The Truth about us is that we are all One. We are as God created us. There is no separation. We are whole, innocent, limitless, and free, and cannot be otherwise; just as God created us. Yet we insist on seeing ourselves as separate. We identify as the bodies we made and built a life around and reinforce that idea over and over again until we just can’t see any other way to identify ourselves. We also reinforce each other’s mistaken idea that they are separate. We repeatedly reinforce each other’s dream of separation with each passing thought in our minds.

But we need not perpetuate the dream. It is in our power to make the choice to change our mind and change our belief that we are at the mercy of the dream of separation we dream. Once we accept the idea that we have chosen what we believe, we know that the dream can be changed. It can be changed because the dream is nothing more than our thoughts and judgments about the events and experiences in our lives. Spirit is poised in our minds, ready with a new gentler and happier dream to replace the dreams we have believed real, but now realize are merely thought. Step by step Spirit places the miracle of healing in our mind through a new dream, bringing our thoughts and dreams closer and closer to spiritual awakening.

The gift we give each other is our own awakening, for when we let go of our own dreams, we release another from the bonds and mistaken ideas of our own dreams. We set them free. In doing so, we no longer support their dreams and mistaken ideas of separation they have believed in so strongly. They can’t help but move into healing for there is nothing else to move in to. The gap that seems to appear between our bodies is now vacant. We have stopped filling the gap wit all our mistaken ideas about ourselves and each other. Spirit steps in to bridge that apparent gap, bringing the experience of our Oneness to us, bringing to our minds the awareness of who we really are.

The healing of our minds is the transformation of our awareness. This awareness transcends the appearance of separation in the bodies we have identified as. And we continue in this world and in this life we have made, experiencing the peace, love, and joy of the Oneness of our minds while extending that peace, love, and joy to each other in this world. Ad we extend the experience of awareness to each other in our daily lives, we bring the miracle of healing, the call to awaken, to each and every One we encounter. It is simple. Just Be who you really are.

We have been talking about the concept that our so called life as we understand it is like a dream which occurs while we are spiritually asleep. It is a dream, because it is not real. It consists only of our ideas and thoughts and judgments about everything we have ever experienced in this world. It is founded in the idea that we are each separate, and each acting independently and autonomously, and not in control of what happens to us. Our goal is to spiritually waken from the dream, to understand that all our ideas founded in the idea we are each separate are mistaken because we are not understanding who we really are. The awakening begins when we accept the idea that we are in a dream, and there is a better way to think.

Once we begin to accept the idea that we are not what we think we see in our dreams, that we are whole and as God created us, we cannot give support to another’s dream of separation. This means we do not share another’s wish to separate nor turn their illusions on themselves or us. And so we are free of another’s illusion because we let them be, knowing they are not the dream they are caught up in. We always have the choice whether or not to become involved in another’s dream of separation. If we join them in their dream, we are adding our own dream of separation to theirs, and sinking into our own dream.

We are given a way to find certainty in a world seemingly filled with dreams. Spirit has provided us this gift, this way of being in the world we live in right now. We simply refuse to be a part of any fearful dream another dreams. Take a step apart from the dream while remaining with the one who is dreaming. In taking this step, we separate the dreamer from the dream; joining with the mind of the one and letting go of the dream. In doing this we join with another’s true self and let go of all the illusions they have dreamt and are dreaming. In this way we share their holy mind which is one with our holy mind and realize our Oneness. This is possible and certain even when another remains in their dreams of separation and refuses to awaken. The dreaming is no more than illusion and so cannot be real, and is easily overlooked. And let go by one who seeks the truth of who we really are.

The greater joining of the minds who thought they were separate is a miracle that possible from each of us, no matter what the thoughts of anyone else. No one else must think differently for each of us to change our mind, our way of thinking. Once we accept that we think with the Mind of God, we need no change in the world, no change in any other one’s way of thinking to be in the joining of minds. We can now think of another as a mind in which illusions still persist, yet who is already joined with ours. The little gap that seems to be there to another has already vanished in the minds that have joined together. Be certain that if we each do our part the other will join us there where we stand joined. Remain standing in the joining, for we cannot do another’s part, but we can be a passive figure in another’s dream as they begin to awaken.

