Over

Over: 

we want the peace of God, and this seems a lofty goal, always out of reach. Yet lesson 185 of A Course in Miracles tells us that this is entirely attainable, and more so, that it is ours already - we only have to surrender the false beliefs of separation, letting go of the illusion of the world we see. 

the peace of God is ours already.

and to truly mean this...

everything's forgiven.

dreams are over,

we're home.

right now. 

it's that simply, but of course not quite so easy. We are adept dreamers, masters really, and the false reality of this world proves this so. Life can be exceedingly difficult, often severe in its toll, and we're fortunate for just a few moments of real joy. 

the peace of God seems very far indeed. 

and so the sincerity of our request is vital, a heart-felt plea to truly know this promised peace. The problem though, is that we're reluctant to renounce our very special dream, cherishing those things that keep us trapped within their troubled existence. 

we're not quite ready to be sincere.

and so the dream continues.

at least until we're ready to let go, finished with cherishing all the things that never  truly bring us peace of mind. We're now finally sincere. Lesson 185 reminds us that this is all we need, and that the next step, the only step, is offered through forgiveness. 

we renounce our dreams of specialness. 

seeing others as joined to this cause.

forgiving...

until the dream is over.
