Letting This Be a Day of Healing

Father, today I would remember You. I would remember the truth. Opening my mind to Your healing Light ends my nightmares of separation. Opening my mind to Your healing Light ends my belief in all lack, sorrow and pain. I would quiet my mind today and let my thoughts be healed of all false ideas. Today I would give my mind to You.

I open to Your comfort and peace. I rest in Your healing Light. Today is a day of healing. Today is a day of letting go of the false world of separation. Today is a day of forgiveness. Today is a happy day because forgiveness ends all suffering and loss. (Excerpt from ACIM Daily Lesson 249 Insights. Click here to read the complete Lesson 249 Insights.

Forgiveness Shows Us the Real World

What need has such a mind [that has forgiven itself] for thoughts of death, attack and murder? What can it perceive surrounding it but safety, love and joy? What is there it would choose to be condemned, and what is there that it would judge against? The world it sees arises from a mind at peace within itself. No danger lurks in anything it sees, for it is kind, and only kindness does it look upon. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.8.3. See also ACIM Lesson 291 Insights.)

Belief in harm cannot coexist with recognition of our innocence. It is the belief that we could possibly harm anything that we need to forgive. Forgiveness cannot be justified in the world of separation because it is based on the belief that we have separated from the oneness of Love. When we let the Holy Spirit show us that only Love is real and that we are only Love, forgiveness is fully justified, for in Oneness, harm is impossible.

Holy Spirit, help me to see that only Love is real and that I am that Love. Help me to see that I share Love with all that Is, for nothing is outside the Love of God. With Your help I will see truly that there is nothing to forgive, for harm is impossible and never has occurred in truth. With Your help, I would see past the gossamer veil of illusions of separation to the joy and peace of unity in Love.

Letting Our Holiness Heal Illusions

There is nothing my holiness cannot do. My holiness is unlimited in its power to heal, because it is unlimited in its power to save. What is there to be saved from except illusions? And what are all illusions except false ideas about myself? My holiness undoes them all by asserting the truth about me. In the presence of my holiness, which I share with God Himself, all idols vanish. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.58.3. See also ACIM Lesson 58 Insights.)

Our true Self is holy because it remains united with our Creator, the Source of holiness. Because of our unity with our Source, we share all Its power to undo illusions and reveal the truth of What we are. This means we are not trapped in the illusionary world of fear, guilt and pain. We need only look to the holiness within, our True Self, to be healed of the false ideas that have made it appear that we are separate, alone and lacking Love.

Today we focus our attention on the center of peace within, where our holiness abides. From this center of peace comes the true vision that sees the holiness in all our brothers and ourselves. This is how we let our holiness heal all things.

What Is Time for?

Holy Spirit, we give our time to You today. We are willing for You to direct all our doing — what to do, where to go, what to day and to whom. We desire only to be truly helpful and we would decide nothing on our own. We would let Your Love and peace lead us through this day and share it with all whom we meet or think of today. Thus will we teach and learn that we are Love and nothing else.

Letting Go of Specialness

You are alike to God as God is to Himself. He is not special, for He would not keep one part of what He is unto Himself, not given to His Son but kept for Him alone. And it is this you fear, for if He is not special, then He willed His Son to be like Him, and your brother is like you. Not special, but possessed of everything, including you. Give him but what he has, remembering God gave Himself to you and your brother in equal love, that both might share the universe with Him Who chose that love could never be divided, and kept separate from what it is and must forever be.” (A Course in Miracles, T-24.II.10:3-7). See also ACIM Text Q & A.

It is helpful to remember that every brother is God’s pure Love… It is helpful to remember that our special little kingdoms are nothing but illusions of specialness… We let our minds be healed as we open to the Holy Spirit’s way of seeing every brother — that he is still God’s pure Love as he was created, and not the vulnerable and different image he as made of himself…

As we are willing to see every brother as he truly is — being all of God’s Love — we are also brought to the healing awareness that we are all of God’s Love… That is why the Course tells us that every brother is our savior. As we see past specialness to the Christ in every brother, we are helped to see the Christ in ourselves and see that we are one.

With Holy Spirit’s help, we are able to see that our separate tiny kingdoms of uniqueness are nothing and nowhere. We are able to see that we “are alike to God as God is to Himself.” We are able to see that Love could never be divided, but all inclusive, possessed of all Love.

I Will There Be Light

Idle wishes and grievances are partners or co-makers in picturing the world you see. The wishes of the ego gave rise to [the world], and the ego’s need for grievances, which are necessary to maintain [the world], peoples it with figures that seem to attack you and call for “righteous” judgment.

Your picture of the world can only mirror what is within. The source of neither light nor darkness can be found without. Grievances darken your mind, and you look out on a darkened world. Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you look upon a world of light.

Above all else, you want the freedom to remember Who you really are. Today it is the ego that stands powerless before your will. Your will is free, and nothing can prevail against it.

…tell yourself with gentle firmness and quiet certainty:
I will there be light. Let me behold the light that reflects God’s Will and mine. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.73.2:1-2;5:1-4;7:5-7;1-:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 73 Insights.)

Symptoms of grievances include disappointment, frustration, irritation, discouragement, sadness, depression, guilt and fear. Some of these symptoms seem to be more tolerable than others. Yet they are all equally dark because they deny the Presence of the Light of Love. None of these symptoms can be present in Love because Love’s attributes are peace and joy.

To let in the Light of Love, we must forgive our grievances. By the grace of God, we have been given the Holy Spirit in our minds, Which is the means to free us from our grievances. The daily, moment by moment practice of bringing all of the thoughts with the symptoms of grievances to the Holy Spirit with willingness to accept His help to see them truly through the eyes of Love is how we free our will. As we free our will we realize that our only true will is the Will we share with God. His Will for us is perfect happiness and therefore it is our Will as well. With this practice today, we open to our Will that we be the Light that we were created to be.
