ACIM T-13.XI The Peace of Heaven

The One, our Creator, wills us be in Heaven – Peace of Mind. We are already and have always been in Heaven. Having faith in this one thing is sufficient to allow Spirit to bring the state of Heaven – which we are in – to our awareness. Having faith in this one idea, believing this one idea, is all we really need do to shift our awareness and remember who we really are. Spirit – our Higher Holy Spirit Self – is waiting within us to raise our mind to the awareness of our true nature, our true essence, our true state of being. Everything that comes our way, every encounter, every experience, every thought, is an opportunity to learn a lesson that will bring us closer to the awareness of who we really are, to Heaven. It’s our choice what we have faith in. It’s our choice what we believe. Spirit is given us to help us test our faith and beliefs to discern what is real and what is not. If we are believing something that is mistaken, we need simply release our attachment to that belief and allow Spirit to guide us to the truth. The choice is between sanity and insanity. What would we choose?

Our true mind contains a communication link with the One that was placed there in our creation. This communication link can never be broken. We may believe it’s been broken or even that it never existed. This mistaken belief interferes with the deep peace in which the sweet communication the One shares with us is known. The channels of Peace reaching out cannot be wholly closed. Peace is ours because Peace still flows from our Source whose Will is Peace. We have Peace now. Nothing can change that fact. Spirit teaches us to use this Peace within us by extending it to learn that it is within us. There is no chance that Peace and Heaven are not ours. This is sure. We can rest assured in this.

We will learn what we need and who we are by sharing with others what they need and who they are. We then see the same truth we see in others in ourselves. And we will know it is true by the peace of heaven we feel as we share this truth. This is the grace of the One. Truth flows gracefully as we allow peace to rise up in us. Awaken to yourself as you awaken to each other. Awaken to the communication that flows within our minds. The call is there within our minds waiting for us to awaken to It. The Course askes us this:

Can we lose ourselves in dreams, when the One has placed within us the glad Call to waken and be glad? We cannot separate ourselves from what is in us. Our sleep will not withstand the Call to wake. The mission of redemption will be fulfilled as surely as the creation will remain unchanged throughout eternity. We do not have to know that Heaven is ours to make it so. It is so. Yet to know it, the Will of the One must be accepted as our will.   T-13.XI.10.1-6

Are we ready to accept the Peace we are? Are we ready to accept that we are in Heaven? Will we reconcile our mistaken beliefs about ourselves with the truth about who we really are? This great release is ours for the accepting. We needn’t worry about the mechanics of this mind shift. Spirit will guide this shift with great skill and gentleness. Spirits plan for our release will be and is perfectly accomplished. We will be and are released to the awareness of our One Holly Self of which we all are, joined in Oneness. We are released to the awareness of the peace of Heaven within us. Be and rest in that Peace.
