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.

Accepting Our True Identity

Today we would remember that in truth we rest in God… We let this awareness sink in fully as we give our attention to our true Reality…

We are the Spirit of Love in the Mind of Love… We relax and give time for that truth to soak in…

We let ourselves feel that we are resting in the Mind of Love… We let ourselves feel that we are totally immersed in the Love That we are… We let ourselves feel that we are safe… We are innocent… We are loved… We are Home…

We let our inner world be filled with peace and unity… We are aware that the inner world is the cause of what appears in the outer… We let ourselves be carried as we accept our true Identity in the Mind of Love… And we see this true Identity everywhere.

All of God’s Love Is Given Equally to All

“You have the right to all the universe; to perfect peace, complete deliverance from all effects of sin, and to the life eternal, joyous and complete in every way, as God appointed for His holy Son. This is the only justice Heaven knows, and all the Holy Spirit brings to earth. …Let love decide, and never fear that you, in your unfairness, will deprive yourself of what God’s justice has allotted you.” (T-25.VIII.14:1-2,7)

Because God’s Love is given equally to all, if we feel any lack of Love we must be believing in a false image of ourselves. That is why forgiveness, or letting go of this false image, is the key to happiness. To know God’s gift of joy, we must relinquish all judgment. We must accept that of ourselves alone, we know nothing.

We need to redirect our attention from our made up self-image to the Holy Spirit, our true Self, in our minds. Our true Self does know God’s joy and Love. Our true Self extends Love ceaselessly. If we are not seeing that Love being extended through us and our brothers, we are simply focusing on a false image that is not our brother nor ourselves. It is time to let it go.

We are free, right now, to accept the peace of Heaven, the joy of extending Love equally to all. We dedicate today to focusing our attention on the loving Self within and welcoming the vision of innocence our Self brings to us in each moment. As we see with this vision, it will be a day of blessing and of Love.

We Are Joined in One Purpose

Your special relationship will be a means for undoing guilt in everyone blessed through your holy relationship. It will be a happy dream, and one which you will share with all who come within your sight. Through it, the blessing the Holy Spirit has laid upon it will be extended. Think not that He has forgotten anyone in the purpose He has given you. And think not that He has forgotten you to whom He gave the gift. He uses everyone who calls on Him as means for the salvation of everyone. And He will waken everyone through you who offered your relationship to Him. If you but recognized His gratitude! Or mine through His! For we are joined as in one purpose, being of one mind with Him. (A Course in Miracles, T-18.II.7)

In truth we are one with the Mind of the Holy Spirit. As one with the Holy Spirit, we have one goal — waking up from the dream of separation. We experience the happy dream as we let the Mind of the Holy Spirit flow through us, accomplishing His purpose. We extend the Holy Spirit’s blessings to everyone as we go through our day.

We let happiness be received and extended… We let peace be received and extended… This is our purpose for today.

Vision Through Forgiveness

Realize that your forgiveness entitles you to vision. Understand that the Holy Spirit never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. Believe He will not fail you now. You have forgiven the world. He will be with you as you watch and wait. He will show you what true vision sees. It is His Will, and you have joined with Him. Wait patiently for Him. He will be there. The light has come. You have forgiven the world.

We dedicate this day to the serenity in which God would have you be. Keep it in your awareness of yourself and see it everywhere today, as we celebrate the beginning of your vision and the sight of the real world, which has come to replace the unforgiven world you thought was real. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.75.7&11)

Today we accept Holy Spirit’s mindset of serenity… We are open-minded and are willing to see past the world of separation to the real world our forgiveness shows us…

Our openness to Holy Spirit’s vision brings the Light of peace and understanding with it… We are willing to receive Holy Spirit’s inspiration all through the day…

With this practice we receive the innate happiness, peace and joy that is our true Nature… We allow the Light into our minds, which we gladly extend to everyone.

Feeling the Gentle Hand of Christ

Christ’s hand has touched your shoulder, and you feel that you are not alone.

Become the living proof of what Christ’s touch can offer everyone. God has entrusted all His gifts to you. Be witness in your happiness to how transformed the mind becomes which chooses to accept His gifts, and feel the touch of Christ. Such is your mission now. For God entrusts the giving of His gifts to all who have received them. He has shared His joy with you. And now you go to share it with the world. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.166.9:2;15:2-7)

A Workbook lesson tells us that forgiveness is the key to happiness. If we want to know and share God’s joy, we must forgive the world for everything we think it is. The ego always proclaims that nothing in the world is forgivable. Sometimes the ego offers a pseudo forgiveness which still maintains that what needs to be forgiven really happened. This is exemplified by the statement, “forgiven but not forgotten.” As long as we are holding on to a memory of something we believed really happened, it is not forgiven.

When we let the Holy Spirit show us that we really are God’s beloved Son who could never be harmed because we are held eternally safe in God’s Love, we see that no harm happened and we can truly forgive. The ego will never show us this. But the Holy Spirit will bring us to this recognition when we are willing to let go of our perception and let our vision be corrected by the truth. Christ’s vision is the vision of forgiveness. It sees only innocence because it knows that only Love is real. Any other perception is a lie we need to let go.

Today we dedicate to the practice of bringing all our perceptions to the voice of God within with willingness to receive His gentle correction. With this practice, we will feel the gentle hand of Christ. We will experience more deeply the joy that is God’s gift to His beloved Son.
