Accepting the One Self

We state again the truth about your Self, the holy Son of God Who rests in you; whose mind has been restored to sanity. You are the spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father’s Love and peace and joy. You are the spirit which completes Himself, and shares His function as Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.97.2)

Remembering the truth that we are all the same Spirit of Love is the most wonderful gift that we could give and receive this holiday season. My practice for today is to focus on being willing to remember that every part of the Sonship is the same Spirit, the same Self, that completes God. To do this, it is helpful to frequently ask myself, “Am I willing to remember oneness right now?” It is only my willingness in each present moment that will free me to accept everyone as the one Spirit they truly are.

This quote from ACIM is very comforting to me. It reminds me that as I shift my allegiance from the body and the world of separation to the oneness of Spirit, the one Self I share with all in God, I will experience the Love and peace and joy that is God’s gift to all. I feel the blessing of God’s Love and in gratitude, extend it to all. I receive the gift by giving it. I accept that I am Love’s extension by extending Love. I experience the reality that giving and receiving are the same.

Allow Time to Rest in God

As we go to a place of inner quiet, we are reminded: Allow time to turn inward and receive the perspective of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is always there in your mind waiting to free you from the limitations and fearful thoughts of the ego thought system. And because you want freedom instead of pain, you willingly give time to the Holy Spirit to be taught a better way.

Your inner Teacher knows the best way to transform your mind. As you willingly give time to rest in Holy Spirit’s perspective, what you thought before disappears. The healing Light of truth shines away the ego’s dark thoughts of fear and guilt. Peace replaces thoughts of conflict. You are brought to a state of mind where you are able to see past the ego’s thoughts of separation to the one Christ Mind that is always there.

As we receive this mind healing message, we see that allowing time to rest in God is our focus for today.

Taking a “Time Out” With Holy Spirit

In worldly terms it appears that there are many things to do today. What will help me to stay in peace and remember the truth through the day is to take frequent time outs with Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit will show me how to do this if I let Him. The habit of quickly choosing peace can trigger a deeper receptivity to Holy Spirit’s insight in the moment. Opening the door to the Light of Truth changes everything. Whenever I feel frustrated, sad, impatient or a sense of struggle, that is an immediate signal to take a time out with Holy Spirit. There is no need to prolong the suffering. I have immediate help, now.
 
And so my practice today is to reinforce my willingness to take frequent time outs with the Holy Spirit to refresh my memory so that I see the difference between the real and the unreal. This is how I can be truly helpful to myself and everyone around me. Holy Spirit’s Love and joy are contagious. I am willing to receive the blessings of the Holy Spirit all through the day by taking frequent time outs with Holy Spirit.

When I am aligned with Holy Spirit, I feel safe, content, loving and happy. I know all my needs are met. The practice of taking time outs with Holy Spirit help me stay in alignment with Holy Spirit. This is my focus for today.

Set Apart Time for God

The practice of setting aside time to open our hearts and minds to God is essential to the release from the hell of separation. When there is willingness, awareness of our unity in God comes instantly. But when we’re heavily engaged in the ego thought system, it may seem to take longer to relax enough into peace for the awareness of Love’s Presence to return.

This is why the practice of setting aside time each day to relax and open to the peace within is essential to our awakening. In addition to this daily practice, frequent moments of stepping back and pausing to return to peace throughout the day strengthens the willingness to be aware of Love’s Presence. This is our practice today.

Accept What You Are Today

Remember What you are. You are Love’s extension, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of God’s Love. Accept no substitute image.

When you accept What you are, you see only Love everywhere. You see your brother as His is in truth. Your heart is filled with joy as you join with the truth in Him, and walk together the way of gratitude.

Accept What you are today and it will be a day of gratitude and joy. It will be a day of peace and serenity.

See the Love Through Christ’s Vision

Today my practice is to accept Christ’s vision, asking myself frequently, “How does Christ’s vision see this circumstance?” Asking this question helps me step back from the ego’s way of seeing the world and open to the Light of truth.

Unless I am willing to open to the Light of truth, I cannot be helpful to myself or the Sonship. This is a simple practice, but requires that I stay vigilant to make opening to the truth my highest priority. The more I am consistent with this practice, the easier it becomes. And I give thanks.

A Course in Miracles tells me that I am the Light of the world. This does not mean that the image of a separate identity in a body is the Light of the world. It means the truth of what I am, the extension of God’s Love, is the Light of the world.

The way I bring this Light to the world is through forgiveness, letting go of the idea of being a separate identity. When I allow myself to accept Christ’s vision, I see the Love that is everywhere, looking past appearances of individuality.

Today as I practice seeing with the vision of Christ, the appearances of the world fade and I see the Light of truth shining back to me everywhere I look. This is my practice today.

In God’s Gratitude I Heal

Walk, then, in gratitude the way of love. For hatred is forgotten when we lay comparisons aside. What more remains as obstacles to peace? The fear of God is now undone at last, and we forgive without comparing. Thus we cannot choose to overlook some things, and yet retain some other things still locked away as “sins.” When your forgiveness is complete you will have total gratitude, for you will see that everything has earned the right to love by being loving, even as your Self.

Our gratitude will pave the way to Him, and shorten our learning time by more than you could ever dream of. Gratitude goes hand in hand with love, and where one is the other must be found. For gratitude is but an aspect of the Love which is the Source of all creation. God gives thanks to you, His Son, for being what you are; His Own completion and the Source of love, along with Him. Your gratitude to Him is one with His to you. For love can walk no road except the way of gratitude, and thus we go who walk the way to God. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.195.8,10)

With forgiveness comes gratitude. I am never grateful for someone I judge. But when I have let go of judgment, I see the Love that is always there, and my heart is filled with gratitude. It is the natural response to the blessing that comes with joining with the Love that is our one Self, at Home in Love. The practice of applying ACIM in my life teaches me to be less judgmental, more forgiving. This clears the way for me to see past appearances to the reality of ever present Love. The more I forgive, the happier I am. Every day is a day of thanksgiving as I forgive.

Opening to God’s gratitude lifts the veil of my belief in separation. Here I am returned to oneness. Here I see that my brother is not a body. Here I see that it has merely been a projection that came with my belief in separate bodies. As I allow the veil to be lifted, the fact that nothing has happened to change God’s one Son returns to my awareness. And gratitude for every brother replaces the mistaken belief in separation. As I accept God’s gratitude I am healed.
