Surrender seems to happen in stages. As you become ready to let go of what you thought was safe before, it falls away as if it had never been. You are free, only you're not free yet. You are always free, so why do we say you are not free yet? You are only as free as you allow yourself to be in experience, and your effort to confine yourself seems to fall away in stages. Your experiences still reflect limit to you to the extent that you still want it and believe that it is safe.

Miracles don't change anything real, but they do change your perception. Anything that distresses you is not real, but it is a powerful illusion made with ego thought. Miracles show you what is real in a very reassuring way, and they are available to everyone at all times. Miracles are the true answers to the problems you perceive.

I received guidance to review all 365 lessons upon completing the calendar lessons in the ACIM Workbook, so this will have multiple parts.

Nothing causes anything else. There is no actual separate cause and effect. Thus, there is no blame. But as a kind solution to the illusion you have made, there is a kind cause and effect to perceive. When the cause and effect you perceive seems harsh, this is the fantasy you have made from thought. Spirit supplies its loving thought as cause, and then you experience the loving effect. It is very simple. When the cause of your experience is ego-thought, it feels harsh. When the cause of your experience is Spirit thought, you feel supported and loved. The resource you choose as cause is always up to you, and this becomes more obvious as you practice.

Meet sameness and safety everywhere you go today. Behind every surface that you see, the sameness here is your safety and the safety of all. Ego judgments are always positive and negative evaluations of surfaces in comparison with each other. Your only peace is beyond all comparison and separation, and it is always available to you and all. Rest here because the invitation to do so is always open.

There is a difference between laughing at the idea that separation could ever be real and laughing separate aspects of a separation that you believe is real. The difference is feeling--the one thing you are capable of judging. In the first case, your laughter releases you into reality. In the second case, you believe that there is something particularly unfortunate about fantasy, treating fantasy as if it is real. When you laugh at the idea that separation could be real, here you Are, safe at Home in Reality. When you laugh at an aspect of the illusion while believing you're in it, you keep yourself believing it is real.

There is a difference between laughing at the idea that separation could ever be real and laughing separate aspects of a separation that you believe is real. The difference is feeling–the one thing you are capable of judging. In the first case, your laughter releases you into reality. In the second case, you believe that there is something particularly unfortunate about fantasy, treating fantasy as if it is real. When you laugh at the idea that separation could be real, here you Are, safe at Home in Reality. When you laugh at an aspect of the illusion while believing you’re in it, you keep yourself believing it is real.

Ego’s positive and negative emotional offerings fail to disturb when you remember how powerful and helpful Reality is 💚

Whenever there seems to be a problem, you perceive a conflict between two opposing forces 💚

"God’s extending outward, though not His completeness, is blocked when the Sonship does not communicate with Him as one." 💚
Spirit's answer can come through everyone and everything you see 💚
When you follow the only thing that is Real, you flow with what is Real in everyone and everything. Keep your eyes and heart open to what is Real and present in everyone and everything. You are connected with it forever, as are all. From this foundation of what is Real, you will be shown the way. As you are shown, all are shown.

Ego gives you a separate and limited definition of self to fall back on and make your home, and it calls this security. Whenever you feel any degree of tension or stress, this is what is happening--you are attempting to use thought to find a home that can never be your true home. It may seem to be that a person "out there" has a very wrong and unfair view, and this is the cause of your tension, but this is not so. Here you are, separate from that one, with a more accurate view. Here is the limited home of your separate identity you are trying to make safe, but it can never be safe.

You, as separate you, don't have to figure anything out. You can drop the struggle and strain and even the pleasure of that. Spirit does all the figuring, and then you receive thoughts that are easy to follow. 💚
How are you going to see someone as they Are when you're busy defending who they aren't? Whenever you are busy judging or analyzing someone as separate, whether the judgment seems to be positive or negative, you have lost sight of who they Are. Having lost sight of who they Are, you have lost sight of who you Are because you are the same forever.
When anyone comes to mind today, you can remember this: [Name] is another name for Love 💚

If you notice, it feels deeply uncomfortable to comment upon who someone fake-is, and it's a great relief to acknowledge and rest in who they truly Are 💚
