Fear of the Will of God is one of the strangest beliefs the human mind has ever made. It could not possibly have occurred unless the mind were already profoundly split, making it possible for it to be afraid of what it really is. Reality cannot “threaten” anything except illusions, since reality can only uphold truth. The very fact that the Will of God, which is what you are, is perceived as fearful, demonstrates that you are afraid of what you are. It is not, then, the Will of God of which you are afraid, but [your will].
Your will is not the ego’s, and that is why the ego is against you. What seems to be the fear of God is really the fear of your own reality.
[The Holy Spirit] has the power to look into what you have hidden and recognize the Will of God there. His recognition of this Will can make it real to you because He is in your mind, and therefore [the Holy Spirit] is your reality. If, then, His perception of your mind brings its reality to you, He is helping you to remember what you are. The only source of fear in this process is what you think you will lose. Yet it is only what the Holy Spirit sees that you can possibly have.
There is no difference between your will and God’s.
Reality is the only safety. Your will is your salvation because it is the same as God’s. The separation is nothing more than the belief that [your will] is different [than God’s].
God is Love and you do want Him. This is your will. Ask for this and you will be answered, because you will be asking only for what belongs to you. (A Course in Miracles, T-9.I.1:1-2:2;4:2-6;5:3;7:7-9:9:7-9. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
Everyone in this world is searching for Love because this world is a dream of denying Love. This denial separates us from the Love of God That is our Home. It denies our true Will, which we share with God.
The Holy Spirit, our true Self, has not forgotten that our Will is God’s Will. His Love is ours, now and forever. To find the Love we seek, we need only rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all our thinking and perceptions.
If we habitually ask the Holy Spirit to guide our thoughts and perceptions, we will be shown the changeless Love that lies beyond all appearances in the world. We will learn that we already have the Love we have been seeking. We will find peace because thoughts of lack, limitation and separation fade from our mind. Our brothers cease to be adversaries, for they are recognized as our mighty Companions in the oneness of God’s Love.
