David Hoffmeister ACIM – Enlightenment is a recognition of Reality. Acceptance of the Correction to faulty perception opens the way. Forgiveness, seeing the false as false, is the door to Enlightenment. The eternal/changeless is true. The ephemeral/transitory is false. Who You Are, as God created You, is eternal/changeless. What was made to substitute for Reality, is false.

Enlightenment is Awakening from the dream of fear. It requires laying aside all concepts of what you are and what God is. It requires emptying the mind of the temporal, and thus remembering the eternal nature of Self and God. Reality is Oneness. Duality is illusion. You are blessed as a Child of God. Love is what You are. Love is all there is!

If you're feeling frustrated about your life, and at times wonder what purpose it has, here are some thoughts on how to uncover the blocks to the truth within: the True Identity which God created perfect and Loving. This Identity has nothing in common with the way you see yourself in this world, for this is a world of changing images, and True Identity is changeless.



Your concept of yourself in this linear (past-future) dualistic world is limited and little. This concept includes a private mind, with private thoughts about your self and the world, and a body which senses itself and a world external to itself through the five senses. In contrast, your True Identity is Eternal and Infinite, like the Creator from Which It is created. Eternal Spirit is Oneness and transcends all concepts and images and the time-space cosmos of duality.

In the seeming condition of a dualistic world your True Identity is obviously unrecognized, and therefore it should not be surprising that at times you seem to feel alone, afraid, anxious, depressed, or helplessly adrift. The good news is that state of mind is always a matter of choice, and you can learn to allow mistakes to be corrected by deciding anew in the present moment. It is possible to learn to choose to be happy, free, and at peace regardless of apparent circumstances. It is possible to reach Enlightenment, awakening from the dream of fear and death to the Reality of Eternal Life!

Everyone who seems to inhabit a body on earth holds an erroneous, or false, thought system in mind and organizes his/her "earth life" by it. This false, fear-based thought system is the ego, or Satan in Biblical terms. The "mind of the world" is split. Yet though it believes in falsity, this "mind of the world" also contains the Correction to the one error, and this Correction is always available in the present moment.

This Correction, a reflection of Love Eternal, is one's Intuition, or the Holy Spirit in Biblical terms. This Guide, when followed, leads to a unified Mind, a forgiven world, and is the gateway to remembrance of God, Truth, and one's True Identity as the Eternal Child of an infinitely Loving God. Enlightenment Is Awakening

Everyone who perceives a self "in the world" experiences the emotional roller coaster ride of unstable thoughts and perceptions. Again, this should not be surprising, considering the attempt to hold in mind two completely contradictory thought systems. What is Love cannot also be fear. Fearful concepts are not true, but you can seem to believe in them. And when you do, you seem to vacillate between the thoughts of Love and the thoughts of fear, and thus experience confusion and conflict. But fear and Love can never co-exist, and the presence of one in awareness means the other is absent.

So what is the way out of this seeming conflict? What is the escape from the "human condition?" Give up what you do not want and what does not serve you (thoughts of fear), and what you are (Love) will return to your awareness. This is inevitable, for what You are has never changed and exists forever in the Mind of God. Allow your false beliefs, concepts, and thoughts to be raised to Light in awareness and they are easily released.

Since false beliefs limit your awareness, it must be clear that you must change your mind about your Mind if you are to recognize your True Self and remember God. ACIM explains that changing your mind about your Mind means: to accept your Self as Changeless Divine Mind by letting go of the belief in a private, separate "mind." Just remember, Help is given you from God and you are not alone in the task of learning to accept the Correction of error made for you.

I am joined with you in this task, for we share in the Purpose of healing. This joining is very powerful, as you will discover, because God is the Source and Power by which all healing is already accomplished. Healing requires only acceptance, for in truth Love is all there is and ever will be. Joyful is the adventure of accepting God's Correction to the erroneous belief in separation. Perfect Love casts out fear!
