The Memory of God Comes to the Quiet Mind

The memory of God comes to the quiet mind. It cannot come where there is conflict, for a mind at war against itself remembers not eternal gentleness.

The war against yourself was undertaken to teach the Son of God that he is not himself, and not his Father’s Son. For this, the memory of his Father must be forgotten. It is forgotten in the body’s life, and if you think you are a body, you will believe you have forgotten it. Yet truth can never be forgotten by itself, and you have not forgotten what you are. Only a strange illusion of yourself, a wish to triumph over what you are, remembers not.

Let all this madness be undone for you, and turn in peace to the remembrance of God, still shining in your quiet mind.” (A Course in Miracles T-23.I.1:1-2;5:1-5;8:9)

Our true Nature is remembered as we practice letting our mind quiet. When we want God’s peace above all else, that is what we will find. In truth we are God’s peace. In truth we have never left our Father’s Mind. We have never left the one Mind of Love. We still reside in Love as Love. And this is true about every brother, eternally.

Today we practice letting our minds return to Love. In this sacred place, we receive inspiration in how to be truly helpful to every brother as we wake up from the dream of separation. We heal as we accept the healing truth that Love is One and never could be divided. We live in joy as we accept the eternal truth today.

What Am I and Where Am I In Truth?

You cannot be anywhere God did not put you, and God created you as part of Him. That is both where you are and what you are. It is completely unalterable. It is total inclusion.

God created His Sons by extending His Thought, and retaining the extensions of His Thought in His Mind. All His Thoughts are thus perfectly united within themselves and with each other. The Holy Spirit enables you to perceive this wholeness now. God created you to create. You cannot extend His Kingdom until you know of its wholeness. (A Course in Miracles T-6.II.6:2-5;8)

Today let us remember our wholeness. Let us remember we are Love and nothing else. Let us remember What we are and Where we are eternally. Let us remember we are all part of Him, with no exclusions. With this remembrance we see Love and nothing else.

Joining with Jesus

In the Course Jesus asks us to join with him that we may be aware of his healing perspective as we go through our day. Today we practice quiet listening and receptiveness to hear the truth about ourselves and every brother. Today is a day of quiet listening. Today we focus on our willingness to hear the truth instead of dwelling on illusions of separation.

Jesus is a symbol of an awakened mind, of believing in no illusion and seeing only Love, only innocence. It doesn’t matter what label we give this symbol. But our ultimate purpose is to let go of all belief in illusions and join with the one Mind of Love that unites us as the Son of God. This letting go begins with quiet listening so that we can be taught that we are already joined with all our brothers. There is no place for guilt or fear when we see only Love.

Let Go and Let God

At God’s altar Christ waits for the restoration of Himself in you. God knows His Son as wholly blameless as Himself, and He is approached through the appreciation of His Son. Christ waits for your acceptance of Him as yourself, and of His Wholeness as yours. For Christ is the Son of God, Who lives in His Creator and shines with His glory. Christ is the extension of the Love and the loveliness of God, as perfect as His Creator and at peace with Him.

Blessed is the Son of God whose radiance is of his Father, and whose glory he wills to share as his Father shares it with him. There is no condemnation in the Son, for there is no condemnation in the Father. Sharing the perfect Love of the Father the Son must share what belongs to Him, for otherwise he will not know the Father or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in God, and in whom the whole Sonship rests. (A Course in Miracles T-11.IV.7-8)

The way to let go and let God is to accept God’s gift of peace in the present moment. Taking the time to accept God’s peace is the bridge to letting the Holy Spirit undo the ego in your mind. Welcoming peace means welcoming the transformed mind. It is welcoming our one true Self That we share with all our brothers.

This welcoming is done in the present moment. We always get what we truly want in our heart of hearts. As we truly welcome God’s peace, we return to our one Identity as God’s Son and allow God’s Love to flow through us. As we let go and let God, we release all judgment and find true happiness.

Finding the Peace of God Within

Why wait for Heaven? Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all.

Sit quietly and close your eyes. The light within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer world, and let your thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the way. For honest thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things outside yourself, become the holy messengers of God Himself. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.188.1:1-4;6)

It’s interesting to observe how my habitual thoughts about things in the world distract me from being aware of the peace of God within. That is their purpose.

The ego thought system does not want us to be aware of the peace of God within, because to do that we have to put the ego aside. It can no longer be in control. The experience of the peace of God is so compelling that, if we let it in, we would fly to it and let the ego go.

While thoughts of the world still seem to have appeal, our practice is to pause frequently throughout the day to welcome peace. Even if we are not able to completely set aside thoughts of the world, this practice loosens their grip and will ultimately lead to the acceptance of God’s peace, returning us to Heaven where we belong.

Accept the Quietness of Heaven

The Holy Spirit mediates between illusions and the truth. Since He must bridge the gap between reality and dreams, perception leads to knowledge through the grace that God has given Him, to be His gift to everyone who turns to Him for truth.

Accept your Father’s gift. It is a Call from Love to Love, that It be but Itself. The Holy Spirit is His gift, by which the quietness of Heaven is restored to God’s beloved Son. Would you refuse to take the function of completing God, when all He wills is that you be complete? (A Course in Miracles W-pII.7.1:1-2;5:1-4)

This world is a world of turmoil because it is a dream of constant change. It is impossible to experience the peace of Heaven in this world because true peace can be found only in the changelessness of Love.

We made the ability to perceive in order to see the projected world of separation and individuality. Projection makes perception.

By the grace of God, the ability to perceive can be redirected through the Holy Spirit to see the face of Christ, the face of innocence. Under the Holy Spirit’s guidance, our perception becomes the means by which we forgive everything in the dream. It is how we pass by the dream so that we can once again accept and experience the quietness of Heaven.

Today our focus is to let the Holy Spirit guide all our perceptions.

Returning to Peace Eternal

Let us think about all things we saved to settle by ourselves, and kept apart from healing. Let us give them all to Him Who knows the way to look upon them so that they will disappear. Truth is His message; truth His teaching is. His are the lessons God would have us learn.

Let no one hour cast its shadow on the one that follows, and when that one goes, let everything that happened in its course go with it. Thus will you remain unbound, in peace eternal in the world of time.

This is the lesson God would have you learn: There is a way to look on everything that lets it be to you another step to Him, and to salvation of the world. To all that speaks of terror, answer thus:

I will forgive, and this will disappear.

To every apprehension, every care and every form of suffering, repeat these selfsame words. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.193.11:4-7;12:4-5;13:1-4)

Because we are still as God created us, we live in peace eternally. When we are in peace, we are aware that we are one with all Love, because God has shared all His Love with the whole Sonship.

Today we would let all thoughts that are not of God be healed through our forgiveness. Today is another day of letting go and accepting Holy Spirit’s lessons of forgiveness. This is how we help ourselves, along with all our brothers, to return to peace eternal. This is how we return to our one true Identity as one with all Love.
