ACIM T-27.VI The Witnesses To Sin

August 9, 2011

Miracles are given to take the place of our suffering and our fear. It matters not what form our suffering or our fear take. The miracle takes its place. A miracle can take many forms, that which is best suited to the situation of that it takes the place of. But a miracle is a constant, it has only one purpose and that is to take the place of whatever mistaken though is keeping us distracted for the awareness of who we are.

We have been discussing witnesses to sin or separation. The thoughts we have are the witnesses to the state of mind we are currently in. If we are thinking in a state of separation, we will experience some idea or though that reinforces the idea that we are separate. But if we allow Spirit to show us a different idea, we experience a miracle, the coming of an idea that witnesses to the truth about who we really are. The experience of our life is determined by the way we think, by the ideas we identify ourselves with. We do this because we are so used to it. It’s the way we taught to think about ourselves and build our identity in our mind. And we believe it wholly.

The problem with this way of thinking is that we have not taken the time to listen and look to Spirit for the truth about ourselves and each other. We have looked at all the symbols and witnesses that we have made up and believed them. We have believed suffering and fear and believed that those ideas are the truth about who we are. And then we don’t question them. The One who has the perfect miracle for us, wherever we are, is right there with us, waiting for us to take a step aside and allow ourselves to consider the idea it brings in the miracle. The miracle is the perfect replacement for whatever witness we believed. The miracle is a new witness, indeed that that witnesses to our true being, to the truth about who we really are.

Take a moment, step aside. Let g of your attachment to the witnesses to fear and suffering in you life. Spirit has a new witness that gently takes the place of the old witnesses. It shows us a new idea, a change of thought that attests to the truth of who we really are. The witness recognizes in us the One Child of God, the whole being God created and has never lost sight of. The holy instant comes through us in that moment and we are healed. And as we are healed, that healing extends to the whole world. God’s love, joy, and peace shine from our face and bathes the world in the light and love of God. All that is false, all that is illusion, all fear and suffering fade away in that moment. Believe what the miracle brings, and be healed in that instant. It is God’s will and so it is also yours.
