Ending Doubt and Uncertainty

Doubt and uncertainty are sure signs that I have placed my faith where it is unwarranted. It means I am believing in an image of myself that is alone and on its own. A Course in Miracles assures me that I could never be alone because my true Self remains united with the one Mind of Love. The idea that I could be anything but this Self is just a false idea. Belief in what is false makes me unaware of truth, but does not change it.

Today I ask the truth in me for help to recognize the false and its meaninglessness. I ask for help to see past the images of the world, to set them aside so I can see the certainty of the reality of changeless Love. As I remember this, no situation in the world can disturb my peace. This is my focus for today.

Today my focus is on being willing to receive help when I find myself wrapped up in the images of the dream. The belief I place in these images is just showing me that I still have resistance to waking up. It is only through my willingness to accept Holy Spirit’s help that I am raised up above the conflicts of the world to see the fact that it is but a dream of separation and not real at all. Stepping back and accepting Holy Spirit’s help to return to the truth is all this day is for.

Seeing with Holy Spirit

All appearances in the world are meaningless because appearances are not real. Beyond all appearances is the reality of Love. If I want to know that I am Love, loved and lovable, I need to learn to look beyond all appearances to the reality of Love. My inner Teacher is ever present, ready to help me see the truth of Love everywhere.

Today my practice is to focus on the Love behind every appearance. If I think of someone, remember, only Love is there. If I pass by someone in a store isle, remember, only Love is there. If I see an image on television, remember, only Love is there. With this practice, I will remember only Love is here.

Today my practice is to pay attention to following Holy Spirit’s lead. Because I know nothing on my own, I need Holy Spirit’s Hand to guide me every step of the way. Today is a day of stepping back and following. I need the constant practice. And the Holy Spirit is always there when I am willing.

In God We Trust

I am able to place my trust in God only when I give the Holy Spirit the time during the day to transform my thinking. When I become wrapped up in the world’s stories, the tendency is to believe in the stories and get lost in them.

These stories always involve belief in vulnerability, lack and loss. It is only when I am willing to step back from these stories and give time to resting in the Holy Spirit’s peace that I am returned once again to the awareness that we are all safe in God and have never left. In truth nothing has happened to change God’s one Son. We are all safe in God’s Mind as Love and nothing else.

Giving time today to receiving Holy Spirit’s healing gifts of Love and peace is very important. I need to step back again and again and again today to receive Holy Spirit’s gift of the truth. This important practice is what this day is for.

The ego doesn’t trust anybody, especially God. That is why when I identify with the ego, I feel alone and vulnerable. But there is a part of my mind that remembers the unity and changelessness of my Home in God. It is this part in my mind that is always in peace, being certain of its safety and wholeness. It is this part of my mind that reminds me of What I am. This part of my mind that does trust in God because It knows that It remains one with God. This part of my mind always trusts in God. Today is an opportunity to focus my attention on the part of my mind that remembers.

The Light of God Is All There Is to See

Today it is my opportunity to accept Heaven where Heaven is — everywhere. When I think that something else is true, I am denying the reality of God. I am denying the reality of Heaven. Since only Heaven is real, when I pretend that Love’s opposite (separation) is real, I am sacrificing my awareness of Love’s Presence.

Today I let Holy Spirit bring me the thought reversal that frees me from the false ideas that were never true. The Holy Spirit will remind me that the Light of God is all there is to see. And for this I give thanks.

In many places in A Course in Miracles we are told that we are not a body. Belief that we are a body blocks awareness of Love’s Presence. Yet the dream provides convincing “evidence” that I am a body. I am separate, vulnerable and not one with anyone or anything. From the mindset that I am a body or even in a body, it is impossible to be aware that I remain within the oneness of Love’s Presence.

Fortunately there is a Thought within my mind that does not believe this story I tell myself. It is to this Thought that I must turn for help in reversing my belief in the story. To open my awareness to this Thought, I must allow myself to be in peace. I need to do whatever will help me relax, let go and settle into peace. In peace this Thought fills my mind and I clearly recognize that the images of separation are not real. In peace, this Thought shows me the oneness of Love’s Presence That is everywhere.

Today my practice is to stay in a peaceful state of mind so that the Thought That remembers the truth can help me see the Light of Love That is everywhere — the Light of Love That I am.

Accepting Love’s Presence Now

My practice for today is to stay in the present moment. Love’s Presence is here right now. Am I willing to accept God as God is right now? Am I willing to accept my Self as God create me right now? These are the same question. Everyone is still as God created them — whole, perfect and complete. Accepting this is my practice for today.

Happiness can be found only in the eternal Present. Happiness is my natural state, because God’s Will for me is perfect happiness. When I am happy, I am loving and at peace. I know I am safe. I know I am loved. I know all my needs are met. There is no need to plan for the future. As I practice accepting the gift of Love’s Presence now, I am accepting perfect happiness. I want nothing more because there is nothing more.

Seeing Changeless Love in Everyone

We have a mission here. We did not come to reinforce the madness that we once believed in. Let us not forget the goal that we accepted. It is more than just our happiness alone we came to gain. What we accept as what we are proclaims what everyone must be, along with us. Fail not your brothers, or you fail yourself. Look lovingly on them, that they may know that they are part of you, and you of them. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.139.9)

My practice for today is to recognize the changeless Love that is the truth of every brother I see or even think of. My practice for today is to apply this to every situation. What I seek for I will find, because it is always there when I look for it. This is the practice that brings me happiness and peace. And for this I give thanks.

The media is dominated by images of conflict, competition and attack. This lesson is telling me that I can see it differently. This is my true purpose. My job in the process of awakening is to practice letting the Holy Spirit, my true Self, help me see past these images to the Love that is ever present. Love cannot be harmed. Being one, Love cannot be in conflict or in competition.

As I practice this way of seeing, I teach myself that my own Identity is Love, along with everyone’s Identity. This is how I accept Atonement for myself and all my brothers. It is this I would teach and learn today.

All Our Needs Are Met

We are eternally carried by the Love of God, the Love that is our only need. And since God guarantees His Love eternally, lack is impossible.

The perception of lack or potential loss can only come with the denial of God’s Love, which means the denial of What I am. So if I experience fear of loss or a sense of being deprived of anything, I am simply deceiving myself. I need my beliefs corrected. And the Corrector is always ready to help me change my mind.

My practice today is to be alert for signs of fear or perception of lack, and to bring them to the loving Corrector for His gentle reminder that all my needs are met in the changeless Love of God. With this practice, I will be certain that I am being carried in the safety of God’s Love.

My opportunity today is to practice not taking the world so seriously. It is a made-up world that is not true. All of God’s children remain pure Love as God created them. The wild imaginings based on separation from Love are simply not true. Today I have another opportunity to place my trust in God’s oneness instead of placing my trust in the world of separation. I have another opportunity to see past the stories of the world to the truth that only Love is real.
