ACIM T-25.VII The Rock of Salvation

November 30, 2010

In God’s plan it is impossible for anyone to lose for any one to gain.  Losing and gaining cannot exist together.  For anyone to lose, God and God’s creation would have to be limited.  This is simply not true!  The rebirth of this realization, that no one can lose for one to gain, and that when one gains, all gain, is the rock of our salvation.  It is the return to sane thinking.  It is the realization that God is unlimited and not mad.  It is the return to the knowledge of who we really are.

So much of our lives, we have thought we must lose to gain.  We have thought that we must give up our identity to be in God’s Will.  What we don’t realize is that our own will is God’s Will and we have simply made up a will we think we want instead.  Even though our made up will leads us to separation and suffering, unhappiness and guilt, it is a will we have become accustomed to.  It is a will we have come to believe in.  And we think it has little or nothing to do with God.

But we are One with God, an extension of God and God’s creation.  To think anything else is an insane idea that is not based in any reality.  We know that when we do experience the love and peace of God we feel the presence and connectedness with God that is our true nature.

The rock of salvation is the return to sane thinking, to the thinking guided by Spirit, to the thinking that comes from the awareness of our union with God and each other.  Knowing we are One with God and each other is the basis for our sanity.  We gain in our Oneness with God and so do all gain in our Oneness with God.  We are united in Spirit, we have returned to the awareness of who we really are and have always been.  This is the state of Heaven on earth, our home in God.  Here do we dwell as we return to the awareness of who we really are, unlimited, unchangeable, abundant, and free.
