ACIM T.25.II The Savior from the Dark

September 17, 2019

We return to Section II this week. I am touched by the great love that is communicated in this passage. Our Creator’s magnificent creation is given us to show we are also our Creator’s magnificent creation. Our brother, our sister, the One we are with right now is our savior. Their purpose in this world is to show us our magnificence as our purpose is to show another their magnificence. It’s not so much to “show”, but to recognize. We are here to recognize the holiness in each other. We are here to recognize each other’s wholeness, completeness, limitlessness and purity. We are here to recognize who we really are by recognizing who another is. Our essence is light, love, peace and joy. The recognition is not physical or anything that can be seen with the body’s eyes. It is of the mind. It is beyond the appearance of the body.

The shift in our mind is reflected in our relationships. This is where we begin. We can choose to see those we are in relationship with differently. Once we decide to be willing to see holiness in another rather than their “sins”, we allow our mind to shift from the little separated mind we identified as “me” to the One Mind we all are. We allow the Grace of our Creator to flow within and through us as It joins us all in Oneness. As we allow this transformation to manifest within and around us, we open to the fullness of the magnificence of our true Self in Oneness. All that seemed to limit us and keep us captive suddenly releases us into the freedom of Oneness. We may – for a time – waffle in and out of this awareness, but we are learning to accept something heavenly about ourselves we had been denying all our lives.

Where do we begin? Forgiveness. Just a little willingness to forgive ourselves and each other. Forgiveness means we recognize another’s true nature – their holiness. Accepting that our true Self can’t be harmed in reality. This world is an opportunity to let go of the attack and suffering we decided was our plight and see differently, beginning to see the holiness and divine purpose in everything we see.

Forgive your friend, and you cannot separate yourself from them nor from their Creator. You need no forgiveness, for the wholly pure have never sinned. Give, then, what Source has given you, that you may see this One Child as one, and thank their Creator as the Creator thanks you. Nor believe that all the Creator’s praise is given not to you. For what you give is your Creator’s, and giving it, you learn to understand your Creator’s gift to you. And give the Holy Spirit what It offers unto the Creator and the One Child alike. Nothing has power over you except the Creator’s Will and yours, which but extends the Creator’s Will. It was for this you were created, and your friend with you and at one with you.   T-25.II.10:1-8

Open your eyes and ears, not your body’s, but your Spirit’s. Hear the ancient song that reminds you of who you are and always have been. Your holiness resonates here. There is no more doubt. We recognize who we really are as we recognize who our friend really is. The Great Rays of Light that radiate from all that is holy shine away any remaining darkness. Let the darkness go. And when we find ourselves in darkness again, turn to your friend again and allow the Great Rays to shine on the magnificence of who you and you friend really are. Heaven will be revealed in all the world as we allow it to be transformed in the awareness of who we really are.
