ACIM T-26.II Many Forms; One Correction

February 1, 2011

In our lives we seem to have many different problems. They are varied, take many forms, and seem to have different magnitudes. Some seem simple and some seem difficult, and some seem insurmountable. We see them this way because we look at them and try to resolve them from our perception of them. We see them the same way we see ourselves and each other, separate and not equal, imbued with some perception of loss that is involved with any solution or resolution. We try to solve each problem in a special way related to the form in which we see it. And we succeed in solving many of these problems in the form they take for us. But soon others creep up, taking another special form that we see in our own special way.

But we are missing the root problem. Our problems take many forms in this world, and we see them in relation to the way we see ourselves and our specialness. And all of these perceived problems seem to require some loss on someone’s part to be resolved. The root of our problems is that we think there is a lack in the world and that God is limited because we see ourselves as limited. Until we correct our perception of ourselves, each other, and the world we will never solve anything for all of time never to rise again.

If we are willing to let ourselves see a bit differently, we may find another way to resolve the problems we see. Our way of continuing on in our habitual separate way of thinking will only keep us in that mindset. But the Holy Spirit has said that it can solve any problem we have. We need only be willing to let it go and allow Spirit to show us a better way of thinking. All our problems stem from the belief in lack, loss, and a limited world which we project on ourselves and God. Once we allow Spirit to help us remove the belief in limitation, and foster a new belief in God’s abundance, we begin to see that our problems resolve.

We are so tied to perceiving all at the level of the world that we forget to look beyond to Spirit, to the essence of all that is real and transcends the world of form and illusion. Allow yourself to turn to Spirit and release your hold on the ideas and beliefs to which you are so attached. Spirit has held for us all that we really are, waiting for us to be ready to lay aside our mistaken thoughts and remember who we really are. We are the One Holy Child of God, always One with God and each other and inseparable form All. The realization of this Truth is our salvation and the release from any form of problem we encounter.
