The purpose of the Course is to guide us to the reawakening of the awareness of who we really are. We have forgotten who we really are and have developed a perception of ourselves based on the idea that we are separate from each other and God. Our perception of ourselves is much more complicated than the reality of who we are. In our belief in separation we have made up a much more complicated yet limited idea of who we are. And we choose to believe this misperception of ourselves. We have the divine ability to create within us, yet we choose to create less than who we are. Because we create like ourselves, what we create from a belief that we are “less than”, we create “less than.” If we create from a belief than we are One with God, whole, complete and limitless, we will create like God; whole, complete and limitless.
Our divine nature is love. We are love as God is love. And so when we create from a belief that we are love, we will create and extend like ourselves. We will create or extend love. What a world we can imagine if there was nothing but love in it. Yet, the world is a world of love for that is all there really is. We believe that the absence of love is possible, so we think we see its absence. However, since anything other than love is impossible, anything unloving we think we see is a mistaken perception. It merely reflects our belief that what s unloving exists. So much of our thinking is generated by our egoic thought system, which is based in our belief that we are separate that we see a world that seems to be lacking in love. What if we were to let go of our attachment to our belief in the lack of loving and approach it from a belief that there is an abundance of love in this world?
God is love. And so we are love. The divine truth about us is that we are the limitless abundance of love. And while we are existing in this world of perception, the world of form, we are charged with sharing that limitless love with all we encounter. This is where we experience the truth about ourselves and reawaken our awareness of who we really are. Every relationship, every encounter, every experience is an opportunity to see ourselves and each other as love; who we really are. If we believe we are love, we will attract love. If we believe we are unloving, we will attract unlovingness to ourselves. Our divine nature remains strong within us, waiting for us to reawaken to the awareness that that is who we are. It never goes away. It never becomes damaged. Our divine nature simply waits for us to be ready to invite its awareness back into our minds.
How do we do this? How do we make this shift in thinking? Such as shift appears to be difficult if not impossible when we approach it with our egoic mind that believes we are separate and therefor “less.” There is another force within us that is there solely for the purpose of guiding our minds back to the awareness of who we really are. The Holy Spirit dwells within each and every one of us. Spirit recognizes and knows who we really are. Spirit holds that divine nature within us, calling to us to remember. Spirit’s voice is familiar. Spirit’s message is familiar. The ancient song of truth about who we are is calling from within us, reminding us of who we really are. As we let go of the insistent din of the voice of our egoic thought system and turn our attraction to Spirit, the Voice for God, we are reminded of our One divine nature. We feel love well up within us like a never ending stream. Love and peace bubble up within us as we recognize who we really are. We also recognize this same sense of love and peace within each other. What more could we want than to share this joy with one another? Remember, it’s the simple willingness to allow Spirit to guide us in remembering who we really are that brings us back to the experience of the limitless love we really are. Remember then that whenever we question our value to say, “My idea of God and who I am is incomplete without including me and all others in the idea of God and me.” Ask today and the abundance of limitless love shines from within the depths of your being and know who you and all your brothers and sisters really are.
