Recognizing Love’s Eternal Presence in Our Mind

Now do your eyes belong to Christ, and He looks through them. Now your voice belongs to God and echoes His. And now your heart remains at peace forever. You have chosen Him in place of idols, and your attributes, given by your Creator, are restored to you at last. The Call for God is heard and answered. Now has fear made way for love, as God Himself replaces cruelty.

Father, we are like You. No cruelty abides in us, for there is none in You. Your peace is ours. And we bless the world with what we have received from You alone. We choose again, and make our choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one with us. We bring them Your salvation as we have received it now. And we give thanks for them who render us complete. In them we see Your glory, and in them we find our peace. Holy are we because Your Holiness has set us free. And we give thanks. Amen. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 170, W-pI.170.12-13. See also ACIM Lesson 170 Insights.)

We give thanks that You are always with us, Father… Our minds are healed as we invite You in and receive your holy peace and Love and joy… In quiet we listen…

We accept in gratitude and are willing to be vigilant to receive awareness of your real world of eternal Love… In deep gratitude we celebrate Your eternal Presence… Amen

Attending to the Voice for God

Let me remember love is happiness, and nothing else brings joy. And so I choose to entertain no substitutes for love.

Love is my heritage, and with it joy. These are the gifts my Father gave to me. I would accept all that is mine in truth.

Today I will accept God’s peace and joy, in glad exchange for all the substitutes that I have made for happiness and peace.

Let my own feeble voice be still, and let me hear the mighty Voice for Truth Itself assure me that I am God’s perfect Son. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 117, W-pI.117.1:2-3;2:2-4. 118.1:2;2:2. See also ACIM Lesson 117 Insights.)

The Course tells us not to mistake the body for the Son of God. Thus identifying with the body as what we are is the denial of being the Son of God. When we deny being the Son of God, we deny Love, happiness and peace. It is no wonder the world we experience through the body is filled with fear, sadness and conflict.

Fortunately there is an antidote for what we experience as a body. The antidote is clearly stated in the review lessons that ask us to repeat many times a day for 20 days: “I am not a body. I am free. I am still as God created me.” (Review VI)

God created us as Love, an extension of His Love. As an extension, we remain part of His Love. Being part of His Love, we share all of His attributes. His joy and peace are ours eternally. If we experience anything else, we are simply denying our Self, the Son of God. This Self we share with all our brothers and remains united with our Creator. This connection can never be lost, although it can be forgotten.

To help us with our forgetfulness, God gave us His Voice eternally present in our mind. We need only be willing to choose this Voice instead of the ego’s to be reminded that we still have all of God’s Love, all His joy and peace. Today we choose to attend to the Voice for God.

Accepting That We Walk With God

“I walk with God in perfect holiness” …states the simple truth that makes the thought of sin [separation from God] impossible. It promises there is no cause for guilt, and being causeless it does not exist. It follows surely from the basic thought so often mentioned in the text; ideas leave not their source. If this be true, how can you be apart from God? How could you walk the world alone and separate from your Source?

You cannot walk the world apart from God, because you could not be without Him. He is what your life is. Where you are He is. There is one life. That life you share with Him. Nothing can be apart from Him and live.

Yet where He is, there must be holiness [oneness] as well as life. No attribute of His remains unshared by everything that lives. What lives is holy as Himself, because what shares His life is part of Holiness…. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 156, W-pI.156.1;2:4-3:3. See also ACIM Lesson 156 Insights.)

If we knew without doubt that God walks with us as our constant Companion, loneliness would be impossible. Fear would be impossible because we would be constantly in the Presence of Love. Peace would be our constant state, for there is no conflict in God.

All that stands between us and this experience is the mistaken belief that we are separate from God. Fortunately, beliefs can change and we have Help to change our beliefs. Forgiveness is the means to release false beliefs. The Holy Spirit is present in our minds to teach us to recognize the falsity of the idea that we could be separate from our Source.

Whenever we experience sadness, anxiety, fear, guilt and anger, He will help us see that these feelings have no foundation in truth. He will help us look past the false images that seem to justify these feelings to the Presence of Love that walks with us. As we accept the Holy Spirit’s help, we clear away the veil that seems to separate us from remembering that we walk with God.

We Spend This Day Listening to God’s Voice

God’s Voice speaks to me all through the day. There is not a moment in which God’s Voice ceases to call on my forgiveness to save me. There is not a moment in which His Voice fails to direct my thoughts, guide my actions and lead my feet. I am walking steadily on toward truth. There is nowhere else I can go, because God’s Voice is the only Voice and the only Guide that has been given to His Son.

I am sustained by the Love of God. As I listen to God’s Voice, I am sustained by His Love. As I open my eyes, His Love lights up the world for me to see. As I forgive, His Love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And as I look upon the world with the vision He has given me, I remember that I am His Son. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 60, W-pI.60.4-5. See also ACIM Lesson 60 Insights.)

As we listen consistently to the Voice for God, we are led to see the Love behind every dream of separation… We are led to see the Love in every brother… As we consistently open to the Voice of Love, we feel a deep sense of peace and safety…

We see that everyone in reality is safe because they are still as God created them. We remember that nothing can happen in truth to change God’s one Son. We remember happily that we are His one Son and that we are safe in Heaven eternally.

