Happy New Year
Helen Schucman, scribe of A Course in Miracles, channeled this line right around New Year’s: “Make this year different by making it all the same.” And while it is a beautiful resolution for the holiday, it is applicable for every day of the year.
The message behind this quote is to make the year (day) different from all our past years and days by seeing everyone as the same. Another powerful line in the Course is “differences in form do not matter.” While we all may have different bodies, different personalities, different skills, and different experiences – we all share the same wrong-minded thought system of the ego, and the same right-mind of oneness or presence. We are all one. And we all share the same purpose to awaken to that oneness which we never left.
Regardless of our differences in form, we are all the same. Everyone. And when viewed through the eyes of presence, all that we can possibly see is either a crying out for love, or an extension of love.
So, let’s make this new year different by making everyone the same, as we all are, in love.
