Our Prayer of Awakening to Truth

Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as our sight is finally restored and we can see. We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the Son whom You created. Now we see that darkness is our own imagining, and light is there for us to look upon. Christ’s vision changes darkness into light, for fear must disappear when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy world today, that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but reflects my own. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.302.1. See also ACIM Lesson 302 Insights.)

We want to awaken to the truth. We want to be happy. We want to forgive all our false ideas that bring us pain, guilt and fear. To do this, we practice opening our minds to God’s healing Light.

Today we let Inspiration lead the way… In quietness we let It come… In peace and gentleness we extend It to the world… Today we realize we are so blessed… And we extend the blessing to everyone we meet or think of. All this comes our way as we awaken to the truth.

Being Open to Christ’s Vision

I ask Your blessing on my sight today. It is the means which You have chosen to become the way to show me my mistakes, and look beyond them. It is given me to find a new perception through the Guide You gave to me, and through His lessons to surpass perception and return to truth. I ask for the illusion [of forgiveness] which transcends all those I made. Today I choose to see a world forgiven, in which everyone shows me the face of Christ, and teaches me that what I look upon belongs to me; that nothing is, except Your holy Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.269.1. See also ACIM Lesson 269 Insights.)

The Course tells us that the body’s eyes can only see illusion because the body itself is only illusion. If we want to be aware of the truth of what we are, we need to shift our attention to a different kind of vision. The Course calls this Christ’s vision.

This is an inner vision that comes from the part of our mind that is eternally at one with our Creator. This part of our mind is wholly Love and wholly innocent. This part of our mind is our true Self. Because of What It is, It sees only Love and innocence.

As our Guide to true Vision, the Holy Spirit leads us to let go of the false idea of being separate and transforms our mistaken thoughts so that we can see the Love and innocence that Christ’s vision shows us. With this vision, we are at peace because there is no conflict in the oneness of Love.

Today we can take great strides toward the peace of God as we focus on being open to Christ’s vision. The ultimate reward of this practice is complete release from the hell of believing we are separate and alone.

We Choose Peace Today

Peace is the state where love abides, and seeks to share itself. Conflict and peace are opposites. Where one abides the other cannot be; where either goes the other disappears. So is the memory of God obscured in minds that have become illusions’ battleground. Yet far beyond this senseless war it shines, ready to be remembered when you side with peace. (A Course in Miracles, T-23.I.12:5-9. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Peace is a state of mind. When our mind is quiet, the memory of Love’s gentleness and kindness returns. When our mind is quiet, the Holy Spirit can bring us the perfect inspiration that we need for mind healing. We feel comforted, loved and loving. We are aware of Love’s presence. We receive Love and extend Love to everyone equally.

Because we want to be happy and return to the truth, we choose peace instead of conflict today.

Accepting God’s Security Blanket

Thank You Holy Spirit for Your ever present Love. I would practice listening to Your Voice all through the day, remembering that I am surrounded by God’s Love. I would remain open to accepting Your peace. I would remember that my heart is beating in the peace of God. Let me attend Your answer, not my own. (Excerpt from Pathways of Light Daily ACIM Lesson 267 Insights. Click here to read A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 267.)

Imagine what it would feel like to spend a day feeling God’s Love wrapping us in Its “security blanket.” God’s security blanket is always with us because we are eternally contained in all of God’s Love. We cannot be without it. We truly live in perfect safety and perfect peace. We open to the experience of this security by practicing listening to the Voice for God all through the day. This Voice will always guide us in the way of peace, safety, joy and Love.

Seeing My Brother as Part of My One Self

My thoughts are images that I have made. Whatever I see reflects my thoughts. It is my thoughts that tell me where I am and what I am. The fact that I see a world in which there is suffering and loss and death shows me that I am seeing only the representation of my insane thoughts, and am not allowing my real thoughts to cast their beneficent light on what I see. Yet God’s way is sure. The images I have made cannot prevail against Him because it is not my will that they do so. My will is His, and I will place no other gods before Him. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.53.5. See also ACIM Lesson 53 Insights.)

If I truly do not want to place other gods before God, I will remember to connect with the Christ in every brother. When I connect with my brother’s true Self, I will see him as he truly is, not what I have made of him. I will see his true Self, rather than my own projections.

As I connect with his true Self, I will be told what is most truly helpful in every situation. What is most truly helpful for my brother is most truly helpful for me. This is why we go Home together.

Today I will reinforce the practice of opening up to God’s Way. God sees every brother as part of Himself. God sees only the Love that is eternal and never changes. I will see as God sees when I see my brother as part of my one Self. This is my practice for today.

Bringing Love’s Healing to the World

My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today
Have but one purpose; to be given Christ
To use to bless the world with miracles.
(A Course in Miracles, W-pII.353. See also ACIM Lesson 353 Insights.)

As we give all our doing to Christ, our true Self, we are guided in the way of Love. Love is extended in the world and we experience Love’s blessing in all that we do. Through this dedication, Love’s gentleness and kindness blesses the world.

With this dedication, we become instruments of healing. We bring Love where there has appeared to be lack of Love. We join with the Love that is the true Self we share with everyone. We feel blessed as we see everyone as our brother and dearest Friend. This is how we do our part in bringing Love’s healing to the world.

Vigilance for 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. See also ACIM Lesson 220 Insights.)

The slightest disturbance of our peace is a sure sign that we have wandered from the Love of God. We have wandered into fear. Fear is Love’s opposite, but as it says in the Introduction to the Text, Love has no opposite. And so fear is a sign we have wandered into an illusion that could never be real and therefore does not exist in truth.

The practice of being vigilant for peace, mindful of our level of peace, is how we keep ourselves from wandering from God’s peace. Any disturbance to our peace becomes a warning sign to remind us that it is time to return our attention to the peace within. In this peace we are receptive to the Holy Spirit’s lead, which will always show us the way back to peace. Vigilance for peace and willingness to follow Holy Spirit’s lead is our way Home.
