Learning Holy Spirit’s Lessons in Love

Only appreciation is an appropriate response to your brother. Gratitude is due him for both his loving thoughts and his appeals for help, for both are capable of bringing love into your awareness if you perceive them truly. And all your sense of strain comes from your attempts not to do just this. How simple, then, is God’s plan for salvation. There is but one response to reality, for reality evokes no conflict at all. There is but one Teacher of reality, Who understands what it is. He does not change His Mind about reality because reality does not change. Although your interpretations of reality are meaningless in your divided state, His remain consistently true. He gives them to you because they are for you. Do not attempt to “help” a brother in your way, for you cannot help yourself. But hear his call for the Help of God, and you will recognize your own need for the Father. (A Course in Miracles, T-12.I.6. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

While we identify with the ego thought system, our interpretations of reality will always be mistaken. The ego is the denial of reality, the denial of Love. The ego sees lovelessness everywhere and builds defenses against attacks of lovelessness.

The ego sees appearances of lovelessness as justification for defense and attack. The Holy Spirit sees appearances of lovelessness as calls for Love. A loveless perception could only come from a mistaken belief that there could be lack of Love. The Holy Spirit would correct the mistaken belief by responding with Love.

When we react with defensiveness, we do so because we believe we lack Love. The Holy Spirit would offer His gentle correction by offering us Love in answer to our call. As we let our minds be healed, we bring healing to the world. The Holy Spirit is always with us, ready to help us respond with Love in every situation. This is how we learn that we are Love, along with all our brothers.
