Walking the World in Peace and Happiness

I will be still an instant and go home.

This world you seem to live in is not home to you. ²And somewhere in your mind you know that this is true. ³A memory of home keeps haunting you, as if there were a place that called you to return, although you do not recognize the voice, nor what it is the voice reminds you of. ⁴Yet still you feel an alien here, from somewhere all unknown.

We speak today for everyone who walks this world, for he is not at home. ²He goes uncertainly about in endless search, seeking in darkness what he cannot find; not recognizing what it is he seeks. ³A thousand homes he makes, yet none contents his restless mind. ⁴He does not understand he builds in vain. ⁵The home he seeks can not be made by him. ⁶There is no substitute for Heaven. ⁷All he ever made was hell.

When you are still an instant, when the world recedes from you, when valueless ideas cease to have value in your restless mind, then will you hear His Voice.

⁹Be still an instant and go home with Him, and be at peace a while. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 182, W-182.1:1-4;3;8:1;12:9. See also ACIM Lesson 182 Insights.)

The ego fills our mind with chatter. Its thoughts are always some form of repetition of the past. Even its thoughts about the future are built upon thoughts of the past. Neither the past nor the stories the ego makes up about the future are real. But as long as we think these thoughts have value or meaning, we are unaware of the eternal Love in the present moment. The present lasts forever so the future can only be known in the present instant. The future is Love just as Love is now. Only Love is real.

Today we practice disengaging from the ego’s thoughts by reminding ourselves they have no value. They offer nothing that we truly want. We step back and make way for the Voice for Love to speak to us. It speaks to us of our safety and our eternal unity with our Creator. It reminds us of our true Home so we can bring this memory with us while we walk the world in peace and happiness.

Choosing the Easy Path to Freedom

The Holy Spirit needs my voice today, that all the world may listen to Your Voice, and hear Your Word through me. ²I am resolved to let You speak through me, for I would use no words but Yours, and have no thoughts which are apart from Yours, for only Yours are true. ³I would be savior to the world I made. ⁴For having damned it I would set it free, that I may find escape, and hear the Word Your holy Voice will speak to me today.

We teach today what we would learn, and that alone. ²And so our learning goal becomes an unconflicted one, and possible of easy reach and quick accomplishment. ³How gladly does the Holy Spirit come to rescue us from hell, when we allow His teaching to persuade the world, through us, to seek and find the easy path to God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 296, W-296.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 296 Insights.)

The easy path to God is to resign as our own teacher and put the Holy Spirit in charge of our lesson plan. He knows the way to heal our fear-based thoughts. As we step back and let Him lead the way, we are directed to learn the lessons that show us illusions for what they are. Illusions recognized are easily released and the truth rushes in to fill the space made empty by our willingness.

As we accept truth in place of illusions, we demonstrate the blessing of Holy Spirit’s lead through our words and actions. We are more peaceful. We smile and laugh more often. Our words carry healing messages of Love. We are truly helpful because Love is our Guide.

Today we choose the easy path to freedom by welcoming the Holy Spirit’s lessons in Love.

Choosing to Follow Holy Spirit

This day I choose to spend in perfect peace.

It does not seem to me that I can choose to have but peace today. ²And yet, my God assures me that His Son is like Himself. ³Let me this day have faith in Him Who says I am God’s Son. ⁴And let the peace I choose be mine today bear witness to the truth of what He says. ⁵God’s Son can have no cares, and must remain forever in the peace of Heaven. ⁶In His Name, I give today to finding what my Father wills for me, accepting it as mine, and giving it to all my Father’s Sons, along with me.

And so, my Father, would I pass this day with You. ²Your Son has not forgotten You. ³The peace You gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I choose to spend today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 255. See also ACIM Lesson 255 Insights.)

In the ego’s dream, peace must be a choice. It cannot come from the ego because the ego denies the Source of peace. But we do not have to accept the ego’s meager offerings. We have the choice to accept what God gave us as His Son. It is the choice that denies the ego’s denial of Love and thus “sacrifices” nothing to gain everything.

God’s gift of all of Himself is all there is to give, all there is to have. We do not have to qualify for His gifts. They are given without limit nor conditions because God knows His Son as He knows Himself. Today we choose to follow the Voice for God to lead us out of our mistaken allegiance and reclaim God’s gift of perfect peace. It is ours now. It needs only to be accepted to be experienced.
