Freedom from Guilt Is Ours to Accept

The special ones are all asleep, surrounded by a world of loveliness they do not see. Freedom and peace and joy stand there, beside the bier on which they sleep, and call them to come forth and waken from their dream of death. Yet they hear nothing. They are lost in dreams of specialness. They hate the call that would awaken them, and they curse God because He did not make their dream reality. [They] curse God and die, but not by Him Who made not death; but only in the dream. Open your eyes a little; see the savior [your brother] God gave to you that you might look on him, and give him back his birthright. It is yours. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.III.7. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

We awaken from the dream of separation by seeing the truth in every brother. By seeing the truth in every brother, we give him back his birthright and simultaneously accept our own birthright. Seeing the Christ in every brother is the means by which we wake up from the dream of separation. Freedom from guilt is ours; we accept it now.

The Holy Spirit sees only innocence. As we accept His vision, we see the innocence in ourselves and our brothers. We receive Holy Spirit’s vision as we willingly turn over all our perceptions to Him to receive His interpretation.

Opening to a Change of Mind

God’s Teacher speaks to any two who join together for learning purposes. The relationship is holy because of that purpose, and God has promised to send His Spirit into any holy relationship. In the teaching-learning situation, each one learns that giving and receiving are the same. The demarcations they have drawn between their roles, their minds, their bodies, their needs, their interests, and all the differences they thought separated them from one another, fade and grow dim and disappear. Those who would learn the same course share one interest and one goal. And thus he who was the learner becomes a teacher of God himself, for he has made the one decision that gave his teacher to him. He has seen in another person the same interests as his own. (A Course in Miracles, M-2.5:3-9)

Because we are open to a change of mind, we will receive it. Our inner Teacher is always there, in our mind, waiting for our willingness to receive His teaching. As we are open, we receive the truth about ourselves and everyone in this world.

We all are still Love as Love created us. And this can never change. This is what we are learning and teaching simultaneously as we let the Holy Spirit work through us.

God’s gifts are always there, waiting for us to accept them as our own. Today we hold our minds open to Holy Spirit’s interpretation of all that we perceive. Thus do we receive a change of mind and turn every relationship into a holy relationship. We return to the Love we are and realize we have never left in truth.

We Welcome the Truth

My true Identity is so secure, so lofty, sinless, glorious and great, wholly beneficent and free from guilt, that Heaven looks to It to give it light. It lights the world as well. It is the gift my Father gave to me; the one as well I give the world. There is no gift but this that can be either given or received. This is reality, and only this. This is illusion’s end. It is the truth.

My Name, O Father, still is known to You. I have forgotten It, and do not know where I am going, who I am, or what it is I do. Remind me, Father, now, for I am weary of the world I see. Reveal what You would have me see instead. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 224, W-pII.224.1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 224 Insights.)

Today we welcome awareness of the truth… Today we step back from our stories of the past and open instead to awareness of Love’s one Identity, which lies beyond every thought of separation… We would listen and not lead… We would follow and not decide anything on our own…

We let the truth come forth because we want it in our heart of hearts… We celebrate the truth today and let the truth of Love’s oneness replace illusions of separation… We are in great gratitude that our one true Identity as Love is true and nothing else is true.

Sharing God’s Peace

The peace of God is shining in you now, and from your heart extends around the world.

The peace of God can never be contained. Who recognizes it within himself must give it. And the means for giving it are in his understanding. He forgives because he recognized the truth in him. The peace of God is shining in you now, and in all living things. In quietness is it acknowledged universally. For what your inward vision looks upon is your perception of the universe.

Sit quietly and close your eyes. The light within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer world, and let your thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the way. For honest thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things outside yourself, become the holy messengers of God Himself. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 188, W-pI.188.3:1;5:1-6:6. See also ACIM Lesson 188 Insights.)

We accept and give the peace of God by forgiving our illusions about the world we see. When we see a world of separate images, it is impossible to experience God’s peace. But as we let the Holy Spirit shine His Light on our perceptions, we see that those disturbing images have no substance. They fade away in the Light, and the peace of God grows stronger in our awareness.

As we accept this peace, we are motivated to extend it by the joy that comes with it. Today is a joyous day to practice letting the Holy Spirit’s Light shine away our misperceptions so that we may recognize God’s peace within and share it with joy.

Accepting the Gifts of Forgiveness

What could you want forgiveness cannot give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? Do you want care and safety, and the warmth of sure protection always? Do you want a quietness that cannot be disturbed, a gentleness that never can be hurt, a deep abiding comfort, and a rest so perfect it can never be upset?

All this forgiveness offers you, and more.

Forgiveness lets the veil be lifted up that hides the face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the world. It lets you recognize the Son of God, and clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can arise across the threshold of your mind. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 122, W-pI.122.1;2:1;3:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 122 Insights.)

Today we practice stepping back and letting forgiveness lift the veil so that we see the Light of God in every brother. We acknowledge that of ourselves we do not know how to forgive. We remember to open our minds and hearts to receive the Holy Spirit’s vision in every situation and relationship. We are willing to accept His vision in place of our perceptions. Thus we make way for the gifts forgiveness offers.

God’s Will Be Done

Today we will claim the miracles which are your right, since they belong to you. You have been promised full release from the world you made. You have been assured that the Kingdom of God is within you, and can never be lost. We ask no more than what belongs to us in truth. Today, however, we will also make sure that we will not content ourselves with less. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 77, W-pI.77.3. See also ACIM Lesson 77 Insights.)

The world we experience with the body is a world of limits. The body is limited to a tiny point in space that makes it appear impossible to be everywhere at once. Yet we were created by Love as Love’s extension, which is everywhere, always.

When we accept the Will of God as ours, we experience the joyous flow of Love, everywhere, always, without limit. This is our inheritance. We accept our inheritance by letting go of belief in separation from the Love of God.

The Holy Spirit is ever present in our minds, ready and willing to show us His vision that sees beyond the limits of the body. As we are willing to let Holy Spirit’s vision be applied to all that we perceive, we journey past limitation to the unlimited Love that is our Source.

Today we practice opening to Holy Spirit’s vision all through the day. This is how we let God’s Will be done.

Accepting Happiness and Love

What makes this world seem real except your own denial of the truth that lies beyond? What but your thoughts of misery and death obscure the perfect happiness and the eternal life your Father wills for you? And what could hide what cannot be concealed except illusion? What could keep from you what you already have except your choice to see it not, denying it is there?

The Thought of God created you. It left you not, nor have you ever been apart from it an instant. It belongs to you. By it you live. It is your Source of life, holding you one with it, and everything is one with you because it left you not. The Thought of God protects you, cares for you, makes soft your resting place and smooth your way, lighting your mind with happiness and love. Eternity and everlasting life shine in your mind, because the Thought of God has left you not, and still abides with you. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 165, W-pI.165.1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 165 Insights.)

The world we experience with the body is the denial of the Thought of Love that created us. But the Love of God is still ever present, whether we are aware of It or not.

Forgiveness, letting go of the denial of Love, clears the way to experience the Love that we are. The practice of opening to the Holy Spirit’s vision always shows us the Love beyond the appearances of the world. It undoes the mistaken perceptions that give us the appearance that we are alone and separate.

Holy Spirit will always lead us to increasing awareness of the certainty of changeless Love, the joy of receiving and extending Love, the innocence of Love, the harmlessness of Love. Love always holds us in Its sure protection of our Identity as Love.

Today we practice giving our attention to Holy Spirit’s inspiration, that we may be messengers of Love and peace.