We are spiritually asleep, and we are dreaming our human life. Our dream is in our minds, for it is comprised of all our thoughts and ideas about our experiences in this existence we call “life.” In this life we appear to be separate because we have agreed to see ourselves as separate. If you and I are really One, we cannot appear separate unless we agree that we are separate. If one of us does not see the other as separate, and we really are One, we cannot be separate even if one of us still believes we are separate. When we both believe we are separate, we support each other’s dream and we thus appear separate.

Our concern right now is not the end of the dream, for that is beyond our mind’s comprehension at this moment. Our concern is merely with this moment, with the acceptance of the miracle, with the acceptance of the idea we dreamed our dream of separation and we can allow another dream to take its place. Or concern is to accept the new dream Spirit gives us as we open ourselves to Spirit’s guidance. Our concern is to support this new dream, to support this change; refraining from adding our own dreams of fear to the new one Spirit has given us. Our support of this miracle, the new dream is what will strengthen it and us.

In Reality, in Truth, we are One, we are whole, we are innocent, and we are as God created us, unchangeable and inseparable. But we have mistakenly perceived ourselves differently. We have descended the ladder the idea of separation led us down. Now Spirit gives us new dreams of ascending that ladder again. Each step reawakens us a bit more. The gap between you and I is no gap at all, but is an idea we agreed to in our dreams of separation. We believed those dreams and so the gap appears real and sometimes very wide and bottomless. It is our wish to keep apart that makes this gap appear real, that makes it appear so wide.

A wish to join is a shift in thought that reverses our direction, that corrects our mistake. It is an idea that accepts the miracle of healing and the new dream Spirit offers us. It is the opening, the little willingness that allows Spirit’s dream to fill our mind, healing it from the sickness of the idea of separation. Love swiftly flows in, filling the void left by our mistaken ideas we have let go of. And each time we let go of some mistaken idea and Spirit replace it, love flows in again to fill the void. And the old dream is nothing more than a ship passing in the night, leaving no trace of the illusion of separation behind. Let Spirit gently guide the ascent to the reawakening of our true mind, the Mind of God. This is Heaven, our home where we belong.

If we can accept that we are the dreamer of the life we think we see as our life, we can perceive at least this: that we have caused this dream and can accept another dream just as well in its place. This is the place where change can occur. This is the willingness that gives Spirit the opportunity to show us something different, something new, something better, something that changes the way we look at and perceive our lives. No matter what the content of our dream, it must be realized that it is each of us that dreams the dreaming we don’t like. It is our perception, what we think of all our experiences that comprises our dream that we mistake for our lives.

What we think about our lives is, for each of us, the effect that we have caused by our mistaken idea that we are not dreaming and the dream is real. This turns the world on its head, and upside down world. We move along in our dream state, not realizing that we are spiritually asleep and thus believing the dream we dreamed. We easily understand that when we dream while physically asleep, the dream is not real. But we have hidden from our awareness that the waking life we are living is a dream we are having while spiritually asleep. Just like the sleeping dreams we have, this waking dream seems so very vivid and real. So while spiritually asleep we think it is real!

We often feel ourselves the victim of our dreams. This is the effect that cannot be, for the idea of victim is born of dreaming. An effect (dream) cannot cause an effect Victim). And, a dream cannot cause anyone to be a victim or anything else real. Realizing that we are the dreamer and the dream can be changed is the shift in thought, the change of mind that is the miracle. This miracle opens the door to a different interpretation of the world we see. It opens the door to a new perception. It opens the door to Spirit to show us a new way of perceiving and interpreting our experiences. It frees us from the bonds of our rigid ideas and thinking. It is our salvation.

Allow the miracle of the knowing we are the dreamer and the dream can be changed enter your mind. Spirit is there waiting to awaken us just the perfect way for each of us. The new dream well then lead us to another dream and another, each with a heightened sense of awakening and the awareness of who we really are. Let the miracle in and let your mind be changed. And know the truth about who you really are, One with God and all creation.
