There is only one Self, as well as one God, that you share with everyone. When you remember this, your separate self, along with the body and name that identifies it, and every other separate self, body and name, dissolve into nothingness. Death, conflict, guilt, suffering and all atrocities disappear forever. The only purpose of life in this world is to remind you that you are not a separate self. The Christmas holidays can be an opportunity to deeply ground this memory, to dissolve all illusions and falsehoods. “Let me not forget myself is nothing, but my Self is all” (ACIM W-358.1:7)
