I Will There Be Light

Today we reviewed Workbook Lesson 73, “I will there be Light.” This is not saying that we need to make Light happen. It is simply acknowledging what our will is. Our will is God’s Will, which is Light. The only reason we don’t experience the Light that is our will is because we are hiding from it by hanging on to grievances, aka judgments.

It is helpful to recognize the signs that we are covering the Light with grievances. Sadness, impatience, frustration, struggle, pain, unworthiness, fear and anger are some of the symptoms of holding on to grievances. These grievances hide the eternal Light within, making us unaware of It. We see our grievances reflected back to us by a darkened world, which shows us seeming justification for our grievances.

But as we lay down our grievances, the Light within begins to shine through and we see more and more reflections of Love (Light) in the world. Sans grievances, the world becomes a happy place of joining with our brothers in the oneness of our shared Self, the one Son of God.

Today’s practice is to be vigilant for signs of grievances and, with each one, remind ourselves, “I will there be Light. Darkness is not my will.”

Carried in the Infinite Love of God

Father, I give all that is mine today to Christ, to use in any way that best will serve the purpose that I share with Him. Nothing is mine alone, for He and I have joined in purpose. Thus has learning come almost to its appointed end. A while I work with Him to serve His purpose. Then I lose myself in my Identity, and recognize that Christ is but my Self. (A Course in Miracles W-pII.353.1:1-5)

In our practicing today, we go past words to accepting our beingness in the Love we are. We rest in God’s Love today, trusting that we are being carried in the most beneficial way to serve the awakening of the Sonship. We are carried because we remain eternally within the infinite Love of God. We place our trust in Love’s laws today and return to the peace of our Father.

Seeing Past Bodies to Love’s Oneness

Believing we are a body, or even in a body, is totally debilitating. The body is a wall that isolates us from All That Is. With this limitation, we are unaware of the Thought of Love we share with God; We are unaware of the Love we share with all our brothers. It is frightening and lonely to believe we are within this wall of separation.

The good news is that this seemingly impenetrable wall is just a false belief. A belief can always be changed. We do not have to be limited by any belief. We have the means to let go of every false belief. This means is forgiveness with the help of the Holy Spirit, our true Self. Our part in the forgiveness process is to bring each thought of guilt to the Holy Spirit, with willingness to receive His vision.

His vision will show us the timeless Love that is everywhere, beyond the images of fear and pain and loss. His vision shows us that Love surrounds us in peace and safety. The Holy Spirit is ever present in our minds, ready to help us transform our mistaken beliefs into the recognition of our oneness in Love.

Today’s practice is to be mindful of thoughts reflecting the false belief in separation and give them to the Holy Spirit in our minds. With willingness, we will receive a new vision that shows us that we remain the Love that Love created us to be.

Be Children of the Truth Today

Let us today be children of the truth, and not deny our holy heritage. Our life is not as we imagine it. Who changes life because he shuts his eyes, or makes himself what he is not because he sleeps, and sees in dreams an opposite to what he is? We will not ask for death in any form today. Nor will we let imagined opposites to life abide even an instant where the Thought of life eternal has been set by God Himself. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.167.10)

To deny our heritage given us by God is to deny perfect happiness, changeless peace and all encompassing eternal Love. That sounds like a description of Heaven, and it is.

The dream of being in a world of separate bodies and separate forms is the denial of our inheritance. We can make another choice. We can accept that we are born of truth, of Love. We can accept that we dwell in joyous unity with All That Is. We can accept that nothing and no one are apart from us, and therefore we are perfectly safe. There is no “other” that could threaten What we are. To be a child of the truth is to accept our Father as He is, and thus accept our Self as we are.

To remember that we are children of the truth, our practice today is to be attentive to Holy Spirit’s vision. He will show us that all our “siblings,” our fellow children of the truth, are one with us and with our Source. And we will walk the day in gratitude.

Learn to Lay All Fear Aside

Your Father loves you. All the world of pain is not His Will. Forgive yourself the thought He wanted this for you. Then let the Thought with which He has replaced all your mistakes enter the darkened places of your mind that thought the thoughts that never were His Will.

…Let in the light, and you will look upon no obstacle to what He wills for you.

…Turn to Him Who shares your function here, and let Him teach you what you need to learn to lay all fear aside, and know your Self as Love which has no opposite in you. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.99.7:3-6;8:3;9:8)

The Holy Spirit knows how to walk untouched through every dream we think is real. The Holy Spirit will teach us to see every circumstance through the eyes of Love. As we let the Light of Love in, we see how to be truly helpful in every situation. We disregard what doesn’t matter. Love works through us bringing blessing and healing to everyone as all fear is laid aside. We respond to all situations from Love instead of fear.

We Are Home in God

You are safe. You are innocent. You are loved. You are Home in God. All this is true because you are still as God created you.

Remembering this for ourselves means remembering this for everyone. This means everyone is safe. Everyone is innocent. Everyone is loved. Everyone is Home in God’s loving Mind.

This is our practice for today: To be mindful of thoughts that do not reflect this truth and let them go. We have all the Help we need to forgive every false idea that shows up in our minds. We let ourselves be carried to the truth today with the help of our one true Self, the Holy Spirit.

Being Willing to Listen to Love’s Voice

There is not a moment in which God’s Voice ceases to call on my forgiveness to save me. There is not a moment in which His Voice fails to direct my thoughts, guide my actions and lead my feet. I am walking steadily on toward truth. There is nowhere else I can go, because God’s Voice is the only Voice and the only Guide that has been given to His Son. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.60.4:2-5)

It’s comforting to remember that Love’s Voice speaks to us throughout the day. We are never without all the guidance we need in every moment. If we don’t experience this guidance, it is simply because we have chosen not to listen to Love’s Voice.

Forgiveness is the way we choose to listen. Each time we are willing to bring an unforgiving thought — a fear, a sadness, a sense of uncertainty — to the Holy Spirit, we remove a muffler that has made His Voice seem hard to hear. The Course tells us that the Holy Spirit’s Voice is as loud as our willingness to listen.

Willingness to offer all unforgiving thoughts to the Holy Spirit is willingness to let our thoughts be directed and our feet led on the path to joy. Our practice today is to be mindful of all unforgiving thoughts and to offer them to the Holy Spirit with willingness to let them be corrected.
