My Completion in God

Mary:
In our reading A Course in Miracles this morning, this particularly stood out to me: “Fear not to cross to the abode of peace and perfect holiness. Only there is the completion of God and His Son established forever. Seek not for this in the bleak world of illusion, where nothing is certain and where everything fails to satisfy. In the Name of God, be wholly willing to abandon all illusions. In any relationship in which you are wholly willing to accept completion, and only this, there is God completed, and His Son with Him.” (T-16.IV.9:2-6)

This is gently reminding me that as I am willing to accept Holy Spirit’s perfect gift of peace, the veil of separation is lifted and is replaced by the knowing of Love’s oneness.

If ever I feel unsettled, uncertain or fearful, I can choose peace instead. My willingness to accept peace is my willingness to let the veil be lifted. It is my willingness to rise above the battleground of illusions and return to the lawns of Heaven. This is my opportunity today. If I forget, my handrail to return is through accepting Holy Spirit’s gift of peace.

Robert:
When I remember that God is with me in every moment, I rest in His peace. I feel safe and at ease. When I return to the old habit of believing that I am separate from God, I immediately feel vulnerable and out of peace. Today I will continue to practice vigilance to recognize when I am buying into the false image of being separate and step back.

I want to always remember that God goes with me wherever I go. The times when I am unaware of this simply show me my resistance to letting go of an old self image. But the Call of Love is stronger than any false image I believe about what I am. It calls me Home to remember that I never truly left. I am grateful for this Call. I am willing to be vigilant for God and His Kingdom so that I may walk in His peace.

No Effort Is Required

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Let go of efforting. Efforting is a sure sign that you have decided on your own what you need and believe that you know how to find it. But remember when you decide on your own, you are deciding with the ego. And the ego always wants to seek and not find. Thus efforting keeps you locked into an endless circle that appears to have no way out and will never satisfy.

Step back from efforting. You cannot effort and find peace. Peace cannot be found within the thought system that believes you are on your own. It is this belief that must be set aside. Allowing yourself to settle into peace opens the way for you to find what you really want — the peace of God.

Step back and welcome peace. Be willing to be taught what you really need and really want. The Teacher in your mind who knows you as you are and does not believe in the false image you have made of yourself will gently guide you to the full remembrance of your Self.

No effort is required. But vigilance is required because you have a long established habit of belief in an image that is not what you are. You need not try to change the image but you do need to be vigilant for peace so that your inner Teacher can change the image for you. Every moment of every day, every activity, every relationship is an opportunity to learn the truth about your Self. Step back into peace and let yourself be taught.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Put every image of separation you see on God’s Altar. There you will be shown the eternal Light beyond the image. There you will feel the peace and joy and Love of God. You will be shown that only Love is there.

This is your practice today. Your role is to hand every image of separation to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit’s role is to show you the truth. Enjoy the truth today.

In Peace You Know What and Where You Are

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Choose peace. Receive peace and you will just naturally extend the peace you are willing to receive.

Choosing peace brings you to the truth. Choosing peace and accepting peace naturally dissolves the ego illusions. It brings your mind into alignment with the truth. That is why the way to solve all problems is to choose peace first.

In peace you are able to see the Light of truth. You don’t take the world so seriously. You let go of your attachment to the things that you see in the world. The veil gets lifted so that you see the common Light that is behind all the images you see in the world. The common Light, the united Light, is all you want to see because you want to know the truth.

You are in Heaven now and so is everyone. God is. Love is. There is nothing else. All this comes to you as you are willing to choose peace first. This is letting go and letting God. This is forgiving the world from all you ever thought it was. This is your willingness to return to Heaven, which you never left. This is your willingness to be aware of Love’s presence, which is all that is real.

It all begins with your willingness to accept the Holy Spirit’s gift of peace. It opens the door to the Light which is your natural inheritance. It opens the door to the awareness of what is real. What is unreal just disappears in Its healing Light.

Your practice today is to put peace first. Relax and let the peace of the Holy Spirit take over.

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Let yourself be carried by the river of peace that is your Source and your strength. In peace you remember What you are. In peace you know your invulnerability. In peace you see Love because you remember you are Love. Flow with the river of peace today. It will carry you gently Home. In peace the dream of images will reflect the truth of What you are. And a happy day it will be indeed!

Let Go of Everything You Think You Know

Robert:
Today we read the beginning of Chapter 30 in the Text of A Course in Miracles. It reminded me that we are all constantly making decisions. We are unaware of most of the decisions we make. But in the rules for decision in chapter 30, we are given a way of thinking and making decisions to practice and make a habit. As the habit becomes strong, it will serve us both when we are consciously aware of making decisions and with the unconscious decisions.

