ACIM T-28.I The Present Memory

September 20, 2011

In a separated state of mind we cannot recognize the Truth about ourselves and who we really are. Separation and Oneness are incongruous. The two ideas cannot coexist in the mind. Therefore we are either in a state of separated mind or a state of Oneness mind. It is our choice which state of mind we are in at this or any moment. So at any given moment we choose whether to conceal from ourselves and others the Truth about ourselves, or not. What a mad insane choice this is.

The Truth about us is that we are always One with God and all Creation. That is unchangeable. But we do choose which state of mind we are in at any moment. And we often choose separation. How we think is evidence of what state or mind is in. Do we experience fear, hate, anger, guilt, anxiousness, loneliness, or frustration? These are all experiences of a mind’s state of separation. Yet within us is the capacity to experience peace, love, compassion, and joy.

Within us is the knowledge of who we really are, buried deep behind all the barriers we have placed between our state of mind and the awareness of our true Self. Spirit holds deep within us the awareness of the Truth about ourselves. Yet we are so invested in our concept of our past that we fail to see that Truth shining right before our very eyes. We tend to see our past experiences as the cause of our lives and so find ourselves helpless to do anything about where we are now. But Spirit holds for us the true cause of our state of mind, the thoughts we can change about our past and begin to see that our past is the effect rather than the cause of our state of mind.

Spirit holds for us the ancient memory of a true Cause, and unchangeable Cause deep within our true being and the Mind of God of which we are One. In a moment when we allow ourselves to become still and quiet Spirit rises to our awareness and gives us a new idea, a new thought, that resonates with the Truth in us. We find peace and joy washing through us and the remembering of who we really are. All we have carried with us begins to drop away and new meaning comes to that which we allow Spirit to give us a new meaning. All this is part of Spirit’s leading us into the miracle, the healing, the correction of our perception guided by the Divine within all of us. Be still for a moment. In the stillness allow Spirit to show us a /new perception, a new vision. And let the awareness of who we really are wash over and through you. In this moment Heaven is.
