Over the course of our lives we have been receiving messages of healing from Spirit and each other. We may not have understood these messages, but they have spoken to us on a different level. Viewing the world from our egoic thought system invested in separation we do not see or understand reality. And we do not seem to understand real communication at the level of truth because our attachment to separation blocks communication from our awareness. Yet, truth and understanding and communication are present within us. The Course tells us we must become as little children to begin the journey back to the awareness of who we really are.

So in each holy relationship is the ability to communicate instead of separate reborn. Yet a holy relationship, so recently reborn itself from an unholy relationship, and yet more ancient than the old illusion it has replaced, is like a baby now in its rebirth. Still in this infant is your vision returned to you, and this infant will speak the language you can understand. This infant is not nurtured by the “something else” you thought was you. This infant was not given there, nor was received by anything except yourself. For no two people can unite except through Christ, Whose vision sees them one.   T-22.I.7:1-6

This child will teach us what we do not understand and make it plain. For this child will speak the ancient language within us. This child will need no interpreter to us, for it was we who taught them what they know because we knew it. They could not come to anyone but us, never to “something else.” Where Christ has entered no one is alone, for this child could never find a home in those who believe they are separate. We must be reborn into our ancient home, seeming new and yet as old as Creation, a tiny newcomer, dependent on the holiness of our relationship to let Them live.

Communication must have been restored to us as we join, for we could not do this through our bodies. What has joined us? Reason will tell us that we must have seen each other through a vision not of the body, and communicated in a language the body does not speak. Nor could it be a fearful sight or sound that drew us gently into joining as one. Rather, we saw in each other a perfect shelter where our Self could be reborn in safety and in peace. Our reason tells us this; we believe because it is the truth.

Here is the first direct perception that you can make. You make it through awareness older than perception, and yet reborn in just an instant. For what is time to what was always so? Think what that instant brought; the recognition that the “something else” you thought was you is an illusion. And truth came instantly, to show you where your Self must be. It is denial of illusions that calls on truth, for to deny illusions is to recognize that fear is meaningless. Into the holy home where fear is powerless love enters thankfully, grateful that it is one with you who joined to let it enter.   T-22.I.10:1-7

Open your mind to the holiness that is already within you. As we allow the little child within us to teach us and remind us of the ancient holiness we are, we will begin to understand what we have blocked form our awareness. We will understand the ancient language of our holy relationship and understand truth once again. The path to healing our relationships is already deep within us waiting for us to open ourselves to the massages we want to hear and understand. Communication, not of the body, but of Spirit is ready for us to accept and embrace. Allow that little child to rise in you and learn.

We are often at cross purposes with ourselves. This seems impossible and one might even think it insane, but we do engage in insanity when we lose sight of who we really are and identify with the idea of separation. The Course has taught us we are holy and divine as we are created. We are whole and complete. We are peace and love embodied in this world. Yet our actions and beliefs contradict who we really are. We already have everything we need, yet we believe we lack. We listen to our egoic thought system only because it is louder and supports our misconception of who we are. We have the capacity to Reason correctly. We have the capacity to see with the eyes of our One Mind rather than the body’s eyes. What will it take for us to make the shift to rely on the holy guidance within us?

Your sight was given you, along with everything that you can understand. You will perceive no difficulty in understanding what this vision tells you, for everyone sees only what they think they are. And what your sight would show you, you will understand because it is the truth. Only your vision can convey to you what you can see. It reaches you directly, without a need to be interpreted to you. What needs interpretation must be alien. Nor will it ever be made understandable by an interpreter you cannot understand.   T-22.I.5:1-7

We have become so attached to the ways we have always seen the world in this lifetime that we have blinded ourselves to reason and reality. We have blocked our awareness of the free flow of communication between ourselves and Source and each other. Communication still flows freely, but we have ignored it for so long we have become impervious to it. This free flow of communication is a part of our holy relationships with each other. The natural state of our relationships is holy – nothing else. Anything less than holiness is made up, manufactured by the distorted beliefs of our egoic thought system that is invested in perpetuation separation.

It’s time to let go of the desire for separateness. It does not serve us well. Joining ourselves in Oneness is the return to the awareness of our true being. True lasting joy and peace are there in the awareness of Oneness. We start the return journey to our awareness of this bliss with a simple willingness to be guided there by the reason and knowledge within us. Spirit within us is ready and waiting to guide us there. We will make mistakes along the way, but the reality of who we really are and the willingness to return to that awareness will always bring us back to focus on the reality of who we are. Take a moment to forgive yourself. There’s no need to berate or punish yourself for past mistakes. They are over. They are done and in the past. They have no place in the present where we are now. Let the past be past and step into the awareness of the present moment where we are as we are and always have been. Allow your relationships to be transformed into the holy relationships they are. The world will be transformed as we allow our relationships to be transformed. We will begin to see a new understanding in our restored awareness. Choose your reawakening and know each other as you really are.
