Being Willing to Choose Love

When we look upon a brother, what do we see? Do we see an adversary, a competitor, a threat to our safety, someone we hope will complete us? Or do we see a mighty Companion, joined with us in Love, reflecting our wholeness, our innocence, our invulnerability, back to us?

In both instances we are seeing reflected back to us what we believe about ourselves. The first instance is reflecting back a belief in a false image. The second is reflecting back to us the truth of our Creation and our eternal, changeless state as Love’s extension. In every moment we choose between these two ways of seeing.

Because we have learned the lessons of the false image of separation well, we have lost sight of what we are really choosing. Fortunately, we have help to show us the falsity of what we believe and have chosen. We have within our minds the Teacher Who will show us the real choice and help us lay aside the mistaken beliefs that have hidden the choice for Love.

Today we again practice walking with the Holy Spirit as our Guide and Teacher in each moment. We are willing to be taught to see the Love that lies beyond all appearance. We are willing to choose Love.

We Have Help

Not one light in Heaven but goes with you. Not one Ray that shines forever in the Mind of God but shines on you. Heaven is joined with you in your advance to Heaven. When such great lights have joined with you to give the little spark of your desire the power of God Himself, can you remain in darkness? You and your brother are coming home together, after a long and meaningless journey that you undertook apart, and that led nowhere. You have found your brother, and you will light each other’s way. And from this light will the Great Rays extend back into darkness and forward unto God, to shine away the past and so make room for His eternal Presence, in which everything is radiant in the light. (A Course in Miracles, T-18.III.8)

Often we do not realize how much help we have. We often think we have to figure it out on our own. We are finding that, because we are still one in God, we have all the help we need.

We receive the help when we are open minded and are willing to be led to a changed perception. The Holy Spirit is always there ready to purify our minds of all the false ideas we are holding, as we are willing. Today our practice is to consistently step back and listen to inner Inspiration from the Holy Spirit.

As we let the Light in, we see our brothers differently. We see the Light of God in them, which reminds us of the Light of God in us. We return to Love, where God would have us be. We give thanks for all the Help we have in every now moment.

Seeing Past Time to Eternity

What time but now can truth be recognized? The present is the only time there is. And so today, this instant, now, we come to look upon what is forever there; not in our sight, but in the eyes of Christ. He looks past time, and sees eternity as represented there. He hears the sounds the senseless, busy world engenders, yet He hears them faintly. For beyond them all He hears the song of Heaven, and the Voice for God more clear, more meaningful, more near. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.164.1)

Today our focus is to see past time to the eternal truth in everyone, including ourselves… We remember that time is an illusion and that Love, our true Nature, is changeless and eternal… This remembering brings us peace and joy… It brings our mind to a place of quiet happiness…

We let go of trying to change what God created… We let go of our image of What God is… We let go of trying to be different from our Source… We move past time to what is eternally true… We remember that we are so blessed and we bless the world with this remembering…

Practice Seeing with the Eyes of Christ

Christ’s vision has one law. It does not look upon a body, and mistake it for the Son whom God created. It beholds a light beyond the body; an idea beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful mistakes, and fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin. It sees no separation. And it looks on everyone, on every circumstance, all happenings and all events, without the slightest fading of the light it sees.

We practice seeing with the eyes of Christ today. And by the holy gifts we give, Christ’s vision looks upon ourselves as well. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.158.7,11:3-4)

Today we are willing to be carried by Christ’s vision. Christ’s vision is always there in our mind waiting for our acceptance as the only Truth there is. Today we practice accepting the Truth. This is how we heal and this is how we are healed. We are single-minded today — we open our minds and accept Christ’s vision all through the day.

With this practice, Christ’s vision will show us the Love that is our brother, which will remind us of the Love we are. Each one we see with Christ’s vision will bring joy to our hearts, for we will be seeing our one Self reflected back to us. With this practice it will be a happy day indeed.

A Touch of Heaven

This is a day of silence and of trust. It is a special time of promise in your calendar of days. It is a time Heaven has set apart to shine upon, and cast a timeless light upon this day, when echoes of eternity are heard. This day is holy, for it ushers in a new experience; a different kind of feeling and awareness. You have spent long days and nights in celebrating death. Today you learn to feel the joy of life. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.157.1)

We bring a touch of Heaven to the world when we recognize our brothers as wholly innocent and wholly loving. This is the vision of Christ. It means that we are seeing with forgiving eyes, free of judgment and free of the past.

Today we are willing to let the vision of Christ in our minds show us the innocence and love in everyone. We would let the Guide to this vision transform our mistaken thoughts of guilt and fear, washing them clean and returning them to us in perfect innocence and Love. We are willing to be led.

Today is a day of vigilance to recognize our thoughts based upon the mistaken belief in being separate and to offer them to the holy Corrector in our minds that we may walk the way of truth. Each time a thought of guilt or fear is transformed into the recognition of our oneness in Love, we bring a touch of Heaven to the world.

Let the Veil of Illusion Be Lifted

We let the veil of illusion be lifted today. Our true Self knows the difference between illusion and Reality. We choose to open our minds to the healing perspective of the Holy Spirit to see the truth beyond illusions. We step back consistently today to become aware of Love’s Presence and feel the peace and joy that comes from our true Nature. We let ourselves be carried to the truth today. And for this we give thanks.

Letting Peace Extend to Every Aspect of Our Life

As peace extends from deep inside yourself to embrace all the Sonship and give it rest, it will encounter many obstacles. Some of them you will try to impose. Others will seem to arise from elsewhere; from your brothers, and from various aspects of the world outside. Yet peace will gently cover them, extending past completely unencumbered. The extension of the Holy Spirit’s purpose from your relationship to others, to bring them gently in, is the way in which He will bring means and goal in line. The peace He lay, deep within you and your brother, will quietly extend to every aspect of your life, surrounding you and your brother with glowing happiness and the calm awareness of complete protection. And you will carry its message of love and safety and freedom to everyone who draws nigh unto your temple, where healing waits for him.” (A Course in Miracles, T-19.IV.1:1-7)

As we let the Holy Spirit be in charge of our minds, peace extends through us unhindered by any obstacles… We know we are connected through the Holy Spirit in every brother… As we let the Holy Spirit guide all our thoughts, we feel the peace of our true Nature… We easily remember the true Nature of everyone we meet or even think of… We recognize our connection and our eternal safety in the beingness of our one true Self… We heal as we let our minds be healed… And we are filled with gratitude as the truth fills our minds with peace.
