Making Way for Peace

Today let peace wash through you… Practice giving time throughout the day to let peace wash through your mind… Let yourself melt into the awareness that you are in a sea of peace… Let Holy Spirit’s gift of peace clear away all the cobwebs of ego thoughts that block awareness of Love’s Presence…

In truth, we all are in Heaven now. By frequently allowing time to accept peace, we make way to receive clear direction from the Voice for God. We are here to be truly helpful and we are most helpful when we are consistently open to receiving Holy Spirit’s gift of peace. Peace brings clarity and inspiration with it.

Learning to See Truly

Our practice for today is to see past every separate image to the Light of truth that lies beyond the image. Our practice for today is to recognize every separated image as a barrier to witnessing the Love that is really there. We need to let our inner Teacher show us what lies behind every separated image.

As we allow the Holy Spirit to transform our thoughts, we find our true Identity and the true Identity of every brother. Here is the source of our happiness. Here is the source of our eternal peace and joy. Today is an important day of practice in letting our minds be healed of all belief in separation.

To see past images of separation, we need to redirect our attention from what the body’s eyes show us to Holy Spirit’s vision. The body’s eyes cannot show us the Son of God, but only a false image that hides the truth of our brothers from our awareness. We are so accustomed to relying on the body’s eyes that it takes great vigilance to redirect our attention to the means for seeing truly.

We are not asked to deny that the body’s eyes see images of other bodies and things in the world. But we are asked to withdraw any value we give those images and place all value in what we see through the vision of Christ, the Holy Spirit’s gift. It is this shift in value that brings us healing from the belief in separation.

Seeing the Love in Every Brother

Beside you is one who offers you the chalice of Atonement, for the Holy Spirit is in him. Would you hold his sins against him, or accept his gift to you? Is this giver of salvation your friend or enemy? Choose which he is, remembering that you will receive of him according to your choice. He has in him the power to forgive your sin, as you for him. Neither can give it to himself alone. And yet your savior stands beside each one. Let him be what he is, and seek not to make of love an enemy.

Behold your Friend, the Christ Who stands beside you. How holy and how beautiful He is!” (A Course in Miracles T-19.IV.D.13:1-8;14:1-2)

In every moment we are choosing between seeing our brother as an enemy or a friend. If we are seeing him as a body, we are seeing him as an enemy because we are seeing him as separate from us. To see our brother truly as a Friend, we must disregard what the body’s eyes see and let the inner vision of Christ come forward.

It is this inner vision that recognizes our brother as our savior. This inner vision sees only innocence, because it knows only innocence. This inner vision is the vision of our true Self. Each time we lay judgment aside, we allow the vision of Love within to take its natural place in our awareness.

Entering into Love’s Presence

Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning. Yet you have come far enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its laws, and walk into eternity a while. This you will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy place and leaves you, for a moment, to your Self.

He will direct your practicing today, for what you ask for now is what He wills. And having joined your will with His this day, what you are asking must be given you. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.157.3:1-4:2)

We are eternally in the presence of Love. But choosing to believe in separation makes us unaware that we are Love and in Love. And so it seems that we need to do something to enter Love’s presence. Yet it is really undoing, removing the blocks we have made against the awareness of Love. Each time we allow our minds to quiet and welcome the peace of God, our self-made barriers against Love are weakened. The Light of Love shines through more brightly. We become more and more aware of Love’s presence everywhere, in everyone.

Today our practice is to be vigilant for peace that we may remember that we are eternally in Love’s presence. We enter Love’s presence through the door of peace.

Sharing the Miracle

The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is still. It reaches gently from that quiet time, and from the mind it healed in quiet then, to other minds to share its quietness. And they will join in doing nothing to prevent its radiant extension back into the Mind which caused all minds to be. Born out of sharing, there can be no pause in time to cause the miracle delay in hastening to all unquiet minds, and bringing them an instant’s stillness, when the memory of God returns to them. Their own remembering is quiet now, and what has come to take its place will not be wholly unremembered afterwards. (A Course in Miracles T-28.I.11)

In each moment we are following either the ego’s purpose or the Holy Spirit’s purpose. Our practice for today is to stop frequently and let our minds be still to receive the remembering of the Holy Spirit, the memory of God.

An unquiet mind is a sign of remembering the past. When we let our minds be still, the memory of the past fades and is replaced by the memory of God, the memory that we remain Love as Love created us. In that remembering we see our brothers in that same Light. We remember only Love is here now. This is how we share the miracle.

Receiving True Perception

Open your eyes today an look upon a happy world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the means by which it comes to take the place of hell. In quietness it rises up to greet your open eyes, and fill your heart with deep tranquility as ancient truths, forever newly-born, arise in your awareness. What you will remember then can never be described. Yet your forgiveness offers it to you. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.122.8)

Today is a day dedicated to being open to Holy Spirit to receive true perception. True perception is always helpful to Holy Spirit’s plan of awakening. It is all we want. It is all we need.

All seeming “challenges” in our lives stem from the mistaken perception of being separate from God. The Holy Spirit offers us the gift of true perception that shows us we remain in God and share all His attributes. His peace is ours. His joy inspires us to extend the Love He has given us.

True perception sees every brother at one with us, sharing all of God’s attributes. True perception shows us that only Love is real. In the certainty of true perception, we remember our changeless Self that is God’s Love.

The Certainty of Love

There is an ongoing temptation to make plans for the future. This is because the future seems uncertain. This uncertainty comes from the capricious nature of the ego, which is totally unstable. Uncertainty is a sign that we are believing in separation and the ego, instead of trusting in the changeless Love of God.

So the need to make plans is nothing more than a call for the certainty of Love. This world is filled with uncertainty because it is the denial of Love. Everyone in this world is in one way or another seeking for the changeless Love of God.

If we are using the ego as our guide, we will seek where Love cannot be found. But if we use the Voice for God as our Guide, we will find that Love and remember that we remain as God created us. Peace will replace uncertainty. Joy will replace unhappiness. Love will replace fear. Today we choose to listen to God’s Voice and experience the certainty of Love.
