ACIM T-30.II Freedom of Will

abstract background withe sea sunriseJanuary 31, 2012

Freedom is the height of what we really want and desire. But we have a confused idea of what freedom is. Much of our idea of freedom is actually limitation. So we become bound by what we think freedom is. Ultimate freedom is to be completely surrendered to and immersed in the limitless abundance of all God has given us…everything, all there is ever was, and ever will be. This abandon is characterized by the experience of limitless and unconditional love, peace, and joy! We are one with God, inseparable as we are created by God. All that God is is all that we are.

But we tend to separate ourselves from that freedom. We put limits on our perception of who we are and judge each other to be less than who we are. Our will is the Will of God, yet we choose to be apart from our will and choose to fear each other or part of God. The fear we think is really what separates us from our freedom, because we don’t see clearly. What we see and perceive is mistaken. We see each other and the world as of through a fog or a veil, obscuring the reality of what we are looking at.

We already have the eyes of Spirit, of higher understanding. But we have obscured that vision with fear and lack of trust. We have decided to trust our limited perception guided by a split mind, disconnected from God, rather than the Mind of God and Spirit that dwells within us. Opposing God’s Will is actually opposing our own True Will. Is it any wonder we experience fear? We are pushing ourselves away from our true self, from the knowing we know deep within us that comes from Truth. This Truth has always been with us. We co-created it with God. We have always been that creation. And Spirit within us, always there is there reminding us of who we really are every moment of every hour. Stop a moment, step back from whatever thought or decision we are facing. Ask Skirt fro guidance in whatever se are facing. Be it major or trivial, ask. The answer will come. The knowing will well up from deep within. And you will find a deep peace in that answer. Let yourself experience the freedom of will, beyond the idols of your own separated thoughts.
