With Holy Spirit I See the World Differently

How can I know who I am when I see myself as under constant attack? Pain, illness, loss, age and death seem to threaten me. All my hopes and wishes and plans appear to be at the mercy of a world I cannot control. Yet perfect security and complete fulfillment are my inheritance. I have tried to give my inheritance away in exchange for the world I see. But God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real thoughts will teach me what it is.

The world I see holds my fearful self-image in place, and guarantees its continuance. While I see the world as I see it now, truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let the door behind this world be opened for me, that I may look past it to the world that reflects the Love of God.

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.56.1:2-8;3:2-4;4:5-6. See also ACIM Lesson 56 Insights.)

In our practice for today we consistently step back and let the Holy Spirit show us the truth behind illusions of separation. We let Holy Spirit show us the Love of God, which is eternally present. We let ourselves be shown the truth that we are still Perfect Love, as God created us.

We are Love. We are peace. We are joy forever. With Holy Spirit as our Guide, we see the world differently.

Serving Spirit Brings Peace and Joy

Spirit makes use of mind as means to find its Self expression. And the mind which serves the spirit is at peace and filled with joy. Its power comes from spirit, and it is fulfilling happily its function here. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.96.4:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 96 Insights.)

When we identify with the ego, we inevitably feel powerless because the ego is the belief in being separate from the Source of all power. The ego is always defensive because of its sense of weakness. It is always seeking happiness but never finds lasting happiness because it believes it is separate from the Source of happiness.

There is another way. We can redirect our minds to the Spirit of Oneness, the Holy Spirit, Which remembers that we are already united with the Source of all strength and perfect happiness. As we are willing to let the Holy Spirit guide all our doing, our activities in the world will always lead us to remembering the strength and joy that come from our true Self, the Self united with all Creation. This is our practice for today.

Accepting Holy Spirit’s Happy Dream

Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning. Yet you have come far enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its laws, and walk into eternity a while. This you will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy place and leaves you, for a moment, to your Self.

Today we will embark upon a course you have not dreamed of. But the Holy One, the Giver of the happy dreams of life, Translator of perception into truth, the holy Guide to Heaven given you, has dreamed for you this journey which you make and start today, with the experience this day holds out to you to be your own.

Into Christ’s Presence will we enter now, serenely unaware of everything except His shining face [of innocence] and perfect Love. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.157.3,8,9:1. See also ACIM Lesson 157 Insights.)

In Holy Spirit’s happy dream, He shows us the innocence that lies beyond perceptions of separation… He shows us our brothers’ holiness beyond the stories of the world… As we practice accepting the truth beyond the dreams of individuality, we see innocence everywhere… We see holiness everywhere… We feel the truth of Love’s Presence… We feel immersed in Love… We give this Love to everyone we meet and feel the joy of giving…

All this comes with the decision to accept Holy Spirit’s happy dream of Love’s oneness instead of the ego’s dream of separation. In this practice we find our freedom and share it with the world.
