ACIM T-29.I The Closing of the Gap

November 22, 2011

The Love of God, the love of Spirit is all encompassing. It is in all of creation and extends to all of creation, connecting what is already One in Oneness. Fear is not and cannot ever be in the presence of Love. Fear, an illusion, can only distract us from Love, which is real. In this way we create a small gap between us and another, usually a gap we think of as a “safety” through which we think we can escape from something not real, not of Love. Spirit asks us to recognize we made the gap and to let it disappear, since we realize we made it up in the first place.

We think because we have manifested as a body in this world that our minds are not joined. Nothing is further from the truth. The Mind of God cannot be divided. For if the Mind of God be divided, God’s promise would be broken, and healing would be impossible. The body is neither one nor separate. It is the playground of our learning. It is the vehicle through which we learn who we really are and learn we really are One with each other. Our daily encounters with each other are each a lesson to learn we are joined with that one, with each other. Each of us is the essence of Love and of the Divine. We are created thus. And that Love is all powerful. When we allow ourselves to believe this Truth, we realize the truth about the world and about all of creation. We experience the blessing and peace and joy of our true nature, our true state of being, our Divine Self as One.

In this season of Thanksgiving we often set aside much of our misperception about each other and reach out to help others in a loving way. Allow yourself to go a bit deeper this year. Allow yourself to join with each one in the Mind of the Divine in each other. Set each other free of the limits we have burdened them with in our thoughts. Allow the extension of Love to close the little gap we have left between us. There is no need for escape, for there is no danger. We have nothing to fear from one another except the Love of Spirit. And there is no fear in the Love of Spirit, for the love of Spirit eclipses all that cannot be. Let Spirit and Oneness rise today. Let gratitude flood each of us with the love, joy, and peace of the Divine Presence we are today. I thank you for being One with me and all of Creation in this season. And I invite you to join with me in carrying that joining into each and every day to come. Happy Thanksgiving!
