ACIM T-18.III Light In the Dream

August 22, 2017

When we made the decision to create our own identity, separate from reality, we began creating our waking dream.  We blocked all input from Spirit which would have interpreted our experiences by relying on our own egoic interpretation of events and experiences in our lives.  We made all our interpretations based on input from our interpretations of our past and our interpretations of others’ interpretations based on our past.  As interpretation piles upon interpretation, our perceived “reality” strays further and further from the truth and plunges deeper into darkness, blocking the awareness of the light and truth within us.  We use judgement based on our own egoic thought system rather than the wisdom of Spirit to make decisions.  Sunday’s Weekly Thought was:

Wisdom is not judgment; it is the relinquishment of judgment.
M-10.4:5

Wisdom rises to our awareness as we look within to Spirit’s guidance and release our attachment to all judgement.  The light within us is there as well and rises with wisdom.

Yet, we have made a choice to allow truth to come into our awareness.  We have made the choice to allow truth to be the goal of our relationships.  We have chosen healing over insanity.  As we release our hold on the beliefs and ideas that support separation, we find a new freedom peeking through the chaos we seem to see around us and in our minds.  Our waking dreams we have made take on a bit of that light and begin to shift.  As our waking dreams shift, so do our relationships shift as they begin healing.  The healing power of light begins to shine away all that keeps us separate from the awareness of who we really are.  We may be afraid of this awakening as we begin to experience it, but allow yourself to trust the Higher Holy Spirit Self within you to guide you.  There is peace and unconditional love there to be held and valued.  The joining together with each other and Spirit brings us into communion with the One we have never left.

You who hold another’s hand also hold mine, for when you joined each other you were not alone.  Do you believe that I would leave you in the darkness that you agreed to leave with me?  In your relationship is this world’s light.  And fear must disappear before you now.  Be tempted not to snatch away the gift of faith you offered to another.  You will succeed only in frightening yourself.  The gift is given forever, for the One received it.  You cannot take it back.  You have accepted the One.  The holiness of your relationship is established in Heaven.  You do not understand what you accepted, but remember that your understanding is not necessary.  All that was necessary was merely the wish to understand.  That wish was the desire to be holy.  The Will of the One is granted you.  For you desire the only thing you ever had, or ever were.   T-18.III.4:1-14

Take the step out of the darkness of your waking dreams.  Allow light to enter your waking dream as you turn your mind to Spirit’s guidance.  The light shining within you – hidden but never out – rises to your awareness and brings you to Oneness with each other and the One.  As the light enters your waking dream, peace also rises to your mind simply replacing your feeling of chaos in this world.  This is reality, the real world and the awareness of who you really are.  Let your light shine in your waking dream and find the real reality within you.  Just open your eyes that you may see.
