Choosing to Be Free

Every brother you meet becomes a witness for Christ or for the ego, depending on what you perceive in him. Everyone convinces you of what you want to perceive, and of the reality of the kingdom you have chosen for your vigilance. Everything you perceive is a witness to the thought system you want to be true. Every brother has the power to release you, if you choose to be free. (A Course in Miracles T-11.V.18:1-4)

Our practice for today is to choose freedom instead of the tyranny of the ego. We are all surrounded and enfolded in the Light of the one Christ Mind. Whether we choose to recognize It is up to us in each moment of the day. Accepting the peace and Love of the Christ Mind, our real Mind, is how we find our freedom. We become witnesses for Christ instead of the ego’s images of separate bodies. We become witnesses to Love’s all-encompassing oneness instead of the ego’s belief in separation from God. We choose to be free today by becoming witnesses for God and His eternal Light.

We witness for God by demonstrating that we accept the oneness of the Love that we are. With this acceptance, we see only Love in our brother and identify only with the loving Self that we are. With this acceptance, we experience the joyous flow of Love to Love, seeing no distance or separation between us and our brothers. This is the happiness God wills for us.

Letting Christ Express Through Us

It cannot be that it is hard to do the task that Christ appointed you to do, since it is He Who does it. And in the doing of it will you learn the body merely seems to be the means to do it. For the Mind is His. And so it must be yours. His Holiness directs the body through the mind at one with Him. (A Course in Miracles T-25.I.1:1-5)

All efforting comes from thinking we are separate and alone. That belief in separation denies the strength of Christ in us. It denies that we remain as God created us. It denies that we share God’s Will.

All this denial is tiring. It leaves us drained at the end of the day so that we have to rest the body that is the symbol of this separation. All we need to do to be revitalized in truth is to accept the Life that is already in us and is What we are in truth.

With this acceptance we no longer need to defend against or fear the Will of God. In fact we joyously accept this Will, which is our happiness. When we accept this Will we share with God, we accept the Christ that we are and all our doing becomes simply a matter of letting Christ express through us. There is nothing else to do. Today we practice stepping back and letting Christ express through us.

Let Him Lead the Way

Let Him evaluate each thought that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them back again as clean ideas that do not contradict the Will of God.

…Now has our ministry begun at last, to carry round the world the joyous news that truth has no illusions, and the peace of God, through us, belongs to everyone. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.151.13:4,17:3)

If we want to be happy, we need to let go of trying to interpret anything on our own. Believing that we are on our own is the denial of happiness because it is the denial of the Self that God created as His Son. This is why the practice of letting the Holy Spirit, our true Self, be the Interpreter of everything is the key to happiness. He knows that nothing that the body’s senses perceive means anything and looks past it to the truth that is the Spirit of Love in everyone and everything. It is the recognition of this that brings happiness. We want to be happy and so our practice today is to put the Holy Spirit to the forefront of our minds as our preferred Interpreter in every moment. This is how we let Him lead the way.
