Your Soul is the Light of the world.
Light is an aspect of Creation,
for It is of the Mind, being Its creative energy.
The Light will bless all that you look upon.
Its nature, even in this world, is to extend
and join with Itself in everyone and everything you see.
In this joining are you and your brother twice blessed,
and the healing of separation is strengthened in both.
The Light in your Mind is felt even by those who do not recognize It,
for It shines from your eyes and touches their hearts.
Your function is to shine as the Light of the world,
that all may see the Light and thereby be shown the way.
Forgiveness is required to heal the sense of guilt and all grievances.
This frees the mind, allowing its Light to shine brightly again,
dispelling the darkness of the world and offering a blessing to all.
Forgiveness is required to heal the sense of guilt and all grievances.
Yet does all this require your willingness,
for without willingness, nothing can be done.
The one gift the Holy Spirit asks of you is willingness.
The mind awake,
sees through illusory appearances to the Light beyond them all,
and under its forgiving gaze does all suffering disappear.
The mind given back to Truth is free, even in this world.
The sorrows of the world do not weigh it down,
nor does the pain and suffering inherent in separation,
affect its peace and joy.
Where Love rules, where forgiveness reigns,
is all illusion renounced, recognized as the nothingness it is.
The mind returned to Truth is ruled by Love, joy, and peace forever.
There is no room in such a mind for fear, thoughts of guilt and sin,
or belief in attack.
You cannot have Peace without Love,
for they are aspects of Truth, and Truth is One.
Peace follows Love,
for where Love is found does peace prevail,
and where peace rules the mind, has Love taken Its rightful place.
Peace will not desert you when once you establish it in your mind.
There is no greater gift than peace of mind.
Love is wholly satisfying and complete in Itself,
and you will never be happy until Love fills your heart once again.
You need only meet Love’s conditions and thus invite It,
to bring about Its return.
Love will set you free to be Itself, if you will let It.
Love wants to return to your mind
and restore joy to your life.
All stand blessed and innocent in the eyes of Love,
for It sees only the perfection and Holiness of God’s Creation everywhere.
Love cannot but forgive
for It is incapable of judgement
and condemnation.
Through the act of forgiveness is
a miracle of Love extended to your brother,
and in this miracle are you included,
and both are blessed as One.
Forgiveness is an expression of Love in this world
that is like unto Love as It is in Heaven.
If you would know Love, you must give up all belief and investment in attack,
for attack expresses and reinforces fear, and fear drives Love from your mind.
Love must be given freely to all;
It cannot be reserved for special relationships and still be Love.
Love is a part of Truth for It is Reality Itself.
Love cannot be denied for It is everywhere,
but you can choose not to see It or invite It into your mind,
thus making It inaccessible.
Love and fear are mutually exclusive; where one is, the other is not.
You are always choosing between Love and fear with every thought,
feeling, and action.
Love does not go where It is unwanted.
It has no opposite in truth,
but in this world there appears to be an opposite to Love,
and that is fear.
Love is the force behind Creation for It extends Itself, gives Itself, unceasingly.
Love is whole and cannot be divided and still be Love.
Let us review everything we have said about Love so far.
Your Creator is Love, and in your Creation were you created Love also.
Love is One, encompassing all without exception.
The ego’s goals are always attractively wrapped
so as to divert your attention from what is really being given,
which is nothingness.
To pursue nothingness when you could have everything,
is a tragedy of epic proportions.
The ego must conceal the consequences of following its directions
or you would withdraw your allegiance.
Even a mind lost in the insanity of the dream,
would not march willingly to its destruction.