This is why it is so important for me to start each day with a check-in with Spirit. It is a time I give myself to step back from my old habitual way of making decisions and viewing the world. I want to let go of that old habit because it has not brought me true happiness. I still need a daily reminder, a “reality check,” to bring me back toward alignment with what I really want — the peace of God.

I am grateful that I have been given the means to change my mind and to make my decisions with the guidance of my true Self, which will lead to lasting happiness. I am grateful for the infinite patience of my Self, the Holy Spirit, that is always standing by, ready to guide me the instant I am willing to receive. And so I dedicate another day to the practice of letting my Self guide me in every moment.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Rest in Me… Rest in peace… Let yourself rest… Let your mind rest… Let your mind rest in a place of stillness…

Let go of everything you think you know in the world… Let the Light that you are return to your awareness…

Let in the awareness that this same Light is what everyone is… Only the Light… Let yourself rest in this remembering…

See only Light… And you will see that only Love is there. Here is your rest. Here is the truth. Changeless Love… Changeless Light… Let yourself remember this truth today.

Let Go of What You Think You Are

Holy Spirit to Mary:
No matter what appears that you need to do today, practice letting go of what you think you know. Practice relaxing and letting go. Practice surrendering to the Light within and letting yourself be carried. Let whatever needs to be done be done through you, without you deciding what that “something” is.

The key in practicing this way of being is to begin with accepting the peace of your true Self. Practice accepting peace until you can feel it very fully. With peace comes a sense of gentleness, lightness and the feeling that all is well. As you focus on resting in God’s peace, what is most truly helpful naturally flows into your awareness. There is no efforting in this, no trying to make something happen. It just naturally comes on its own as you focus on accepting the peace of your true Nature. This is letting go and letting God. Practice this today.

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Let Me express through you today. You do this by allowing yourself to be in peace. Making your own plans for your safety or happiness interferes with your awareness of your natural state of peace. You think you need to make plans because of fear. You fear what might happen or you fear that you might not get what you think you want.

Fear and peace are mutually exclusive. Fear is the ego’s one emotion because the ego is the denial of Love. That is why it is essential that you are vigilant for peace. It is through your peace that I am able to work through you. Peace comes through the release of the denial of Love, the ego.

Your image of yourself is still closely tied to the ego so you do not remember the quiet joy of the peace of your true Self. But each time you remember to practice returning your attention to the peace you are, you take another invaluable step toward the full experience of your Self. Today offers you many opportunities to step forward into the truth of What you are by letting Me work through you in peace.

Put Out the Welcome Mat

Mary:
Today it is my job to surrender all I think I know. As I read A Course in Miracles I am reminded that in truth, I am the Light of the world and that forgiveness is my function as the Light of the world. What particularly stands out to me in this section is: “Let me be still before my holiness. In its calm light let all my conflicts disappear. In its peace let me remember Who I am.” (W-pI.81.1:3-5)

It can’t be more clear than that. As I am willing to forgive, or let go of all that I think I know, I leave an open space where true inspiration can enter. This is my job today — to let go of all I think I know and leave an open place of inner quiet where the Holy Spirit can enter. Being a “know-it-all” certainly has not worked. I am willing to be happy today and put out the welcome mat for the Holy Spirit Who does know that would bring me eternal happiness. This is my practice today.

Robert:
I want to remember Who I am. I open to that remembering by stepping back and letting Love lead the way. Today I will practice stepping back with each activity, whether it’s answering an email, talking on the phone or any other project. With stepping back and entering into peace, I let the inspiration of the one Self we all share be my guide. Each moment becomes an expression of Love. This is how I will remember Who I am.

Let Holy Spirit Lead

Holy Spirit to Robert:
In truth you have no needs. God gave you all of Himself in your creation. There is nothing else. You can experience this safety and abundance in this world when you let go of attempting to give the forms of the world any meaning. You do not need any form to be complete, nor to be safe or happy.

The more you align your thoughts with your true Self, the more at peace you will be, no matter what appears to be around you in form. Being Love, your true Self sees Love everywhere. Let your Self guide your vision today and you will know the joyous blessing of your unity with all your brothers and your Source.

Mary:
As I go to Spirit in quiet, I know that my real job is to let go and let God. This requires me to open my mind to receive the Holy Spirit’s gift of peace. If I am truly willing to let go and let God, I must be truly willing to accept His peace. His peace melts away all the worries and concerns that seem to pop up.

My job is to breathe deeply and let go… I may need to do this a hundred times today, but I know deep inside that this is my lesson: Step back and let the Holy Spirit lead the way. Relax… Choose peace… and let myself be led…. In quiet is every problem quietly resolved. I thank Holy Spirit for all the help I receive when I am willing.
