The Greatest Message Ever Given And Received

Your function is to bring peace to every mind through your forgiveness, because you are the light of the world. Who is the light of this world except you, except God's Son? This statement is the truth about yourself, while to the ego, to any human being, identified with his body and limited self, it is the epitome of self-glorification. Yet humility consists of accepting your role in salvation and in taking no other. (ACIM, Workbook Lesson 61, I am the light of the world.)

How do you take your place among the saviors of the world?

A Course In Miracles teaches you to become miracle-minded, and offers a daily mind training to unlearn your limited ideas and concepts that define what you are, and what you can do. Its lessons offer a new experience beyond concepts that is energetic, extremly joyous, and leading to real peace of mind. The lessons do not require that you believe the ideas expressed, however, to be successful you have to be willing to practice them without reservation or making exceptions in regard to their applicability. In that you meet the conditions of totality to be lifted out of this limited frame of consciousness.

With that experience goes a very different perspective on the world, in fact, A Course In Miracles is practicing another way of looking at the world. This is a pre-requisite for you to fulfill your part in God's plan for salvation. The message of Jesus is very simple. There is only one life, one source of life, and that you share with God. Everything else is your own nightmare or darkness. God, light does not attack darkness, but light must shine darkness away. Since the darkness you see is only in your own mind, you have to be the light of the world that it may be healed.

Everyone knows that there is no solution to conflict on the level that it is formulated. The solution can come only from a broader or higher perspective, through brighter ideas. Light makes darkness disappear, and conflict is literally gone.

The mind training lessons help you to momentarily stand still in a place that you do not fill with your own ideas. This leaves room for the light to come in, to heal and lift you out of your conflictual mind. When you come back, everything has changed. To do just this makes you the savior of the world. Actually, it is not a doing at all. You be defenseless, and the world, your concept of yourself, gets undone. That is you remembering who you really are. The blocks to the awareness of the presence of love are removed, and you stand naked as the blazing light of truth and life.

It is a miracle. You have the key to real freedom and happiness with you now. Will you practice using it? Will you seek help to do just that? Will you be still and listen?

That will depend only on you. Did you have enough pain? Did you have enough of pain, sickness and death? If that is the case for you, your "path" is easy, straight and fast. Otherwise this message will seem to you as a call for sacrifice.

It is only a matter of time. No one will accept pain and death forever as a part of life. Again, A Course In Miracles is for you to shorten time immeasurably.

"I can escape from this world by giving up attack thoughts. Herein lies salvation, and nowhere else. Without attack thoughts I could not see a world of attack. As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness, I will see a world of peace and safety and joy. And it is this I choose to see, in place of what I look on now."

"There is another way of looking at the world. Since the purpose of the world is not the one I ascribed to it, there must be another way of looking at it. I see everything upside down, and my thoughts are the opposite of truth. I see the world as a prison for God's Son. It must be, then, that the world is really a place where he can be set free. I would look upon the world as it is, and see it as a place where the Son of God finds his freedom." (From ACIM, Workbook Lessons 55, 57)

All things I think I see reflect ideas.

This is salvation's keynote: What I see reflects a process in my mind, which starts with my idea of what I want. From there, the mind makes up an image of the thing the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to find. These images are then projected outward, looked upon, esteemed as real and guarded as one's own. From insane wishes comes an insane world. From judgment comes a world condemned. And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world comes forth, with mercy for the holy Son of God, to offer him a kindly home where he can rest a while before he journeys on, and help his brothers walk ahead with him, and find the way to Heaven and to God.

Our Father, Your ideas reflect the truth, and mine apart from Yours but make up dreams. Let me behold what only Yours reflect, for Yours and Yours alone establish truth. (ACIM, Workbook Lesson 325)

"I have enjoined you to behave as I behaved, but we must respond to the same Mind to do this. This Mind is the Holy Spirit, Whose Will is for God always. He teaches you how to keep me as the model for your thought, and to behave like me as a result. The power of our joint motivation is beyond belief, but not beyond accomplishment. What we can accomplish together has no limits, because the Call for God is the call to the unlimited. Child of God, my message is for you, to hear and give away as you answer the Holy Spirit within you." (ACIM, Ch. 5.II)

"The Holy Spirit extends by recognizing Himself in every mind, and thus perceives them as one. Nothing conflicts in this perception, because what the Holy Spirit perceives is all the same. Wherever He looks He sees Himself, and because He is united He offers the whole Kingdom always. This is the one message God gave to Him and for which He must speak, because that is what He is. The peace of God lies in that message, and so the peace of God lies in you. The great peace of the Kingdom shines in your mind forever, but it must shine outward to make you aware of it.

The Holy Spirit was given you with perfect impartiality, and only by recognizing Him impartially can you recognize Him at all. The ego is legion, but the Holy Spirit is one. No darkness abides anywhere in the Kingdom, but your part is only to allow no darkness to abide in your own mind. This alignment with light is unlimited, because it is in alignment with the light of the world. Each of us is the light of the world, and by joining our minds in this light we proclaim the Kingdom of God together and as one." (ACIM, Ch. 6.II)

"Remember that "yolk" means "join together," and "burden" means message. Let us reconsider the biblical statement "my yolk is easy and my burden light" in this way. Let us join together, for my message is Light. I came to your minds because you had grown vaguely aware of the fact that there is another way, or another voice. Having given this invitation to the Holy Spirit, I could come to provide the model for HOW TO THINK." (Urtext of
