We have given away our inherent power simply by believing we are at the mercy of the world. It may seem that we are vulnerable, frail and easily destroyed. But this is a direct result of our belief that has made this seem real. The world we seem to see is the result of our perceptions and we continually reinforce our perceptions until we decide we want to see something better. Perhaps we cannot change all the happenings in the world, but we can change our perception of them. The Course teaches us that we can see anything differently if we are willing to do so. Spirit promises us It will guide our perception to a more correct perception. But we must be willing to be guided by Spirit. Perhaps Spirit is our Higher Consciousness. There are many ways to see this. We have anchored ourselves in fear and it has become an immoveable anchor in a fearful world.
We are created One with our Source, Oneness, God, or what ever we might label the force behind Creation. This is a fact. We may have denied it to ourselves, but it is a changeless fact. Even as we denied this fact of reality, there is a plan for reawakening our awareness of our Oneness, our connection, our divine wholeness and the power that brings. We are meant to be in the awareness of Heaven on earth as we journey through this physical plain in human form. The Course teaches us to look beyond the appearance of the world we think we see to the real world that lies beyond it. A world of wholeness, completeness and limitlessness is there waiting for us to let the scales drop form our eyes to reveal the light beyond.
If you were one with God and recognized this oneness, you would know God’s power is yours. But you will not remember this while you believe attack of any kind means anything. It is unjustified in any form, because it has no meaning. The only way it could be justified is if you and another were separate from the other, and all were separate from your Creator. For only then would it be possible to attack a part of the creation without the whole, the Created without the Creator; and to attack another without yourself or hurt yourself without the other feeling pain. And this belief you want. Yet wherein lies its value, except in the desire to attack in safety? Attack is neither safe nor dangerous. It is impossible. And this is so because the universe is one. You would not choose attack on its reality if it were not essential to attack to see it separated from its maker. And thus it seems as if love could attack and become fearful. T-22.VI.12:1-12
Important to learn is that when we arrack another we attack ourselves and our Creator since we are all One. When we believe we are separate, we believe we can attack another and it doesn’t affect us. The opposite is true – when we attack another we attack ourselves and our Creator. Look beyond any attack and see the call for love that is its true message. This message may seem to be well disguised, but if we open our eyes we will see the real message behind it. We call out for love because we want to return to the awareness of the love within us we have denied. But while we deny it we cannot see it until we are willing to relinquish our denial. The ones we encounter on our journey are the ones we get to learn from and teach. These are the ones we get to see differently. These are the ones we take by the hand and step together into the reawakening of our mutual holiness.
This is the function of your holy relationship. For what one thinks, the other will experience with them. What can this mean except your mind and another’s are one? Look not with fear upon this happy fact, and think not that it lays a heavy burden on you. For when you have accepted it with gladness, you will realize that your relationship is a reflection of the union of the Creator and the Created. From loving minds there is no separation. And every thought in one brings gladness to the other because they are the same. Joy is unlimited, because each shining thought of love extends its being and creates more of itself. There is no difference anywhere in it, for every thought is like itself. T-22.VI.14:1-9
The light that joins us shines throughout the universe, and because it joins each of us and another, so it makes us one with our Creator. All creation is joined. Our relationship can also teach that the power of love is within us and our relationships which makes all fear impossible. This gift is given us to be used, and not denied or hidden. Let truth decide if you and the one you are in relationship with are separate or One, and let truth teach which is true. Let your thoughts and your actions in this world be guided by that within you that is One.
