ACIM T-I9.IV The Obstacles To Peace

April 17, 2018

We hang the darkened veil of our mistaken perception between our mind and peace. This veil obscures our view of reality. It obscures our view of love and joy. It is the obstacle to peace we can choose to push aside so easily if we are just a little willing to allow Spirit into our perception. As we allow Spirit to guide our minds, the darkened and heavy veil fades into nothingness before our very eyes to reveal light, laughter and love within and around us. The awareness of our divine nature reveals itself in Oneness with each other. We find it possible and even easy to relax into the awareness of who we really are right now in this holy instant. Peace will flow across this seemingly insurmountable obstacle with ease and grace, bringing the awareness of eternal reality to our minds.

It seems to you the world will utterly abandon you if you but raise your eyes. Yet all that will occur is you will leave the world forever. This is the re-establishment of your will. Look upon it, open-eyed, and you will nevermore believe that you are at the mercy of things beyond you, forces you cannot control, and thoughts that come to you against your will. It is your will to look on this. No mad desire, no trivial impulse to forget again, no stab of fear nor the cold sweat of seeming death can stand against your will. For what attracts you from beyond the veil is also deep within you, unseparated from it and completely one.   T-19.IV.D.7:1-7

It is time to lift the veil. It is time to look beyond the veil and see peace, allowing peace to flow across this obstacle that is now reduced to nothing. Join in Oneness with the Ones who travel with you on this journey back to the awareness of who you really are. We are all in this together and will all complete the journey together, for we are all One. The appearance of separation is no more as we join together in Unity as our true Identity. Our egoic thought system has not led us to this desire to awaken. The light and Spirit within us has led us to this place where we realize there has got to be a better way. Our Higher Holy Spirit Self has called us to awaken our mind to the Divine nature we are and have always been. This is the call we have heard and chosen to accept for ourselves and each other.

Stand you here a while and tremble not. You will be ready. Let us join together in a holy instant, here in this place where the purpose, given in a holy instant, has led you. And let us join in faith that the One Who brought us here together will offer you the innocence you need, and that you will accept it for my love and the One’s.   T-19.IV.D.9:4-7

Take a step back. Observe this holy instant and recognize its power. All that is not real has faded away just for this moment. This instant is pure, holy, complete and infinite in its reality. Welcome this instant and simply allow it to be. Rest in this “now” moment. It reveals to you all that is true. We can allow ourselves to return here any time we find ourselves caught up in the absence of peace. In this holy instant we are home. The presence of peace within us is all encompassing – it is total. Let Spirit within put into perspective your purpose. Accept this purpose as Spirit reveals it to you. Peace will flow like a river as peace rises in you.
