We are essential. We are essential to Heaven. We are essential to the awareness of love and peace. We are essential to wholeness and completion. We are essential as is the one we journey with at any given moment. We are both essential together. Reality is not complete without both of us. We are essential for the One – Source – to be complete. Be assured, we are there in Oneness. Reality is complete for we are an integral part of reality. Yet, we are unaware of reality when we deny our part in it. When we deny our Oneness and thus our reality, the world appears as chaos. It appears hateful, lacking love and lacking peace. The test is whether or not we recognize each other as One with us or separate from us. In reality we are joined, forever inseparable. There is limitless blessing in that realization.
Before your friend’s holiness the world is still, and peace descends on it in gentleness and blessing so complete that not one trace of conflict still remains to haunt you in the darkness of the night. Your friend is your savior from the dreams of fear. Your friend is the healing of your sense of sacrifice and fear that what you have will scatter with the wind and turn to dust. In them is your assurance Source is here, and with you now. While they are what they are, you can be sure that Source is knowable and will be known to you. For the One could never leave Its Own creation. And the sign that this is so lies in your friend, offered you that all your doubts about yourself may disappear before their holiness. See in them the One’s creation. For in them their Creator waits for your acknowledgment that your Creator created you as part of Oneness. T-24.VI.1:1-9
Our Creator – Source – has given us all that is and ever was or ever will be, no exceptions. Nothing is withheld from us for we are all One with Source. The whole universe is ours in Oneness and love. All Creation is laid before us lovingly, and is ours forever. Every Thought within the One’s Mind is also in our own mind. The One shares perfect Love for us and looks upon us as lovingly as we were conceived of before the world began, and as we are still. No condition in this world can change the reality of who we are and how the One loves us. And our friend is as our Creator created them. This is what saves us from a world that is not real.
Look on your friend, and behold in them the whole reversal of the laws that seem to rule this world. See in their freedom yours, for such it is. Let not their specialness obscure the truth in them, for not one law of death you bind them to will you escape. And not one sin you see in them but keeps you both in hell. Yet will their perfect sinlessness release you both, for holiness is quite impartial, with one judgment made for all it looks upon. And that is made, not of itself, but through the Voice that speaks for Oneness in everything that lives and shares Oneness’ Being. T-24.VI.5:1-6
The ones we encounter on this journey – back to the awareness of who we really are – are our saviors. They are showing us the way, pointing our misperceptions simply to allow us to recognize and correct them. Let the light and love in them speak to you. Look beyond the appearance of their shortcomings to the reality beyond that communicates love and peace. We are One with them. They are our teachers. And, we are their teachers. The Course teaches us to teach only love. Do so, but learn only love, too. Love is all there is. Peace comes from sharing love, for giving and receiving love are the same. Rest in the infinite Source of Love that can only increase. Be that infinite unconditional love for all the world, for that is what we are.
