Are we separate, we human beings? Or, is A Course in Miracle correct? Is there an invisible thread which connects us so completely that if we could only see it we would never think we are alone? Would we ever feel lonely again? Would we laugh at the idea that we are unique or special in any way either individually or as a partner in a relationship? It is absurd for us to think that anything outside our self can cause us to feel distressed or overwhelmed. We already know the truth about ourselves and can choose to feel part of something really, really big. The Course reminds us that we have simply forgotten who we really are. We can choose to have certainty that no petty comment or situation can ever disturb our peace. Our Reality is so much bigger than any life problem or challenge. We can shift from feeling small and powerless to feeling limitless and powerful. It only takes our willingness to do so. The simple Truth is that we mistakenly dreamed we somehow separated from God, our Creator and Source. This simple mistake turns out to be difficult to correct for many of us. We listen to the often loud, firm voice of our ego rather than the quiet, certain Voice for God. We convince ourselves that we are our body. The massive amount of evidence that our egos have created to support this fundamental mistake makes it challenging to believe that the thought is mistaken at all. Yet it is. The truth is, we never separated. We remain connected not only to God but to each other. This is the basic good news which enables us to escape all the insanity of the world we created. Not remembering our Real Self and feeling lonely and alone, we enter into special relationships with each other for company and comfort in life. Imagine the implications of this! I, who does not really know who I am, meet YOU, who does not really know who you are, and WE enter into a special relationship with each other. Then WE, so captivated by each other, seek to complete each other, even though each of us is already complete, and wonder why WE are not living happily ever after. It's no wonder we experience problems. We sometimes spend years consciously and subconsciously visualizing that special someone we want in our lives. We then meet someone and project onto them all that we think they are and can be. In reality, what we perceive about them is only what we projected onto them, not who they really are. And they return the his comment is here to us. We see others as we are, not as they are. As the specialness fades, we wonder why they changed. They wonder the same about us. Neither of us realize that we never really saw each other, only an illusion of what each hoped the other could be. We separate, divorce and meet someone new with whom to have a special relationship. I still do not know who I am. You still do not know who you are. We still wonder why our special relationship is not working. The word "namaste" is a soul to soul greeting people exchange with each other. It is heard much more commonly in the Western world today. If you stop to consider what this greeting means, you see that it is the divine nature in you which is acknowledging the divine nature in another. Imagine being willing to pause and remember that you are truly divine and that so is the one with whom you share the greeting. What if you remembered that there is no degree of divineness, that we are all equal in the eyes of our Creator and Source. What if you saw yourself as you really are, connected to everyone and everything. What if you could escape the small life you had created for yourself and chose to live the big life God gave you to live. What good news to know we are never alone. We need never be lonely. What happy news to accept and share.
