ACIM T-22.I The Message of the Holy Relationship

October 27, 2009

We have all come up, over time, with some idea of who we are.  This identity is based on our interpretation of every experience we have ever had.  It is based on what we have been told.  It is based on what we have “figured out” about ourselves.  And after all that effort of figuring and analyzing, it still doesn’t feel right.  It doesn’t make sense.  Or perhaps it almost but not quite makes sense.  And if we look too hard, we know we will find that very little of what we have figured out makes any sense at all.

All of this has been made from our trying to make sense out of a world that is made of illusion.  The world we think we see is made up of our interpretation of our thoughts about our experiences whether we thought them or were told or taught them.  They have no basis in Truth.  We have looked with our body’s eyes, the eyes of the impermanent body that is born of separation, not recognizing our true place in Oneness.  And so we continue seeing with the body’s eyes, and seeing only what eyes made of separation and illusion can see; separation ad illusion!

No wonder we are confused.  Our true Self is not of separation, so it cannot understand thoughts and interpretations of separation.  But it can understand Oneness. Our true Self can understand what is real and True.  It can understand what our God-given vision shows us.  When we let ourselves see with eyes of vision we need not figure anything out.  We need not interpret anything.  For what is of God and Truth and of our true selves resonates deep within our being.  We recognize it as the Truth we have always known.  We recognize the Self that is who we really are and have always been, just as God created us.  It is our eternal Self, One with each other and God that has always been, has never not been. As we relax, let go of our self made ideas and let Gods vision come to us, we discover a freedom, a sense of wholeness, an innocence, a knowing and an understanding of all holiness and love.  We feel the peace of God well up from deep within us and let the love and light that shines within us extend so brightly to all the world for it to see.  We will know that all the world is a part of us, whole, innocent, free, and loved.  The love of God is poured freely to all the world.  All we need do is recognize and accept it.  Let your sight be transformed to vision and recognize God’s realm of Heaven before you.  Heaven is for us now, not in some distant future.  Step over the threshold and be who you really are!
