ACIM T-22.III Reason and the Forms of Error

January 12, 2010

Our errors take many forms.  There really is only one error, but that error can take any form that we can dream up.  Some are quite creative, some rather ordinary.  But we are always coming up with new forms for our one error.  What is our error?  It is merely an incorrect thought.  It is the mistaken idea that we are anything other than who and what we are.  It is the mistaken idea that we are separate from God.  We have hidden our awareness of our true Self, our true nature.

As we journey through our life which we think we are on alone, we see many blocks and challenges that we encounter along the way.  We may think others place these in our way.  We may think God presents us with challenges along the way.  Or we may think they just happen arbitrarily.  Our understanding of anything we encounter is completely based on every past experience we have had in this “life” separated  from God and each other.  And so we encounter each and deal with it as we are accustomed to doing.

In truth, there is nothing arbitrary about where we are or what we have encountered.  Every decision we have ever made in combination with every decision everyone else has ever made has brought us to where we are and the experience we are having in this moment, now.  There is no judgment in that fact; it just is where we are now.  We see with the perception we understand right now.  But God has given us another way of seeing and understanding.  It has always been available to us and the Holy Spirit has been holding it at the ready for us to let it come to our awareness.

Reason, which is the ability to see and understand with Spirit’s vision is the gift that Spirit holds for us.  It is an ability that is carried within the depths of our being.  It is part of our Divine nature.  Reason can show us the understanding we need to understand that whatever block or challenge we encounter can be seen differently.  It shows us that the many forms of blocks we see are really a mistaken idea that is no more than an error.  Seeing that thought as a correctable error is the understanding that allows it to melt away into nothingness and a new understanding of our own Divine nature to come flooding forward into our awareness.  We understand that we are One with God.  We understand that all of creation operates under Divine principles and laws.  And we see the holiness that is our destiny come forward and carry us through our life experience with a new understanding. Such is the life of the One Holy Child of God.  Allow yourself to be who you really are.  Reason will show you the understanding you need.
