Being One With God

By Mary Lucero

I remember how quickly I sat up in bed because of my surprise at what I was feeling. It was 3:30 am. All I wanted to do was talk with God. I was filled with a tremendous depth of love, awe, praise, and gratitude. I asked the angels, masters, legions and friends to help me express this love with which my heart was bursting to share with God.

Two ethereal hands appeared as if coming through the top of the house into the room and lifted me. There isn’t a word to describe how gently I was lifted out of my bed! However, I could see my form was still sitting up in the bed below me.

I was propelled into infinity. I was outside of space and time. I felt like I was God, yet Someone was with me making me aware of what I was experiencing. I felt that I was in my true natural state. I had to have been one with God. I was one with everything and knew that everything I was shown were my creations. I instantly knew the magnificent realities my spirit could embrace through vision were my creations. I marveled at the pure majesty of each planet and the holy masters in each one which were one with God and somehow also individuated.

I was then immediately swept into the microcosm which was as vast as the macrocosm and yet again I knew it was all me. Some of the details could not be explained because it was genuinely ineffable. However, it was the ALL KNOWING with which I was left. I never lost consciousness and knew my body was wide awake during this 3 ½ hour experience or what I call revelation. I was then so very gently reunited with my body-form and the experience ended except for what can be described as an after-glow. My first thought was that I was the effect of God in body-form and I was delighted!

I immediately opened my ACIM book and could read nothing in it. All the words on the pages were just black and white blobs that just could not be read. I was taken aback and at that moment Holy Spirit clearly said to me “It can’t be read. You are everything in it. You wrote it!” I cried out with delight knowing what He meant. I know in form, of course, I didn’t write it but in truth we all wrote it because the truth is we are all holy Sons of God made in His image and are one with God. We are here in form to remember this is a journey without distance and we are here to extend the love of God. What is unreal (not love) does not exist. As the Course says herein lies the peace of God.

If the foundation of our reality is a love that far transcends all appearances, if it is indeed a light and love that knows neither beginning nor end, and if it is a love that is also the foundation of my being, then truly we are all one. Beyond all appearances, beyond all birth and death, beyond all coming and goings, beyond all fears and all doubts and all longing and all laments, we remain as we are created, the holy and only begotten Son of God.
