Listen as a Little Child

Because the ego sets up a constant flow of problems when it is dominant in our minds, the ego cannot be the true source to solve our perceived problems. The only true solution is to step back and be as a little child, opening to the guidance of our inner Teacher. Our inner Teacher goes past the realm of time and space to the truth of the eternal now. Our inner Teacher goes past our ego stories of constant problems. As we are willing, It brings us to the eternal peace and sense of well being that comes with accepting our true Nature.

As we are willing to be quiet and listen, we are inspired as to what would be truly helpful in every circumstance. So our practice today is to allow time for quiet listening and be as a little child, remembering we have all the help we need as we let go of trying to solve problems on our own.

Remembering to See as God Sees

The world I see holds my fearful self-image in place, and guarantees its continuance. While I see the world as I see it now, truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let the door behind this world be opened for me, that I may look past it to the world that reflects the Love of God.

In my own mind, behind all my insane thoughts of separation and attack, is the knowledge that all is one forever. I have not lost the knowledge of Who I am because I have forgotten it. It has been kept for me in the Mind of God, Who has not left His Thoughts. And I, who am among them, am one with them and one with Him.” (A Course in Miracles W-pI.56.3:2-4.5:2-5)

Let me remember that today is for mind healing. I have been used to believing in what the body’s eyes show me. Now my purpose is to let the door be opened so that the Light of God can show me the Love behind the images of this world. I let the door be opened by wanting to see with the eyes of Christ. I will see as Love sees as I am willing to want this above all else. God has not left my mind just because I have forgotten It. I will be shown a new way of seeing as I allow it. This is what today is for.

The foundation of forgiveness is the recognition that everything the body’s eyes see is not true. That means I must remove my belief in what the body’s eyes see and give full attention to the vision of Christ. This vision opens the door behind this world to show me the Love that is ever-present.

Seeing Past the Dream

Let us be still an instant, and forget all things we ever learned, all thoughts we had, and every preconception that we hold of what things mean and what their purpose is. Let us remember not our own ideas of what the world is for. We do not know. Let every image held of everyone be loosened from our minds and be swept away.

Be innocent of judgment, unaware of any thoughts of evil or of good that ever crossed your mind of anyone. Now do you know him not. But you are free to learn of him, and learn of him anew. Now is he born again to you, and you are born again to him, without the past that sentenced him to die, and you with him. Now is he free to live as you are free, because an ancient learning passed away, and left a place for truth to be reborn. (A Course in Miracles T-31.I.12-13)

Today my practice is to be willing to see past the dream of separate bodies. This practice takes vigilance. I must step back from all I think I know and open to a different way of seeing. If I am willing, the Holy Spirit shows me what is true beyond the dream — the constant presence of God’s eternal Love. Here I find peace. Here I find the truth. Today is for expanding my willingness to see past the dream by opening up to my inner Teacher Who is always there to show me the eternal truth.

It’s interesting to observe how habitually my first response in any situation is to look to my past learning for help to understand the present. This is the ego defense against seeing the present as it is. The truth is only in the present. And this the ego would avoid at all costs. I am grateful that this defensive habit can be broken. I have a mighty Companion in my mind Who brings the strength of God to help me when I am willing to consider another way of seeing. I am not left on my own. In fact it is believing I am on my own that keeps me repeating the cycles of the past.

Father, today I am willing to accept Your help through your Voice in my mind to see all things as You would see them. Thank you for your gift of strength and peace.

The Blessing of Following Holy Spirit

When the Holy Spirit has at last led you to Christ at the altar to His Father, perception fuses into knowledge because perception has become so holy that its transfer to holiness is merely its natural extension. Love transfers to love without any interference, for the two are one. As you perceive more and more common elements in all situations, the transfer of training under the Holy Spirit’s guidance increases and becomes generalized. Gradually you learn to apply it to everyone and everything, for its applicability is universal. (A Course in Miracles T-12.VI.6:3-6)

The Holy Spirit will show me the Love behind every form, every situation, if I let Him. Today’s practice is to allow Holy Spirit’s blessings into my mind. The Holy Spirit knows how to help me see past separation to oneness. Every situation is another opportunity to step back and let Love show me the way to true happiness. I am willing to let Holy Spirit show me how to be truly happy. I am willing to let Holy Spirit take me past fear thoughts to the abundance of God’s Love.

When I join with the Holy Spirit and let Him show me the radiance of God’s Love that is everywhere around me, I feel Love’s joyful blessing. I look at a brother and my heart is filled with joy. It doesn’t matter whether I have ever seen the image of this brother before or what the image looks like because when I am aligned with Holy Spirit, I use a vision that has no past except the eternal extension of Love. With this vision, I feel Love’s blessing and I rest in quiet joy. Today I practice joining with the Holy Spirit’s true vision.

What Am I and Where Am I in Truth?

In truth I am pure Spirit. I am God’s Light, along with every brother. In truth, we all are the same Light. There is no separation and there is no distance between us. We all come from the same Mind of Love and remain as we were created. In truth, nothing has happened to change God’s one beloved Son. Nothing has happened to change Love’s eternal extension of Itself.

My practice is to return to the truth as frequently as possible today. My practice is to allow an open mind where the miracle of the truth can heal every false idea that comes up for healing. Mind healing is what today is for. And I let the Holy Spirit be in charge of this. My job is to step back with an open mind and receive the miracle.And for this I give thanks.

My focus for today is to remember that I am not a body and nothing the body’s eyes show me is true. When I remember this, my mind is open to receive the Holy Spirit’s way of seeing. This is how I am open to receive the miracle.

Teachers of Innocence

Teachers of innocence, each in his own way, have joined together, taking their part in the unified curriculum of the Atonement.… Join your own efforts to the power that cannot fail and must result in peace. No one can be untouched by teaching such as this.… From everyone whom you accord release from guilt you will inevitably learn your innocence. The circle of Atonement has no end. And you will find ever-increasing confidence in your safe inclusion in the circle with everyone you bring within its safety and its perfect peace. (A Course in Miracles T-14.V.6:1,7:1-2,5-7)

Our practice for today is to step back and open to Holy Spirit’s river of peace… As we continue to accept Holy Spirit’s peace, we see only innocence… The clouds that hide the truth are dissipated through accepting peace, and we are able to see past the clouds to the innate, eternal innocence that is always there.

This practice of stepping back and opening to Holy Spirit’s peace is worth the effort. As we accept peace we become teachers of peace… teachers of seeing only innocence. With this practice heal and are healed.

Let Me Remember…

This is our prayer for today:
Peace to my mind… Let all my thoughts be still… In truth I am blessed as a Son of God… Let me remember that I am still Love in the Mind of Love… Let me remember that every brother is joined with me in the one Mind of Love… Let me see my brother as the Love he is… Let me rest in the truth today… Amen.
