The Primary Lesson We Must Learn

²There is no world! ³This is the central thought the course attempts to teach.

…healing is the gift of those who are prepared to learn there is no world, and can accept the lesson now. ²Their readiness will bring the lesson to them in some form which they can understand and recognize.

²You are as God created you. ³There is no place where you can suffer, and no time that can bring change to your eternal state. ⁴How can a world of time and place exist, if you remain as God created you?

What is the lesson for today except another way of saying that to know your Self is the salvation of the world? ²To free the world from every kind of pain is but to change your mind about yourself. ³There is no world apart from your ideas because ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the world within your mind in thought. (A Course in Miracles, W-132.6:2-3;7:1-2;9:2–10:3. See also ACIM Lesson 132 Insights.)

We do not have to change the world to find peace and happiness. We have to change our beliefs about what we are. When we let go of identifying with a body and a separate personality in a world of myriad images of separation, we open our mind to receive Holy Spirit’s lessons in Love.

The lesson we must learn is that we are Love and nothing else. We were created by Love as an extension of Itself. The universality of Love excludes all the vain imaginings of a world of separation. Love is our true Identity.

An attribute of Love is peace because there is no conflict in Love’s oneness. Our true Self overlooks all the imagined differences. The practice of seeing only Love awakens our mind to our true Self. The Holy Spirit is in our mind to help us see past differences and recognize the unity that joins us with All That is in the Love of God. We welcome His help to have this vision today.
