Once the mind becomes pure and unified, it recognizes Itself because the Mind of Christ. When that Divine Mind is reflected in a body, you've a reflection of this, but a reflection isn't actuality. Christ is really a Light that's just before time.

How Can We Be Reborn In the Light of Christ Within?

We've to stop protecting the crumbling ego self-concept, and expose and release the shame that's hidden in the mind. When you yourself have been judged as a failure, it's simple to say, “Well, I failed previously for sure. I was a failure previously, but it isn't me. That is not me. I'm alive. I'm reborn again in Christ. I'm fresh and clean and clear in this moment, and I have nothing related to the self concept.”

Forgiveness we can stop protecting the crumbling image that the ego made of us.

Once we are reborn in the Light of Christ, once we give all our relationships and everything of time and space over to the Holy Spirit for His purpose, everything changes.

David: “That's the way my life has been. My connection with the dream of life has fundamentally shifted because my purpose shifted for me. It's for most of us. acim It can't be simply for that one or this one, because God doesn't have ‘chosen ones.' ”

Each is called, and the Course says that few choose to listen. Have you been going to be content with that metaphor of “few choose to listen”? Who's surely got to listen? I've surely got to listen. I've surely got to follow. I've surely got to be usually the one! I've surely got to be the one which steps up, and says, “I'll answer the Call.” Like Neo in The Matrix became The One.

Jesus wants us to pass by the images of the planet and to choose the Light. His goal is to take us into the vision of Christ, which can be non-perceptual, to be reborn and feel anew, fresh, and alive. He wants us to be that reflection of the Light of Christ that's shining radiantly within!
