Commentary on ACIM Lesson 272

© 2010 Rev. David Seacord

How can illusions satisfy God's Son?

Only love can satisfy the pure in heart. For love is the 'memory of God' made individually active. True peace depends upon remembering only two things: who God is, and who we are. When we have those memories as our guidance, we can trust ourselves to act from love, be without error, and be expressions of unity. Thus do we inspire the world around us to discover peace also. Nothing less than this is our mission.

Namaste,

David

Lesson 272

How can illusions satisfy God's Son?

Father, the truth belongs to me. My home is set in Heaven by Your Will and mine. Can dreams content me? Can illusions bring me happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your Son? I will accept no less than You have given me. I am surrounded by Your Love, forever still, forever gentle and forever safe. God's Son must be as You created him.

Today we pass illusions by. And if we hear temptation call to us to stay and linger in a dream, we turn aside and ask ourselves if we, the Sons of God, could be content with dreams, when Heaven can be chosen just as easily as hell, and love will happily replace all fear.
