We are spiritually asleep, and we are dreaming our human life. Our dream is in our minds, for it is comprised of all our thoughts and ideas about our experiences in this existence we call “life.” In this life we appear to be separate because we have agreed to see ourselves as separate. If you and I are really One, we cannot appear separate unless we agree that we are separate. If one of us does not see the other as separate, and we really are One, we cannot be separate even if one of us still believes we are separate. When we both believe we are separate, we support each other’s dream and we thus appear separate.
Our concern right now is not the end of the dream, for that is beyond our mind’s comprehension at this moment. Our concern is merely with this moment, with the acceptance of the miracle, with the acceptance of the idea we dreamed our dream of separation and we can allow another dream to take its place. Or concern is to accept the new dream Spirit gives us as we open ourselves to Spirit’s guidance. Our concern is to support this new dream, to support this change; refraining from adding our own dreams of fear to the new one Spirit has given us. Our support of this miracle, the new dream is what will strengthen it and us.
In Reality, in Truth, we are One, we are whole, we are innocent, and we are as God created us, unchangeable and inseparable. But we have mistakenly perceived ourselves differently. We have descended the ladder the idea of separation led us down. Now Spirit gives us new dreams of ascending that ladder again. Each step reawakens us a bit more. The gap between you and I is no gap at all, but is an idea we agreed to in our dreams of separation. We believed those dreams and so the gap appears real and sometimes very wide and bottomless. It is our wish to keep apart that makes this gap appear real, that makes it appear so wide.
A wish to join is a shift in thought that reverses our direction, that corrects our mistake. It is an idea that accepts the miracle of healing and the new dream Spirit offers us. It is the opening, the little willingness that allows Spirit’s dream to fill our mind, healing it from the sickness of the idea of separation. Love swiftly flows in, filling the void left by our mistaken ideas we have let go of. And each time we let go of some mistaken idea and Spirit replace it, love flows in again to fill the void. And the old dream is nothing more than a ship passing in the night, leaving no trace of the illusion of separation behind. Let Spirit gently guide the ascent to the reawakening of our true mind, the Mind of God. This is Heaven, our home where we belong.
