ACIM T-27.I The Picture of Crucifixion

May 31, 2011

Our function in this world is to show each other that sin is impossible, that sin has no cause. This is our base function. It takes many forms in this world, as many as there are ideas and thoughts. But it is our one underlying function in this world. To understand this function is important to understanding who we really are and what our purpose is.

The image we hold of ourselves, the picture we hold up for another to see is reflective of our understanding of our function. It is reflective of where our mind is at any given moment. The Holy Spirit’s picture of ourselves which we allow to be placed in our hands doesn’t change us in any way to something we are not. It merely removes all the mistaken ideas and purposes we have taken on over time. It removes us from our thoughts about past experiences and presents us with a new openness. Free of our attachment to the past, our mind is now free to choose again our purpose in this world.

In this place of openness are we free to allow Heaven to be remembered. Its peace comes and perfect healing can take the place of all our mistaken thoughts. We begin to reflect the idea of who we really are. There no longer is any pain and suffering, no sacrifice in our image of ourselves. Instead, innocence, love, and forgiveness radiate from our presence. The face of Christ shines from deep within us, revealing a new image to each one that they are whole and innocent, that they are no longer limited by their limited view of their own purpose. The picture we hold up shows them the same openness in them waiting for their mind to choose a new purpose in this world. A purpose that spawns healing in each and every mind.

This is simple. Let the body have no purpose from the past. Let it be free to receive a new purpose revealed by Spirit. As our function is revealed to us by Spirit and we release our idea of our body’s purpose, our true function and our body’s purpose become one. They are united in the awakening of our true Self and the awareness of who we really are. Allow Heaven to fill your being. Let the peace and love and joy of Heaven fill your mind. The radiance that shines from our faces will be the reflection of who we really are and the reflection of who each one we encounter really is. We celebrate each others’ wholeness and foster the healing of the world in this moment.
