ACIM T-24.III The Forgiveness of Specialness

June 15, 2010

Whatever form of specialness we cling to, we thus block the awareness of who we really are from ourselves.  The full awareness of our wholeness is dependent on the full forgiveness of any thought that is a block to our awareness.  We cling to that one specialness and thus cannot see clearly because we have not released that idea specialness.  We see either Truth of illusion, but not both at once.  We really need do very little to see our wholeness.  All we need do is release our attachment to the thought of any specialness.

Is it really that simple?  Yes, as long as we are willing to let go of everything.  But we are so used to our mistaken idea of specialness that we are very resistant to the idea of letting it go.  We have clung to it all our lives.  And we know old habits are difficult to let go of.  Once we do truly let go, we experience the wholeness of our being.  We feel the peace of God deep within us.  A feeling of joy and happiness comes up deep within us, warming our soul in a peaceful way that we can embrace without fear of it ever ending.  We know that what we are and feel in that moment is limitless and everlasting.  We recognize our Self in this bliss.

Letting go of all the specialness we have been unwilling to release gives us the freedom to see ourselves and each other clearly, as we really are.  We recognize the divinity of all creation wherever we look.  We know that it is all One, that it is all inseparable.  We have seen Oneness.  We have seen God.  We have seen ourselves and each other as we really are.  It brings such joy to our hearts that we find no need for the illusion of specialness anymore. And thus we can release all our thoughts of specialness, every one of them, without exception.  And we open our mind to the truth of our holiness.  We are at peace.  We are truly One.
