the Real is the complete Whole Thought / Beingness of Love. It is comforting to me now to read these words. How glad I feel to “see” that my tiny, vague, meaningless thoughts have not ever changed the beauty of the Changeless idea of Perfect Love.

Yet I still (seem) to have “work” to do, a journey to complete, before I reap the benefits of accepting my place in Love’s Mind/Thought. This still is only the split/separated belief making up its story, dream. Beyond the dream of separateness, lies the Truth.

That is, neither myself or any other Child of God, has ever been lost, abandoned, blamed, punished or crucified for the mistaken belief, a belief in what never happened. How simple is the Truth, how easily the mistake can be released, vanished in the blink of an eye. And yet is the simple truth made into another terrifying idea, a device to torture the little mind whose only purpose is to protect the belief in separation protect it from the least grain of doubt, smallest iota of distrust or uncertainty.

As this section title (chapter 4, IV.) states As this section title (chapter 4, IV.) states- <strong> all the efforts of this tiny delusional idea really are nothing. It is still my mistaken belief in its ideas that keeps it going, gives it energy. As I learn to release my focus, my attention on this bit of fluff, this tiniest residue of a dream, I will experience less and lass of its presence as I train my mind not to give attention to its feeble cry and empty tantrums. There is no need to punish myself for the little trip-ups or detours I may take. My goal is certain, my destination complete.

I rest in the certainty of Loves Presence. For I am never alone, never berefit of my True Source. I am grateful that this is so.
