Letting the Light Dispel the Darkness in Our Minds

Spiritual purification is the uncovering of all fear and guilt; all the dark corners of your mind must be brought to Light that the darkness may be dispelled. All that is not Love must be healed to prepare the way for Love’s return. (From the Christ Mind, p. 163)

Every moment of every day presents an opportunity for us to open our minds to Love. With vigilance, we can recognize when we are not being Love’s expression, when we are not in peace and joy. When we recognize that our mind is disturbed, we have the opportunity to bring that sense of discomfort to the Holy Spirit to receive His vision and His gentle correction of the thought that caused us to believe that there was anything to fear nor any cause for guilt. Each time we accept this correction we come closer to welcoming Love’s return. We let Love’s Light shine away the dark thoughts of fear.

Today is a day filled with opportunities for healing. Today we can welcome Love’s return.

We Are Love’s Messenger

Today we accept the fact that our function is to be Love’s messenger. We let ourselves remember that we are Love, and Love extends only Love because that is Its only function. We are happiest when we are following our true life purpose — forgiving and being Love’s messenger.

As we walk through today, we let the Love of our true Self flow through and we are uplifted through the experience of extending Love. It will be a happy day indeed.

The Power of Love

Walk softly, and carry a big remembrance of Love. Remembrance of Love will carry you through every situation, no matter how difficult it may appear in the moment. Let Love be all that matters. This remembrance brings high dividends and great happiness. This remembrance open us to the power of Love, which is beyond measure. As we practice it hourly, we know that this is true.

Accepting Holy Spirit’s Way

You need not worry about what you should do or what you should say. The Holy Spirit will guide you in everything, in all situations, at all times. He alone knows the response that is in your highest interest, and equally beneficial to all who will be affected in any way by your decision. Referring decisions to Him, will always result in the best outcome for all concerned. It may not appear so at time, but as you learn that you do not know enough to judge, and if you will trust, the end result is certain. (From the Christ Mind, p. 119)

Our practice for today is to strengthen our willingness and to step back and follow with all the circumstances that show up in our life. This takes vigilance and a willingness to let go of bringing the past to the present. We may think we know, but we do not. Only the Spirit of Love That resides in our mind knows how to best extend the Love — our only function. As we practice this and step back all through the day, we are assured of the peace and joy that are Holy Spirit’s gifts throughout the day. And we are grateful for the wonderful opportunity we have today.

Let Happiness Bubble Up

Behind every image I have made, the truth remains unchanged. Behind every veil I have drawn across the face of love, its light remains undimmed. Beyond all my insane wishes is my will, united with the Will of my Father. God is still everywhere and in everything forever. And we who are part of Him will yet look past all appearances, and recognize the truth beyond them all. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.56.4:2-6)

In truth we still are God’s Love, and inherent in God’s Love is His peace and joy. We are learning to return to our inherent eternal nature. We are willing to see past every form to the truth today. As we practice today, we notice the happiness that naturally bubbles up with remembering the truth. And we give thanks.

Walking with Christ

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 swept away.

…Now do you know him not. But you are free to learn of him, and learn of him anew. …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;13.2-3,5)

We always walk with Christ, because That is our true Identity. But we are unaware of It when we insist on maintaining a separate identity. To know the peace and happiness that God wills for us, we must be willing to let go of the separate identity we have made. This means also letting go of seeing anyone else as a separate identity.

Our function now is to forget what we have taught ourselves about what we are. As we let this go, we clear our minds to receive the truth that Holy Spirit holds out to us in every moment. As we welcome Holy Spirit’s loving lesson of our innocence and unity with Love, we recognize that we walk with Christ in each now moment. This is our only function.

We Give the World a New Purpose

Those who would see the witnesses to truth instead of to illusion merely ask that they might see a purpose in the world that gives it sense and makes it meaningful. Without your special function has this world no meaning for you. Yet it can become a treasure house as rich and limitless as Heaven itself. No instant passes here in which your brother’s holiness cannot be seen, to add a limitless supply to every meager scrap and tiny crumb of happiness that you allot yourself.

It is your special function to ensure the door be opened, that he may come forth to shine on you, and give you back the gift of freedom by receiving it of you. (A Course in Miracles, T-26.I.5;8:4)

Our special function is to see our brother’s holiness. Our special function is to see past the world of separate bodies to the fact that God’s Son is One and includes everyone. As we see the radiant Love in every brother, we receive the Love we are focusing on because giving and receiving are the same. As we give we are receiving. That is why seeing the Love in every brother brings us great happiness and peace.

To see the Love, we must let go of judgment and allow the truth in every brother to take the place of the images we judge. Herein lies our freedom from the bonds of our belief in separation. With the Holy Spirit’s help we let go of judgment and the world becomes a mirror to show us the Love that unites us as one.
