Making Way for Truth to Be Reborn

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)

Holding on to our learning from the past is a defense against the truth. Whenever we think we know on our own what anything means, we are drawing upon our past learning and denying the truth. It is this habit that must be undone to make way for the truth, and the happiness and peace that comes with it.

If we want to be happy, we have to clear the way for truth to be reborn in our minds. The Holy Spirit is in our minds to help us do this. We have one simple task: To be vigilant for all attempts to give meaning on our own and offer them to Holy Spirit with willingness to receive His meaning in their place. This is how we let truth be reborn in our minds. By taking away the defenses that have kept the truth that is eternally there from our awareness, we make way for truth’s acceptance.

Learning of Our Innocence

Whenever you are in doubt what you should do, think of His Presence in you, and tell yourself this, and only this:

He leadeth me and knows the way, which I know not. Yet He will never keep from me what He would have me learn. And so I trust Him to communicate to me all that He knows for me.

Then let Him teach you quietly how to perceive your guiltlessness, which is already there. (A Course in Miracles T-14.III.19)

To perceive truly, we must see only innocence. The Holy Spirit is in our minds to teach us this way of seeing. When we see only innocence, we experience the deep peace of knowing that harm is impossible and we are safe in Love. When we see only innocence, we see only Love.

The practice of asking Holy Spirit within to show us the truth of innocence and Love in every circumstance is the path to awakening. It is how we remember Who we are in truth. Today we practice letting ourselves join with Holy Spirit’s vision and see our brother as our Self.

Receiving God’s Peace and Comfort

His gentle Voice is calling from the known to the unknowing. He would comfort you, although He knows no sorrow. He would make a restitution, though He is complete; a gift to you, although He knows that you have everything already. He has Thoughts which answer every need His Son perceives, although He sees them not. For Love must give, and what is given in His Name takes on the form most useful in a world of form. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.186.13)

Our practice for today is to be still and listen. Our practice is to be willing to receive peace and extend peace. Our practice is to be willing to see past dreams to the truth of our eternal oneness. Every minute of this day is another opportunity to let God’s Will be done through us. And we give thanks.

Let Us Reflect Heaven’s Love Today

Today we go with God’s Love in our hearts and in our minds. As we receive God’s Thoughts in our hearts and minds, we naturally extend Love to everyone. We feel the joy of giving as we have received. We feel the peace of God’s uncomplicated, all inclusive Love. We feel the safety and trust in knowing that God’s Love is everywhere. We accept Heaven as Heaven is. We reflect Heaven’s Love today.

We Are All the Same Spirit of Love

You are the spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father’s Love and peace and joy. You are the spirit which completes Himself, and shares His function as Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him.

Give Him the minutes which He needs today, to help you understand with Him you are the spirit that abides in Him, and that calls through His Voice to every living thing; offers His sight to everyone who asks; replaces error with the simple truth. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.97.2:2-3;4:4)

The path to peace is through forgiveness. As we accept Holy Spirit’s sight, we see past appearances in the world to the one Light we share with everyone in God. This Light is not seen with the body’s eyes. It is the vision that comes with accepting that we are Spirit, one with the Spirit of Love That created us.

With this vision, all judgment is laid aside and guilt along with it. As we remember that we are Spirit, we are at peace. We know that nothing is outside of Spirit, harm is impossible and we experience the joy of extending Love to all. This is the gift we give ourselves when we remember that we are Spirit.

Accepting God’s Eternal Calm

Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances. It will lift you out of every trial, and raise you high above all the perceived dangers of this world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It will transport you into a state of mind that nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb, and where nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of God.

Put not your faith in illusions. They will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God within you; eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the answer to whatever confronts you today. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.50.3:1-4:4)

Today we let our minds sink into a place of inner peace… Today we practice letting peace lead the way… As we open to God’s gift of peace, we become aware of Holy Spirit’s inspiration in how to be truly helpful… As we choose peace in the present moment, all that is not important fades away… In peace we know that “nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of God.”… We remember that the Love of God is all that is important and all that sustains us…

Listening to the Voice for God

Listen in deep silence. Be very still and open your mind. Go past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts and obscure your eternal link with God. Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and sights and sounds of this insane world. You do not live here. We are trying to reach your real home. We are trying to reach the place where you are truly welcome. We are trying to reach God. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.49.4)

God’s eternal message to us is, “You are welcome Here.” He created us as part of Himself and has never changed His mind about us. When we choose to identify with separation, we believe we are unwelcome to God. But this is just a projection of our own rejection of God’s gift of His perfect Love.

This is why it is important to practice listening in deep silence. As we lay aside the cacophony of the ego’s thoughts, we make way for the simple certainty of God’s Love to return to our awareness. This is all we really need because this is What we are. This is how we remember that we are sustained by God’s Love and we can relax into His certain care.