We rest in this healing remembering today and extend this healing remembering to every brother. Thus we have a happy day.

Letting Holy Spirit Solve All Problems

The sight of innocence makes punishment impossible, and justice sure. The Holy Spirit’s perception leaves no ground for an attack.

Salvation cannot seek to help God’s Son be more unfair than he has sought to be. If miracles, the Holy Spirit’s gift, were given specially to an elect and special group, and kept apart from others as less deserving, then is He ally to specialness. What He cannot perceive He bears no witness to. And everyone is equally entitled to His gift of healing and deliverance and peace. To give a problem to the Holy Spirit to solve for you means that you want it solved. To keep it for yourself to solve without His help is to decide it should remain unsettled, unresolved, and lasting in its power of injustice and attack. No one can be unjust to you, unless you have decided first to be unjust.

The unforgiven have no mercy to bestow upon another. That is why your sole responsibility must be to take forgiveness for yourself.

The miracle that you receive, you give. Each one becomes an illustration of the law on which salvation rests; that justice must be done to all, if anyone is to be healed. No one can lose, and everyone must benefit.…

What is God’s belongs to everyone, and is his due. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.IX.4:1-2;7:1-7;9:5-10:3,10. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

God has given all of Himself equally to all of His creations. Because God is one, none of His creations can have more nor less than all. This is God’s justice. The Truth in all of us is the same, for the Truth in us shares all of God’s attributes.

The perception of any problem is based on belief in differences. Yet this cannot be true. To solve all of our perceived problems, we must bring them to the Holy Spirit for help to change our mistaken perception. We must come with empty hands and heart with willingness to receive His loving correction.

Because the ego is the belief in differences, it is incapable of solving any problem with God’s justice. The Holy Spirit brings to us the unity that comes from knowing God’s oneness and will show us that we remain as God created us, whole and complete.

Loss is impossible. Our natural state is the constant giving and receiving of God’s Love. With the Holy Spirit’s help, we will see the changeless Love beyond appearances. We will experience the safety of changeless Love. We will remember that nothing can change God’s Son. Here is our healing. Here is the miracle that is given to everyone equally.

Today we are willing to receive Holy Spirit’s miracle.

Choosing the Love of the Holy Spirit

There is a light in you the world can not perceive. And with its eyes you will not see this light, for you are blinded by the world. Yet you have eyes to see it. It is there for you to look upon. It was not placed in you to be kept hidden from your sight. This light is a reflection of the thought we practice now. To feel the Love of God within you is to see the world anew, shining in innocence, alive with hope, and blessed with perfect charity and love.

What would you see? The choice is given you. But learn and do not let your mind forget this law of seeing: You will look upon that which you feel within. If hatred finds a place within your heart, you will perceive a fearful world, held cruelly in death’s sharp-pointed, bony fingers. If you feel the Love of God within you, you will look out on a world of mercy and of love.

Today we pass illusions, as we seek to reach to what is true in us, and feel its all-embracing tenderness, its Love which knows us perfect as itself, its sight which is the gift its Love bestows on us. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 189, W-pI.189.1;5:1-6:1. See also ACIM Lesson 189 Insights.)

It is helpful to remember that the world we see is a projection of what we believe we are. If we believe we are separate from Love, we will perceive cause for fear. If we accept the Love we are which is united with the Love of God, we will see a world of kindness and safety.

In every moment we choose between these two viewpoints. If what we perceive disturbs our peace, it is a sure sign that we believe we are separate. It is this belief that needs to be forgiven with the Holy Spirit’s help. The ego is incapable of true forgiveness. Thus we need the help of the Holy Spirit Who knows the truth in us to help us overlook the images of the world.

When we choose the Love of the Holy Spirit as our Guide in seeing, we choose God’s happiness and peace. We claim it as ours. This is our practice for today.

Today We Accept Holy Spirit’s Peace

You whose mind is darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this: God gave the Holy Spirit to you, and gave Him the mission to remove all doubt and every trace of guilt that His dear Son has laid upon himself. It is impossible that this mission fail.

Peace will be yours because His peace still flows to you from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it now. The Holy Spirit will teach you how to use it, and by extending it, to learn that it is in you. God willed you Heaven, and will always will you nothing else.

Learn that even the darkest nightmare that disturbs the mind of God’s sleeping Son holds no power over him. He will learn the lesson of awaking. God watches over him and light surrounds him.

You do not have to know that Heaven is yours to make it so. It is so. Yet to know it, the Will of God must be accepted as your will.

The Holy Spirit will undo for you everything you have learned that teaches that what is not true must be reconciled with truth. (A Course in Miracles, T-13.XI.5:1-2;8:4-7;9:5-7;10:5-11:1. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

As we connect to following the lead of the Holy Spirit in every situation, we are gently being led to the experience of peace and freedom, Love and happiness. It is the Holy Spirit That enlightens our mind to the truth.

We commit today to deepening our willingness to consistently follow Holy Spirit’s lead with every situation. God’s Will is our will. We want the Holy Spirit to show us the truth. We want to return to Love’s Oneness. We want to remember God. We want to return to the awareness that in truth we could never leave God. In Reality, we are one in God’s all encompassing Love now and forever, along with every brother.
