One and the Same

"Would it be possible for you to hate your Brother if you were like him? Could you attack him if you realized  you journey with him, to a goal that is the same?"
- ACIM Chapter 24 - The Goal of Specialness pp.501

The fundamental illusion that we each have fallen victim to is the predominant illusion generated by the presence of our Body-Mind. This is the illusion of Separateness and is the direct cause to why the world is experienced the way that it is. 

In ACIM, Jesus shares insightful wisdom in regards to healing this illusory belief in our minds so that we may experience the Truth of our being and by proxy the Truth of our Brothers. When we ask ourselves why the world is the way it is we must be careful not to project blame onto the world itself. This would be the ego's way of maintaining the separation between us all. Instead we must be mindful of where we are looking from when observing the world. 

What is our mental/emotional status? Do we have stock in the world? Do we need it to be a certain way? To provide for us specific experiences? Specific opportunities?

In the above quote, Jesus makes it clear that any animosity or hatred we have towards our Brothers is being generated by a simple lack of understanding of who we are and who are Brother is. In truth we are not caught in a Maelstrom of competition and violence with our Brothers. We are together here to walk each other home.. "to journey with him, to a goal that is the same..".

Enter into this place of stillness and view your Brother through eyes of Love. Through eyes of God. And in this place, as you look from Truth, the world will begin to Glow. It will shine back to you the Love of God of which you have chosen to see the world through. Here we will see a great plan unfolding of which every living thing is a part. 

I offer a prayer; 

In this moment I release all sense of separation and enter into the stillness and peace of God. We are One. There are no parts greater or lesser then another part. There are no parts at all. We shine as One. We Live as One. We Learn as One. 

I extend this peace of mind to all Sons of God so that they too may recognize and understand their truest nature. I remain open and loving so that all Sons of God may know that they are infinitely loved by God, through me. I forgive myself for any and all moments in which this was not expressed. I forgive all Sons of God for the same. Nothing we choose to do can change the truth of who and what I am. No false idea can change or alter Truth. 

Nothing real can be threatened; Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
