We Heal as We Join with Holy Spirit Today

Healing, forgiveness, and the glad exchange of all the world of sorrow for a world where sadness cannot enter, are the means by which the Holy Spirit urges you to follow Him. His gentle lessons teach how easily salvation can be yours; how little practice you need undertake to let His laws replace the ones you made to hold yourself a prisoner to death. His life becomes your own, as you extend the little help He asks in freeing you from everything that ever caused you pain. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.137.9)

We open to Holy Spirit’s lessons today… We let His Thoughts replace the fearful thoughts of the ego thought system. We let healing come to us…

As we let our minds be healed, we become instruments of healing… We extend the loving Presence that we have received… We let illusions be brought to truth…

We are filled with gratitude for all the help we receive and extend. We join with every brother to let healing be.

In Peace All Problems Are Quietly Resolved

I am entitled to miracles because I am under no laws but God’s. His laws release me from all grievances, and replace them with miracles. And I would accept the miracles in place of the grievances, which are but illusions that hide the miracles beyond. Now I would accept only what the laws of God entitle me to have, that I may use it on behalf of the function He has given me. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.89.1:2-5)

We are learning that whenever we perceive a problem — with a computer that is not working, a difficult relationship, a situation that is disturbing — it represents a grievance. It is a coverup that hides the ever-present Love that is eternally extended to us and through us. The Love is still there, but because we are focused on the seeming problem, we are unaware of it.

The solution is always to open to the Holy Spirit’s vision, which will show us the strength and unity of Love behind the appearances. The perception of a problem is simply a mistake which we cannot correct on our own. But the Holy Spirit can correct our perception. He shines the Light of Love that dissipates the darkness of our grievance so that the appearance of a problem fades away.

As we accept the Holy Spirit’s vision, we receive a change of mind which returns us to the experience of God’s peace and strength. With this change of mind we may be inspired with actions or thoughts with which we can resolve the forms in the world that appear to be problems. In peace are all problems quietly resolved.

We Share the One Identity of Love

Father, our Name (Identity) is Yours. In It we are united with all living things, and You Who are their one Creator. What we made and call by many different names is but a shadow we have tried to cast across Your Own reality. And we are glad and thankful we were wrong. All our mistakes we give to You, that we may be absolved from all effects our errors seemed to have. And we accept the truth You give, in place of every one of them. Your [Identity] is our salvation and escape from what we made. Your [Identity] unites us in the oneness which is our inheritance and peace. Amen. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.184.15)

We are learning that behind all perceived differences we share one Identity — the Identity of Love. Our Creator created us all as the same Love that It is. Our Creator is the Spirit of Love, and therefore we all are the same Spirit of Love.

Thinking that we are separate from our one Identity as Love is the cause of all our pain, sorrow and distress. We have denied our real Identity and now we are at a turning point. We are ready to loosen our hold on the belief that we have separated from our Source. We are returning to the awareness that we are still one with our Source, which is unified Love. We are returning to the awareness that we cannot leave and be in a loveless world where everything is separate and alone.

We open to the truth at last, because it is too painful to continue this false charade of separation… We gladly hand over all of these thoughts of being separate, weak and vulnerable… We allow ourselves to be carried by the gentle Hands of the Spirit of Love (Holy Spirit)… We surrender our beliefs in individuality and differences… We let the Light of Truth shine away these mistaken perceptions…

We gradually receive the depth of peace, Love and joy that comes with letting our false ideas about the world be undone… We are filled with gratitude and a deep sense that all are safe… and that nothing really has happened to change our one true Identity as Love… We soak in this remembering today… and let it fill our hearts and minds… We extend Love to every brother… and see everyone as part of our one, united Beingness in Love…

We Have Constant Help

…perception can be given a new purpose by the One Whom God appointed Savior to the world. Follow His light, and see the world as He beholds it. Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to you. And let Him give you peace and certainty… (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.3.4:2-5)

The Holy Spirit, our inner Teacher, has gifts to give us the moment we are willing to open up to receive them… As we let our minds quiet and go to the Light within, we are lifted up to see the world anew…

With Holy Spirit we rise above the stories of the world to see the eternal presence of Love that is always there to see… Here we find peace… Here we find certainty… We let Holy Spirit carry us past the world to the awareness of Love’s presence…

We are grateful we have this constant Help as we are willing to receive it.

