ACIM T-22.I Salvation and the Holy Relationship

December 1, 2009

Our journey may seem uncertain. All we encounter may seem unstable and inconsistent.  But one thing is always certain in this world.  The end of our journey is certain.  It is certain that we will reach the end of it and arrive at the goal.  It is guaranteed that it is so by God.  God wills us to succeed.  And because God guarantees it, it cannot fail.  We will reach the end.  We will return to the awareness of who we really are.  We will remember ourselves One with God and all of creation.

What a wonderful promise this is that God gives us.  We cannot fail.  We do, however, choose what we place our belief and awareness in.  We choose whether to Be in the Realm of God or to be oblivious to our presence there.  We continually cycle between forgetting our true essence and remembering who we really are.  And so we move back and forth from one to the other in an ever changing insane world that appears so uncertain.

Yet God has given us so much to help us along the way.  God’s goal for us is a successful return as soon as we are willing to return.  But it’s our choice and ours alone.  The world we choose to see and believe in is the one we will live in whether reality or illusion.  Our brothers and sisters are here at every step of the way, waiting for us to recognize them as who they really are.  Waiting for each of us to set all of us free.  And we set all of us free by recognizing who we really are; by remembering that we are the One Child of God, One with God and all of creation.  However, we don’t even recognize them for who they are because we are so caught up in our own illusion of our thought.

Now we rise above our habitual thought.  We transcend to the One Thought of God, present in the One Mind of God we all share.  What a peace and joy comes over us!  We wonder how we could have ever thought differently.  But that doesn’t even matter now, because it fades to nothingness in the presence of our true nature.  It fades away in the knowledge of what is true and real.  And when we again forget it, we remember again and more willingly let go of all else and return to the awareness of who we really are, One.  Let it be so.
