Making Our Connection with Holy Spirit Our Highest Priority

We have been trained to ask of everything, “What is this for?” Is it to reinforce illusions, or to remove the barriers to the awareness of Love’s Presence?

The Holy Spirit is our constant Companion Whose purpose is to being us out of the prison house of the ego thought system and return us to our true inheritance as a child of God. The Holy Spirit, as our best Friend, returns us to everlasting peace and happiness. The Holy Spirit removes the struggle and helps us see with clarity and true understanding.

Today we are willing to join with our best Friend, our constant Companion, and receive the gift of freedom from fear, pain and suffering that is being offered. Today we listen and receive the truth that we all are still Love and nothing else. And for this we are eternally grateful.

Choosing What Is True

Your mind is constantly active, constantly thinking, constantly choosing, and is ruled by its past habits, tendencies, and experiences. Unless corrected it will simply repeat the past and reinforce the hold the past has on the present. You must continually correct your mind in the present by being aware of its activity, and consciously choosing what is true, again and again, with the help of the Holy Spirit. This constant correction is fundamental and absolutely necessary. (From the Christ Mind p. 93. Click here for more information about this book.)

The Holy Spirit is with us all through the day, whether we are aware of It or not. To free ourselves from the bondage of the ego thought system, we must be willing to become aware of the Holy Spirit’s gentle correction throughout the day. This takes some vigilance because the ego mind defends against our awakening to the truth. If we let it, it keeps us constantly busy with a never-ending stream of solving problems in the world.

Our practice for today is to make it our highest priority to open our minds to receive Holy Spirit’s gentle correction all through the day. As we are willing to let go of our interpretations, our minds are open to a Holy Spirit’s way of seeing. We are open to the gift of true perception, which frees us from the past and leads us to the gates of Heaven.

The Healing Way of Peace

Let me not wander from the way of peace, for I am lost on other roads than this. But let me follow Him Who leads me home, and peace is certain as the Love of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.220.1:2-3)

Every day the world seems to present us with reasons to “wander from the way of peace.” Something doesn’t work the way we expect or want it to. Someone says something we don’t like. Illness seems to come out of nowhere.

We are being asked not to take the “bait” of temptation to wander away from the guidance that Love offers us. The way of Love is the way of peace. The Holy Spirit, the Voice of Love, will always lead us in the way of peace. To receive this guidance, we need to step back from our knee jerk reactions to happenings in the world, relax, and open our minds once again to the Holy Spirit’s loving lead. He will always lead us in a way that is truly helpful for everyone, including ourselves.

Letting Love Lead the Way

It seems very tempting to fall back into the old habit of trying to solve problems on our own, to analyze and plan how to manage the circumstances and problems that seem to be present. It seems safer to rely on the old habits than to open to a Source of Inspiration that cannot be seen with the body’s eyes and is not based on past experience. But this habit does not bring peace.

If we honestly look at what we use as the basis for our problem solving on our own, we see it is severely limited. Certainly we are not aware of all the effects our actions have everywhere. But the Source of Inspiration within us has no such limitation. It makes sense to turn to this unlimited Source of help to solve problems. 

Today we practice, once again, pausing frequently to step back, relax into peace and open our minds to Inspiration beyond our experience, our history. With our minds open to this Inspiration, we are willing to be led. We would not decide what the answer should look like, for in truth we do not know. Today we practice stepping back and letting Love lead the way.

Today We Let Our Minds Quiet

Our focus for today is to practice letting our minds sink into our natural state of deep peace and quiet… We let go of the busyness of the outer world… and open to our inner Teacher… We ask for truth and are willing to receive the healing of all our false beliefs… We let go and let God… We have no agenda… We quietly hand over every thought that rises as a barrier to God’s Love… We are willing to move past time to eternity… We join with the Holy Spirit and rest a while… We surrender our busy minds into Holy Spirit’s gentle hands… And here we receive all that is truly helpful under Holy Spirit’s loving care.

Being Blessed In All Our Doing

Whenever we extend Love, we experience Love’s blessing. The extension of Love does not always show up in the world in an appearance of form. It may be an appreciation as you look upon a family happily playing together. It may be an appreciation of someone sharing their journey through life’s lessons. It may also be picking up something for someone who dropped it.

There are myriad ways in which the extension of Love is reflected in the world. What is common to them all is that they are moments in which the past is disregarded and the present moment is accepted as it is. It is a moment in which the loving Essence that is in all things is appreciated. This appreciation inspires helpfulness, kindness, gratitude and joy.

Today our practice is to join with the loving Essence in our minds, the Holy Spirit, to be in the moment and see the Truth beyond form and thus experience the blessing of loving.

Accepting Spiritual Vision from Holy Spirit

To see the Christ in any one is to confirm It as your Self. What you see in One, you will see in all. The Light shines undimmed in every Mind, just beyond the form. The Light is not of this world, yet spiritual Vision see Its reflection everywhere, in everything. (From the Christ Mind p.80)

In truth we are one Spirit of Love — we are united as one Light in Love. We are able to see this one Light as we accept Holy Spirit’s gift of Vision. As we are willing, we see through Holy Spirit’s eyes, the eyes of Christ. We see past the world of separate forms to the one Light that is truly there eternally.

Today our focus is to accept spiritual Vision from the Holy Spirit. When we truly want to see through the Holy Spirit’s eyes, we will. We let that time be now. This is what brings us happiness and peace.