A Prayer to Awaken

Holy Spirit, I would make no decisions on my own today. I am willing to step back and let You lead the way. My purpose is to serve God’s plan that leads us Home. Help me to use all my doing in the world as expressions of Love.

As I let You be the judge of what everything is for, I learn to be truly helpful. With Your help, all things, situations and relationships serve to bring me closer to the recognition of the unity of Love that joins everything in oneness. I am willing to learn the lessons you have for me today that I may learn that I am the Self that God created.

We Accept God’s Purification of Our Mind

Purification is of God alone, and therefore for you. Rather than seek to prepare yourself for Him, try to think thus:

I who am host to God am worthy of Him.
He Who established His dwelling place in me created it as He would have it be.
It is not needful that I make it ready for Him, but only that I do not interfere with His plan to restore to me my own awareness of my readiness, which is eternal.
I need add nothing to His plan.
But to receive it, I must be willing not to substitute my own in place of it. (A Course in Miracles, T-18.IV.5:7-13)

All we need to do is let go of the idea that there is anything more valuable than all of God’s Love. Only Love is real, so Love is everything there is. The ego is the wish to have more than everything. Since it is impossible to have more than everything, the ego is an insane wish.

The world of form is the effect of the belief that it is somehow possible to have more than everything, to be special, to have more than all of Love. This belief blocks us from the awareness that we already have all of God’s Love, all of His peace, all of His joy.

We can become aware of God’s gifts to us only by letting go of the belief that blocks our awareness. The desire and willingness to let this belief be corrected is all we need to let Holy Spirit correct the error for us. From the vantage point of our belief in separation, it is impossible to free ourselves from it. We must let Holy Spirit correct the error for us.

Each time we are willing to take a perceived fear, guilt or judgment to the Holy Spirit with our mind open to receive His gentle correction, we make way for healing that releases us from the past and returns us to our Home in God. This practice is our journey of awakening. It is how we let God purify our mind.

We Always Have Help

Do not despair, then, because of limitations. It is your function to escape from them, but not to be without them. If you would be heard by those who suffer, you must speak their language. If you would be a savior, you must understand what needs to be escaped. Salvation is not theoretical. Behold the problem, ask for the answer, and then accept it when it comes. Nor will its coming be long delayed. All the help you can accept will be provided, and not one need you have will not be met. Let us not, then, be too concerned with goals for which you are not ready. God takes you where you are and welcomes you. What more could you desire, when this is all you need? (A Course in Miracles, M-26.4)

We always have all the help we need to awaken from the dream of separation. If it seems difficult to forgive, to let go of the belief that the world of form is real, it is only because part of us is reluctant to accept the help. Gratefully our small willingness opens the door for help to come in that begins the process of freeing us from our self-imposed limitations.

Each time we turn to the Holy Spirit for help, we open the door further to receive the help we need. The Holy Spirit never gives up on us. We just need to keep practicing. We need to bring our thoughts of fear, guilt, lack and limitation to the Holy Spirit, moment by moment, with willingness to accept His help.

With this practice we will accept more and more help. Difficulties that seemed overwhelming become easier and easier to pass by. More and more we will be able to see the unity we have with all our brothers. Old habits of judgment will weaken as we turn over our judgments to the Holy Spirit to judge on our behalf.

He will always show us the Love and innocence beyond all the forms of the world. We will see it in our brothers and recognize it in ourselves more and more. We dedicate today to the practice of accepting Holy Spirit’s help.
