ACIM T-23.Introduction

February 9, 2010

God’s promise to us is; we who walk in peace travel sinlessly along the way love shows us.  For love walks with us there, protecting us from fear.  And we will see only the sinless, which cannot attack.  How beautiful and wonderful!  But do we feel that way?  More times than not the answer is no.  We often feel like we are at war with ourselves and hopelessly caught up in that war.

Innocence and sinlessness are strength.  They cannot be attacked or changed at all.  And Oneness cannot be divided.  But we have gotten some mistaken notion that we are weak and therefore need defense.  We think we must attack that which we think is separate from us.  We think we must attack it because we believe whatever it is will hurt or destroy us.  But we are as we always are, whole, innocent and One with God and all of creation.  So we are attacking and defending ourselves against the illusions we made up.  No wonder we feel like we are at war with ourselves.

Our belief in enemies is our belief in our own weakness and that belief is what separates us from the awareness of who we really are and the Will of God, our own will.  As we let go of our beliefs about ourselves and others and our attachment to those beliefs, we allow the real Self within us to come forth, and recognize the Divine presence that dwells within us.  It is a presence that fills us with peace, love, and joy.  It is a presence that rejoices at all that God offers us.  We celebrate the reuniting of the awareness of the realm of God that was never actually divided.

God gives us a world of freedom.  Let not your little interfering thoughts pull you back to littleness.  We are not little.  We are the grand creation of God and so we are One with all that is.  Nothing can change this.  Nothing can take this away from us.  Only our little thoughts attempt to distract us from the awareness of what is real, what is God.  In the realm of God nothing can separate us from the divinity that dwells within us.  Let it well up, spill over, and shine with all the brilliant light of God’s glory.  This is who we are.  Be at war with yourself no more
