Inspiration Is Available in Every Moment

There is not a moment in which God’s Voice ceases to call on my forgiveness to save me. There is not a moment in which His Voice fails to direct my thoughts, guide my actions and lead my feet.

As I listen to God’s Voice, I am sustained by His Love. As I open my eyes, His Love lights up the world for me to see. As I forgive, His Love reminds me that His Son is sinless. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.60.4:2-3;5:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 60 Insights.)

Forgiveness draws away the curtain that hides the Light of Love from our awareness. Judgment, or unforgiveness, denies the Light of Love and simultaneously denies the inspiration that Love brings. The inspired life is infused with Love by the Source of inspiration.

This Source of inspiration is the Source of true happiness. Thus the path to true happiness and inspiration is through forgiveness. That is why we must be vigilant to bring all thoughts that disturb our peace to the Holy Spirit with willingness to accept His help to let them go.

This Help is ever present, waiting on our welcome. Today we commit to bringing all of our perceptions to the Holy Spirit with willingness to accept His gentle and happy correction. Through our willingness we will experience inspiration, which always extends Love.

We Choose a New Perception of the World

Let us today behold each other in the sight of Christ. How beautiful we are! How holy and how loving! Brother, come and join with me today. We save the world when we have joined. For in our vision it becomes as holy as the light in us. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.313.2. See also ACIM Lesson 313 Insights.)

The vision of Christ is seen through our inner spiritual vision. As we give priority to this inner vision instead of what the body’s eyes see, the forms of the world take on a new light. Their seeming reality fades and the world is covered with the Light of Love. Christ’s vision shows us Love’s innocence everywhere. Where Love is accepted, guilt is unknown.

Above all else we would see with Christ’s vision today. We would let the Light of Love supersede the images of the world. With the Light of Love, we recognize our brothers as one with us. In this oneness, we know we are safe in Love’s peace and uplifted by Love’s joy.

We Let Love Guide All Our Doing

We let God’s Thoughts fill our mind as we go through our day today… We let Love flow through us in every aspect of our lives… We let ourselves be carried on Love’s gentle wings… We step back and follow with Love leading the way…

As we let Love fill our minds and hearts, we are inspired in how to be truly helpful in each present moment…

We are so thankful for all the guidance we have as we go through our day today… All this comes to us as we are committed to letting Love guide all our doing.

Accepting Holy Spirit’s Gentle Dream of Awakening

You are the dreamer of the world of dreams. No other cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God’s Son, and made him think that he has lost his innocence, denied his Father, and made war upon himself. So fearful is the dream, so seeming real, he could not waken to reality without the sweat of terror and a scream of mortal fear, unless a gentler dream preceded his awaking, and allowed his calmer mind to welcome, not to fear, the Voice that calls with love to waken him; a gentler dream, in which his suffering was healed and where his brother was his friend. God willed he waken gently and with joy, and gave him means to waken without fear.

Accept the dream He gave instead of yours. It is not difficult to change a dream when once the dreamer has been recognized. Rest in the Holy Spirit, and allow His gentle dreams to take the place of those you dreamed in terror and in fear of death. He brings forgiving dreams…

Dream softly of your sinless brother, who unites with you in holy innocence. And from this dream the Lord of Heaven will Himself awaken His beloved Son. (A Course in Miracles, T-27.VII.13:1-14:4;15:1-2. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The Course tells us that we are the dreamer of the life we experience in the world of form. It also acknowledges that taking responsibility for this dream can be terrifying because it turns upside down all that we believe is real.

But we have been given a gift beyond measure that provides the means to shift from the dream of destruction and death to a happy dream. We have been given a Guide to lead us to this happy dream of forgiveness — the Holy Spirit. Forgiveness is the path to the happy dream of seeing only innocence.

We need only be vigilant to practice bringing all our thoughts of fear and guilt, all perceptions that seem to bring unhappiness and disturb our peace, to the Holy Spirit, with willingness to receive His loving correction. This moment by moment practice will lead us inevitability to the happy dream that sees our brothers’ innocence and our own. It opens the door to the recognition of the Love that is the Self we share with our brother. With this acceptance we stand joyfully at Heaven’s door where we awaken to the Love we are and that created us.

Today I Accept God’s Peace and Joy

My practice for today is to be open to the flow of God’s peace in my mind… I let peace lead me to be one with God’s Thoughts… I let peace lead me to my inherent inner happiness and joy… I let peace lead me to the feeling of inner contentment and fulfillment that naturally comes with accepting God’s gifts as mine…

I let the door be opened to the real world, the forgiven world… I rise above the struggle and pain to see the Love that is always really there… I am brought to the truth that the only thing that is real is Love… I rest in that remembering… Peace, happiness and joy are mine forever… They belong to everyone in truth… I am filled with gratitude as I accept God’s gifts of peace and joy today.

Receiving Holy Spirit’s Lessons in Happiness

We want to be happy. Forgiveness is the key to happiness. With this in mind, our prayer for today is:

I am willing to bring all thoughts that disturb my happiness and peace to You, Holy Spirit. Because God’s Will for me is perfect happiness, anything that interferes with happiness must be a false perception. Help me to recognize my false perceptions. As I recognize the false for what it is, I easily let it go for it is seen as valueless. As I let the false go, I return to the happiness that is God’s eternal gift. My heart is filled with gratitude.

Remembering Who We Are

We are creation; we the Sons of God. We seem to be discrete, and unaware of our eternal unity with Him. Yet back of all our doubts, past all our fears, there still is certainty. For Love remains with all Its Thoughts, Its sureness being theirs. God’s memory is in our holy minds, which know their oneness and their unity with their Creator. Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God’s Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but as God created us. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.11.4)

In this world we all feel unworthy and lacking Love. We seem to be on a constant quest for appreciation, attention, respect and value. These are all substitutes for God’s Love, which we have denied by choosing to believe we are separate from God. We will never find the love we believe we need in the world.

The Love we need is already ours. Our only need is to accept the Love that is already given us by our Creator. Because the nature of Love is to extend Itself, we learn that we have all the Love we need by extending It. To do this we need to let go of, or forgive, the beliefs that deny or limit the flow of Love. For this we need the Holy Spirit’s help.

First we must recognize our unloving thoughts, our perceptions of guilt and fear, our judgments. Then we need to bring these to the Holy Spirit and ask for His help to recognize what is true and what is false. With Holy Spirit’s help we can see the Love beyond the barriers to Love. With His help we will recognize that the barriers have no substance and we can freely lay them aside.

As we lay the barriers aside, Love flows freely through us and embraces our brothers. The memory of Love, our Creator returns. We remember Who we are. We remember we are Love’s extension, the Son of God.
