We must choose to forgive what we made; and be thankful for what we are!!! An Idea that unites us with God and our true nature

We are an Idea, a Thought in the Mind of God, an extension of His Perfect Love and Perfect Peace! As such we are in need of nothing and are conflict free. Such is the Creation of an Omniscient, Omnipotent all Loving God. Although my split mind cannot conceive of such a state, I instinctively know this beautiful Idea, though unknown through sense perception, is true and knowable. To our guilt-ridden and fragmented ego mind, this idea is fearful, being a denial of its material form-filled illusory dreamworld.  A world where dissociated aspects are in continual conflict with one another; unaware the conflict resides within their own fragmented mind and not outside.We may deny the truth of our reality but we cannot change our reality. And this denial always leads to dualistic fearful dreams of death. ——The Self That God created needs nothing. It is forever complete, safe, loved and loving. It seeks to share rather than to get; to extend rather than project. It has no needs and wants to join with others out of their mutual awareness of abundance (ACIM, Preface.8:4-7)

In the dualistic dreamworld of perception change is continuous. An idea can be good or bad, forgiving or condemning, peaceful or attacking; depending on the dreamer’s purpose. But in a state of Oneness an idea, in principle, must reflect the Truth. It cannot leave the mind, be different from it and in opposition to it. In other words the complete opposite of the dualistic dreamworld we experience.  We do not find it difficult to accept the fact that God is an idea—- What you find difficult to accept is the fact that, like your Father, you are an idea. ⁶And like Him, you can give yourself completely, wholly without loss and only with gain. ⁷Herein lies peace, for here there is no conflict. (ACIM, T-15.VI.4:5-7)

Forgiveness is the means for healing our dissociated mind, leading to gentler dreams preceding our awakening. You will first dream of peace, and then awaken to it. ²Your first exchange of what you made for what you want is the exchange of nightmares for the happy dreams of love. (ACIM, T-13.VII.9:1-2)

He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise; fear him not, follow him. Jesus is one who remembered God and saw the face of Christ in every One. He knew the images he perceived were illusions and let them go. He knows what it means to be an Idea in the Mind of God and his Course is one of the ways he is helping us attain the peace and joy he experiences .

Let us forgive our illusions of pain, suffering, loss and death, and accept the Truth of WHO ‘we’ ARE.  Let us be thankful we are still as God created us!!! —- A Beautiful Idea!!!  —- Of course, what else could reality be!

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.

In Gratitude and Love,
