We Are Entitled to Peace Today

You are entitled to peace today. A problem that has been resolved cannot trouble you. Only be certain you do not forget that all problems are the same. Their many forms will not deceive you while you remember this. One problem, one solution. Accept the peace this simple statement brings. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.80.3. See also Lesson 80 Insights.)

Let us today practice accepting the peace that is inherent within us always. Let us practice receiving inspiration from the Holy Spirit with every activity we engage in today.

The ego mind will generate belief in a continuous flow of problems. When we notice ourselves falling into the ego trap, we instead practice opening our minds to receive the peace that we are entitled to. Because we are a child of God, peace is always present. It takes our willingness to accept our true inheritance. As we accept peace, inspiration comes with it. The Light of Truth comes with it. As we accept the peace we are entitled to today, it will be a joy-filled day of extending our innate Love and happiness.

Light and Joy and Peace Abide in You

Salvation requires the acceptance of but one thought;—you are as God created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God created you. Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is unchanged. Creation is eternal and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You are and will forever be exactly as you were created. Light and joy and peace abide in you because God put them there. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.93.7)

Today we accept this truth about ourselves… We stay close to truth today, letting the Light of Truth flow through us with our thoughts about ourselves and about everyone around us… Our innocence is guaranteed by God and we are grateful that this is so.

Choosing Holy Spirit’s Certainty

Ask and [the Holy Spirit] will answer. The responsibility is His, and He alone is fit to assume it. To do so is His function. To refer the questions to Him is yours.

To ask the Holy Spirit to decide for you is simply to accept your true inheritance. …If you have made it a habit to ask for help when and where you can, you can be confident that wisdom will be given you when you need it. Prepare for this each morning, remember God when you can throughout the day, ask the Holy Spirit’s help when it is feasible to do so, and thank Him for His guidance at night. And your confidence will be well founded indeed. (A Course in Miracles, M-29.2:7-10;5:4,8-10)

The ego is a know-it-all. Yet its claim to “knowledge” is a memory of a past which is not real. Its offerings of help based on illusions can only lead to uncertainty, anxiety and fear if we rely on its guidance.

Thankfully we have within our minds the Holy Spirit, Whose knowledge comes from Its unity with the Source of all Reality. When we follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance, which is always based on certainty, we rest in quiet safety, deep peace and the strength of God.

We are free to choose Holy Spirit’s certainty in every moment. We need only practice asking all questions of the Holy Spirit instead of the ego. This practice is the path that returns us to the Heaven of perfect happiness, deep peace and changeless Love. Today is another joyful day of practice.

Paying Attention to Our “Peace Meter”

Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your own thoughts, and then extend outward. It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the world arises. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.34.1:2-4)

By being mindful of our level of peace, we establish a “peace meter” which lets us know whether we are following the ego or the Holy Spirit as our Guide. The ego is the denial of peace, being the denial of Love. Any lack of peace is a sure sign that we need to choose another Guide. When we feel at peace, we are following Love’s lead, which is always peaceful because the strength of Love is invulnerable.

When our peace meter indicates we are following the ego’s lead, we always have a choice. We can stay on the ego’s path or we can pause, step back and open to the peace within. As we let our focus be on peace and welcome it in our minds, we open to the lead of the Holy Spirit, our true Self. The more we practice this, the more our peace meter will stay on the side of peace instead of conflict.

Today we dedicate to paying attention to our peace meter.

Let Yourself Be Carried

Today we practice stepping back and letting ourselves be carried… We open our minds to receive inspiration from our Inner Wisdom…

We let go of thinking that we already know and open our minds to receive Holy Spirit’s peace… We let peace enlighten our minds… We remember that we are safe in the Mind of God and have never left…

We remember that separation from God could never be real, and so we are still one with our Creator… We are still safe in the one Mind of God…

We let ourselves feel our Creator’s Love, peace and joy… We let ourselves remember that if it is not Love it is a misperception, an illusion that could never be real… We relax and listen… We have an open mind… We remember that we are one with the Will of God… Today we let ourselves be carried.

Following the Guide to Happiness

The Holy Spirit is my only Guide. He walks with me in love. And I give thanks to Him for showing me the way to go. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.215.1:2-4)

If we want to be happy it makes sense to follow the only Guide That knows what and where happiness is. Happiness is an attribute of the Love we are. We find happiness by letting our Guide show us the truth of What we are and to help us recognize what is false.

Our false ideas of what we are blind us to the eternal Presence of Joy. Today we would open our minds and hearts to the joy of Love. Today we choose to follow the Guide Who knows the way. We will let It lead us moment by moment as we remember that of ourselves we do not know the way.

Accepting Our Holy Relationship with Everyone

Those who would let illusions be lifted from their minds are this world’s saviors, walking the world with their Redeemer, and carrying His message of hope and freedom and release from suffering to everyone who needs a miracle to save him.

How easy is it to offer this miracle to everyone! No one who has received it for himself could find it difficult. For by receiving it, he learned it was not given him alone. Such is the function of a holy relationship; to receive together and give as you received. (A Course in Miracles, T-22.IV.6:5-7:4)

We share one holy Self. In the world it doesn’t seem like we share anything and we need to protect what little we have. This appearance is the effect of believing we are a separate identity, disconnected from the Love that joins us together. It is not true. What God joined together in the oneness of Love cannot be divided in truth.

It is through forgiveness that we let go of the false ideas that seem to divide us and make us adversaries with each other. As we take our judgments to the Holy Spirit in our mind and release them into His loving Light, the shadows of illusions disappear and we experience the miracle of recognizing the Love that joins us. With that recognition our hearts are filled with joy and peace. The joy motivates us to share it. What could bring us more joy than to invite others to share the joy with us. This is how we serve as the Holy Spirit’s messengers.
