Returning to the Harmony of Spirit

Sometimes our thoughts can get into a tangled mess, like when our hair gets all messed up. If we ask, our Inner Teacher can comb out our thoughts and take the knots out so that they are smooth and in harmony again. Our Sacred Self brings peace into our lives.

The more you practice going to your Inner Teacher for clarity, the easier it comes and flows with perfect synchronicity. Your sense of gratitude increases. Your sense of safety and well-being expands. You are being gently led Home by your Inner Teacher, Who is always there for you. (from Listen and Receive 30-Day Home Study Program, Week 4, p. 3. Click here for more information about Listen and Receive.)

Our natural state is in perfect harmony with Love, our Source. We are in perfect harmony with the Love that is the truth in everyone and everything. When we feel out of harmony, discouraged, disgruntled, unhappy or afraid, it is only because we are believing that we are separate from our Source.

To return to harmony, we need only ask for and accept the guidance of our Inner Teacher. With our willingness, we return to our natural state and experience the peace of God. This is our practice for today.

Receiving the Gifts Forgiveness Offers

Today it will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers, and the joy the lifting of the veil holds out to you.

Before the light you will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world arise you have no words to picture. Now we walk directly into light, and we receive the gifts that have been held in store for us since time began, kept waiting for today. (A Course in Miracles, T-pI.122.11:2-12:2)

Right now is the time to receive God’s gifts. The Holy Spirit has been patiently waiting for our willingness to return to the truth. This time is now.

Peace, happiness and joy are the gifts that are eternally ours. Through forgiveness, letting go of judgment, we let that time be now. Peace, joy and happiness are in our mind waiting to be received as we are willing to let the veil of separation be lifted. We receive these gifts and share them with all.

Seeing Through the Lens of Our Inner Teacher

Today we recognize that we want to see the world the way our inner Teacher sees it. We want to see past what is false to the truth that is always there. We place our trust in the knowing of our inner Teacher today. We step back and listen to Its perspective. We are willing to let our minds be healed and be instruments of extending our inner Teacher’s peace.

We are grateful for all the help we receive as our willingness increases. We have only one purpose today and that is to be receptive to our inner Teacher and to extend what we are learning to everyone.

From Uncertainty to Safety

In the world there are myriad forms of “threats” to our safety and well being. This is inherent in the ego’s basic idea of separation. The body’s eyes focus on these forms, being unable to see beyond appearances.

Gratefully we have in our minds the means to see beyond the appearances of form. The Holy Spirit brings us the Vision of Christ, which sees the Love of God everywhere without regard to the appearances in form. In the oneness of that Love, there is perfect safety. There is nothing real that can change God’s eternal Love.

As we can learn to see with the Vision of Christ, we will see the Presence of Love everywhere, in everything and in everyone. As we let this Vision guide us in each moment, the sense of uncertainty and danger fades, and we feel the comfort and peace of changeless Love more and more. This Loving Presence will guide our doing in the world so that what the ego once used to reinforce the sense of weakness and threat is now used to bring blessing and the experience of God’s strength in us.

Our practice today is to be open to the Vision of Christ and let It guide us, moment by moment.

Salvation’s Prayer

Father, You stand before me and behind, beside me, in the place I see myself, and everywhere I go. You are in all the things I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own. In You time disappears, and place becomes a meaningless belief. For what surrounds Your Son and keeps him safe is Love itself. There is no source but this, and nothing is that does not share its holiness; that stands beyond Your one creation, or without the Love which holds all things within itself. Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to You in Your Own Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.264.1)

Today we let opening to God’s Love be our highest priority. We are willing to accept the truth of Love’s Presence in everything we see or think of. Love’s Presence is beyond form, but ever present everywhere. And for this we are in deep gratitude. In gratitude we welcome the truth in our brothers and see it in ourselves.

Are We Willing to Follow?

Do we want to be happy? Are we willing to follow Holy Spirit’s guidance? These questions are the same. The Holy Spirit’s function is to guide us to the truth of What we are. What we are is eternally happy because we share God’s joy.

The old habit is to ask the ego first for its interpretation of what we see and to ask it what to do. Yet experience has shown that the ego never leads us to joy. In fact, it leads us in the opposite direction to guilt, fear and pain. Some things in the world do seem to bring temporary happiness. But these appearances are illusions that never last.

Thankfully we have another Guide Whose purpose is to lead us back to the joy of our true Self. We need not be afraid of it. The Holy Spirit’s guidance demands no sacrifice. We need only be willing to relinquish all our judgments and let the Holy Spirit judge on our behalf. His judgment is very simple. If it is not changeless Love, it is not real. When we accept the Holy Spirit’s judgment, it is very easy to let go of misperceptions, which clears the away for the acceptance of the joy of our being as Love.

Today our practice is to hold our minds open to the Holy Spirit’s lead with willingness to follow.

Accepting the Gift of Joy

The Holy Spirit is in you in a very literal sense. His is the Voice that calls you back to where you were before and will be again. It is possible even in this world to hear only that Voice and no other. It takes effort and great willingness to learn. It is the final lesson that I learned, and God’s Sons are as equal as learners as they are as Sons. (A Course in Miracles, T-5.II.3:7-11)

Today we make the choice to hear Holy Spirit’s Voice all through the day. Today we are vigilant for the truth. Today we receive truth and give what we receive. The whole Sonship is equally God’s one Son, and we are willing to recognize this truth today.

The Holy Spirit’s Voice is the Call to joy. If we want to be happy, we must be willing to hear this Call to joy. Today’s practice of listening to the Holy Spirit’s Voice is the practice of receiving God’s gift of joy. It is the practice that leads us to perfect happiness.

Each step we take in opening to the Call to joy motivates us to be willing to receive more. As we receive the joy, we naturally want to extend it to all, for joy cannot be contained. Today’s practice is a step toward accepting the gift of joy that is our inheritance as God’s Son.
