“For it is the embrace with perfect self-honesty that returns the mind to sanity. It is the refusal to be honest that creates the conflict and tension in the mind that is called insanity. And insanity is a state in which the mind is not at peace, and Christ cannot enter therein.” (“The Way of Transformation,” The Way of Mastery, Lesson 22, Page 269)
A Course in Miracles also says that we are living in madness until our minds and healed, and we walk with God. All of us, and this is an arresting truth.
It sometimes helps in an altercation with loved ones (which happens to all of us) that we silently say, “This is insanity.” We can’t ask our loved ones to be closer to God than we are, and ACIM also says that the one who is more sane at the moment has the imperative to cool things down (a paraphrase).
We need, as this passage says, to embrace whatever is happening. Not to turn away from it, which makes for unnecessary conflict. Choose Only Love also reiterates that embracing what is happening is the way we escape from what is troubling us; to try to avoid it is to invite further pain.
If Christ cannot enter us when the mind is in conflict, A Course of Love says that we ought to turn to our heart for a solution. Yes! This channeled work holds the key.
Let the heart rule, for the heart will choose embracing, with love, just all the time.
Let the heart do its work, and all will be well.
