ACIM T-24.II The Treachery of Specialness

June 8, 2010

Specialness is division, it is separation.  It attempts to divide what cannot be divided into unequal parts.  One must be “more”, or “better”, or “higher” than another.  Thinking along this line is surely treacherous.  It blocks our awareness of Truth.  It blocks the awareness of God and Love which cannot be divided up into pieces, equal or unequal.  Once we think anything is divided, we cannot think that anything is One.  The two ideas just don’t make sense with each other.  They are not compatible.  So we continually try to rationalize our separated way of thinking.

What is whole can be nothing but whole.  There can be no part of the whole for it is impossible for wholeness to be unwhole.  God created us by extension, not by separation.  We remain as God created us.  No one of us can be who we really are without the other.  Recognizing that we are one with each other is the return to the awareness of our wholeness.  In the changing of a thought we are transformed to the awareness of our true whole One Self, One with the whole of God.  It is silly, really, to think in any other way, because separated thinking is an error, a mistake.

But change comes miraculously in the instant we allow ourselves to think with the Mind of God.  It is the simple effort of letting go of our habitual way of thinking and being willing to allow the thoughts of God to come into our mind.  What a gift we give ourselves and each other when we let our thoughts from the Mind of God come forward into our awareness.  It is peaceful, it is joyous, and it is filled with love.

Love can never be divided.  We are either aware that we are the completeness of Love, or we have attempted to divide love into pieces and have thus blocked love from our awareness.  The attempt to make specialness is the attempt to divide love which cannot be divided.  We share the totalness of love with each other.  And we will only be aware of who we really are when we do recognize all of creation as One, undivided and whole.  We are as God created us and no one of us can ever be put asunder.  Be whole and let the treachery of specialness fade into nothingness where it is nothing.
