Thank you Sean, a lovely reminder of the same love that the Holy Spirit has for all of us.
You said it perfectly "In quiet today, let us hear the Voice that does not see us as separated by time or space, by ability or belief, by appearance or aspect." If only I could manage this as He does.
It is a good reminder that the Holy Spirit does see us all equally, that can be hard to take sometimes, especially with our default for judgement and lack of self-worth. I always think of it as how you feel with your siblings, it can be difficult to accept that your parents love their children equally, difficult to understand that love is not measurable and that to your parents you are all worthy of the same love. There is a bond with your parents that even when they, or you, behave badly there is a thread that runs between you that is unbreakable.
You can have only one earthly Mother, only one earthly Father and somehow that gives an extra bond. If only we could recognise that in our relationship with our true Father. And if only we could see all those we see in any moment as our true brothers and sisters with the same bond and reality that we feel here with our earthly family. Then I am sure it would help us to see the truth that there is no separation between us, that we are the Children of God who loves us all equally beyond measure.
Beautifully said: “…the ego's frantic emphasis on the value of differences”. It is a frantic emphasis, isn’t it? And in looking for the value of differences, my ego is looking for something that doesn’t exist, if I am to understand ACIM correctly. I’d like to think that’s one way to more readily discern what’s true within me (the Holy Spirit) and what is not (the ego). The Holy Spirit just “feels” good and right and true. And when I’m caught up in ego, I’m restless, irritable and discontent. I’m grateful for the thoughts you share, and I’m grateful that ACIM is helping me to make better choices, day by day. Thanks Sean.
