Trust in Holy Spirit’s Process

It is easy to get wrapped up in the experiences of the world. The body’s senses were made to make the world of form seem real. Most of our life has been invested in the seeming reality of the world. This investment, this valuing of the world of false images, needs to be undone to make way for the acceptance of the Reality of Oneness in Love.

Time is a key ego mechanism for making the world seem real. It seems so easy to get wrapped up in scenarios of so much to do in so little time. The seeming shortage of time fosters stress, uncertainty, confusion and even helplessness. Time seems to be out of our control, marching relentlessly onward, disregarding our needs.

Yet time is just part of the illusion of being separate. It is not real. But it does no good to tell ourselves time is not real. We need help from outside the belief system that embraces time as real. We need to turn to the Holy Spirit moment by moment to receive His way of perceiving the world. He recognizes what we see but He does not believe it.

If we are willing, He will help us see past these appearances. As we let go of the seeming urgency of time, peace returns to our once troubled mind. In peace we receive inspiration that leads us away from the detours of the ego thought system and saves us time. This inspiration applies to even the minutest details of our doing in this world if we are willing to receive it. As we are willing to accept His help, the Holy Spirit uses time to free us from the world of limitation, to free us from time’s tyranny. Today we will practice trusting in Holy Spirit’s process.

There Is Nothing to Fear. Love Is Here.

This is God’s Final Judgment: “You are still My holy Son, forever innocent, forever loving and forever loved, as limitless as your Creator, and completely changeless and forever pure. Therefore awaken and return to Me. I am your Father and you are My Son.” (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.10.5)

This beautiful statement assures us of our Father’s Love. It is a call by Love to Love, beckoning us to return to Love. It is the release from fear because we are assured that God’s Love for us will never cease.

The world we seem to experience with the body is a false perception that blinds us to the ever present Love that streams ceaselessly to us from the Source of Love. We can rest in the comfort of knowing that we are safe in Love’s strength. Love’s joy and peace are ever present.

There is nothing to fear. Love is here.

Returning to Reality

Behind the experience of a world of separation is the Reality of our one true Self. Our true Self is changeless Love where there are no differences. There is no past and future because there is no time. There is only the eternal, changeless Presence of Love, which shares all of Itself equally with All That Is.

We all are in the process of returning to Reality, returning to the awareness that we are all of Love and in Love eternally. In order to return to Reality, we need to let go of or forgive our belief in unreality, of being separate and alone. This letting go of the idea of separation is what time is for now. We do this by taking all our thoughts about what we are and where we are to our true Self to have our thoughts transformed. It is only our true Self that is aware that we are pure Love and nothing else.

Today we practice stepping back from what we think is true and letting our mind be healed of all our false ideas of what we are and where we are. We open our minds to be enlightened by Truth. We let our minds be healed today. We are in great gratitude that we have all the help we need as so as we are willing to step back and receive the help.

Making Stress-Free Decisions

Every decision we try to make on our own in the world is fraught with uncertainty. No matter how hard we try, we know that there are unknown potential consequences of the decision. Thankfully, we have within our minds a Resource we can go to That does know all consequences and what will be truly helpful to all.

It is time to relinquish all attempts to make decisions on our own. By turning decisions over to our inner Source of Wisdom, we relieve ourselves of anxiety, stress, uncertainty and guilt. We make way for the gentle flow of Love’s peace and happiness to experience and to give. We make way for the deep fulfillment that comes with accepting our function.

Today we join with the Source of Wisdom within in all our decisions. And it will be a day of peace and gratitude.

Holy Spirit, Help Me See This Differently

This is our prayer today: Holy Spirit, when I look out through the body’s eyes, I see separation everywhere. Everything is distinct, different, unique and separated off from everything else. The world was made to make separation appear real. The world was made to be different from our Source, which always extends Love’s oneness.

Help me to see as You see today, Holy Spirit. Help me to see past separation to the truth of Love’s oneness. Lift me up when I get lost in believing what my physical eyes are showing me. Remind me of the truth that separation could never be real.

Help me to see past separation to the same Christ Mind in everyone I encounter or even think of. Help me remember that nothing has ever happened to change God’s one Son. I choose with You, Holy Spirit. Help me to use every circumstance as a means to wake up from the false belief in separation.

As I accept your help, I receive the miracle of true perception. I see Love’s oneness behind every separate form. I relax and follow Your lead today, knowing that as I ask with true desire, I receive as I have asked. I heal in great gratitude.

Being a Messenger of Unity with God

It is through [the Voice for God’s] ability to hear one Voice which is His Own that you become aware at last there is one Voice in you. And that one Voice appoints your function, and relays it to you, giving you the strength to understand it, do what it entails, and to succeed in everything you do that is related to it. God has joined His Son in this, and thus His Son becomes His messenger of unity with Him. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.154.3)

In general terms we have one function — to forgive, to look past all appearances. In each moment the Voice for God gives us the specific application of forgiveness. Whatever we perceive in the world needs to be recognized as just an appearance and looked past to see the unity of Love.

The appearance may be in the form of a relationship, a bill to pay, a piece of equipment to repair or a deadline to meet. From the perspective of separation, these may bring up feelings of irritation, frustration, stress or some other form of disturbance of our peace. They are all opportunities to apply the one function given us by our inner Teacher.

We can look past all appearances to the unity of Love if we accept the Holy Spirit’s help. He gives us His strength and His vision. It is through His strength, not our own as a separate identity, that we are able to look beyond appearances. His strength is enough to guarantee success when we are willing to accept His help.

Today we dedicate to accepting the strength of God in us, offered us by the Holy Spirit, so that we may be messengers of God’s unity.
