How to Bless the World with Love

The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is still. It reaches gently from that quiet time, and from the mind it healed in quiet then, to other minds to share its quietness. And they will join in doing nothing to prevent its radiant extension back into the Mind which caused all minds to be. Born out of sharing, there can be no pause in time to cause the miracle delay in hastening to all unquiet minds, and bringing them an instant’s stillness, when the memory of God returns to them. Their own remembering is quiet now, and what has come to take its place will not be wholly unremembered afterwards.

He to Whom time is given offers thanks for every quiet instant given Him. For in that instant is God’s memory allowed to offer all its treasures to the Son of God, for whom they have been kept. …The instant’s silence that His Son accepts gives welcome to eternity and Him, and lets Them enter where They would abide. For in that instant does the Son of God do nothing that would make himself afraid.

How instantly the memory of God arises in the mind that has no fear to keep the memory away! (A Course in Miracles, T-28.I.11;12-1-2,5-6;13:1. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

In every moment we have an opportunity to bring peace and blessing to the world. Each time we remember to step back from our worldly thoughts to welcome Holy Spirit’s inspiration, we bring Love and peace to the world. The Holy Spirit’s mission is to teach us that we are Love and nothing else, as Love created us. As we let Him be our Guide in each moment, we learn to let go of the ego’s barriers to Love.

We all have a shared purpose — to bring Love to the world. This is how we heal our minds and share the healing with the mind of every brother. It is the unity of Love that makes this healing instantly shared. In this sharing we bless and are blessed. Let’s all have a blessed day today.

How to Be a Happy Learner

Damnation is your judgment on yourself, and this you will project upon the world. See it as damned, and all you see is what you did to hurt the Son of God. If you behold disaster and catastrophe, you tried to crucify him. If you see holiness and hope, you joined the Will of God to set him free.

How foolish is it to attempt to judge what could be seen instead. It is not necessary to imagine what the world must look like. It must be seen [with Holy Spirit’s vision] before you recognize it for what it is. You can be shown which doors are open, and you can see where safety lies; and which way leads to darkness, which to light. Judgment will always give you false directions, but vision [true perception] shows you where to go. Why should you guess?

There is no need to learn through pain. And gentle lessons are acquired joyously, and are remembered gladly. What gives you happiness you want to learn and not forget. It is not this you would deny. Your question is whether the means by which this course is learned will bring to you the joy it promises. If you believed it would, the learning of it would be no problem. You are not a happy learner yet because you still remain uncertain that vision gives you more than judgment does, and you have learned that both you cannot have. (A Course in Miracles, T-21.in.2:1-4. I.2-3. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The ego does not trust the Will of God, because it believes God’s Will demands sacrifice. But this is the ego’s projection of its own demand for sacrifice. The ego cannot conceive of giving all without limit because it is the choice to believe in limitation. While we identify with the ego, we will not trust the vision offered us by the Holy Spirit in our mind.

It is this lack of trust that makes the message of the Course difficult to accept. It seems that accepting the happiness that is God’s Will for us would require sacrifice of our identity — the ultimate loss, perceived as death. Yet accepting God’s Will for us is the restoration of our true Identity and the end of the false identity made by the ego.

The Holy Spirit is our Friend, though the ego perceives It as enemy. If we want to be truly happy, at peace and complete in the Love of God, we need only accept the Self God created one with Him. The practice of bringing all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit, with willingness to accept His vision, will lead us to remember we are forever at Home in God’s joy.

The Choice That Will Bring a Happy New Year

To the extent to which you value guilt, to that extent will you perceive a world in which attack is justified. To the extent to which you recognize that guilt is meaningless, to that extent you will perceive attack cannot be justified. This is in accord with perception’s fundamental law: You see what you believe is there, and you believe it there because you want it there. Perception has no other law than this. The rest but stems from this, to hold it up and offer it support. This is perception’s form, adapted to this world, of God’s more basic law; that love creates itself, and nothing but itself.

Everyone here has entered darkness, yet no one has entered it alone. Nor need he stay more than an instant. For he has come with Heaven’s Help within him, ready to lead him out of darkness into light at any time. The time he chooses can be any time, for help is there, awaiting but his choice. And when he chooses to avail himself of what is given him, then will he see each situation that he thought before was means to justify his anger turned to an event which justifies his love. He will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard before are really calls to peace. He will perceive that where he gave attack is but another altar where he can, with equal ease and far more happiness, bestow forgiveness. And he will reinterpret all temptation as just another chance to bring him joy.

Let all your brother’s errors be to you nothing except a chance for you to see the workings of the Helper given you to see the world He made instead of yours. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.III.1;6;7:2. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Perception is ego’s substitute for God’s law that Love creates Itself. The wish for specialness blinded us to the Light of Love and left us in darkness. Because true vision is impossible in the dark, the ego made perception to fill the darkness with images that gave specialness and separation the appearance of reality. As long as we choose to believe in separation, the world we experience will always have conflict, fear and guilt.

But we have another choice that transforms the world we experience to a means for waking to the changeless Light of Love. When we choose to accept the Holy Spirit’s way of seeing the world, we learn that images have no substance. We learn to see beyond the images to changeless Love by forgiving ourselves for making images that deny Love.

With the Holy Spirit as our Guide to seeing, our day to day experiences become opportunities to let go of false perception (forgive) and see that only Love is real. Instead of seeing conflict we see calls for Love and the Love that we are answers the call. The world is seen as a place of joy because it is a place of extending and joining in Love. Let this be our chosen purpose for this new year.
