Leave Correction to the Holy Spirit

Correction must be left to One Who knows correction and forgiveness are the same. With half a mind this is not understood. Leave, then, correction to the Mind that is united, functioning as one because it is not split in purpose, and conceives a single function as its only one.… In His acceptance of this function lies the means whereby your mind is unified. His single purpose unifies the halves of you that you perceive as separate. And each forgives the other, that he may accept his other half as part of him. (A Course in Miracles, T-27.II.16:1-3,5-7. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Today we consistently step back and let the Holy Spirit correct our mind of its mistaken thoughts of separation. The Holy Spirit’s correction always returns us to recognizing Love’s Oneness.

As we practice receiving Holy Spirit’s lessons in forgiveness, we heal and are healed. Peace returns to our troubled minds. All this comes as we consistently practice leaving correction to the Holy Spirit all through the day.

See Past Error to Eternal Truth

Trusting [in the truth of] your brothers is essential to establishing and holding up your faith in your ability to transcend doubt and lack of sure conviction in yourself. When you attack a brother, you proclaim that he is limited by what you have perceived in him. You do not look beyond his errors. Rather, they are magnified, becoming blocks to your awareness of the Self that lies beyond your own mistakes, and past his seeming sins as well as yours.

Perception has a focus [ego or Holy Spirit]. It is this that gives consistency to what you see. Change but this focus, and what you behold will change accordingly.… Remove your focus on your brother’s sins, and you experience the peace that comes from faith in sinlessness.… For their mistakes, if focused on, are witnesses to sins in you. And you will not transcend their sight and see the sinlessness that lies beyond. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 181, W-pI.181.1;2:1-3,5,7-8. See also ACIM Lesson 181 Insights.)

We cannot see guilt in others without believing we are guilty. Likewise, as we let the Holy Spirit show us the changeless Love in our brothers, beyond appearances, we recognize the changeless Love in ourselves.

The practice of bringing all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit with willingness to be shown the changeless Love beyond appearances is how we forgive the world and ourselves. Each time we remember to do this, we take a step closer to seeing the real world of perfect innocence and changeless Love.

Today is dedicated to this practice.

Only Love Is Real

Only Love Is Real

…search out your unloving thoughts in whatever form they appear; uneasiness, depression, anger, fear, worry, attack, insecurity and so on. Whatever form they take, they are unloving and therefore fearful. And so it is from them that you need to be saved.

Specific situations, events or personalities you associate with unloving thoughts of any kind are suitable subjects for today’s exercises. It is imperative for your salvation that you see them differently. And it is your blessing on them that will save you and give you vision.

…search your mind for every thought that stands between you and your salvation. Apply [this] to each of them in this way:

My unloving thoughts about ___ are keeping me in hell.
My holiness is my salvation. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 39, W-pI.39.6:2-8:4). See also ACIM Lesson 39 Insights.

If I feel uneasy or worry about anything, this is what I need to take to the Holy Spirit to see differently. Through the Holy Spirit I will be shown the difference between the real and the unreal, between separation thoughts and the return to Love’s eternal presence. The Holy Spirit reminds me that if it is not Love, it is not real. It is my trying to make separation real that is causing me discomfort.

Another meaning for holiness is wholeness or oneness. Only God’s perfect Love represents God’s holiness or oneness. If I watch my thoughts and notice which ideas are bringing me unhappiness, I am reminded that I have gotten lost in the dream of separation once again. My salvation is in letting the Holy Spirit straighten my mind once again. With willingness, the Holy Spirit shows me the holiness behind every appearance I have deemed unholy, and therefore tied to guilt.

My prayer today with every thought pattern that causes worry, anger or fear is to take it to Holy Spirit for a different way of seeing. The Holy Spirit reminds me once again that only Love is real. The rest are all illusions of separation which are nothing and nowhere. It is only my belief in these ideas that is causing me pain, and I am willing to let them go. Seeing past thoughts of separation to Love’s eternal Oneness is my one goal. This is how I wake up from the dream of separation and remember the whole Sonship is free. The whole Sonship is still one as God created it. Nothing has happened to change God’s one Son.
