Learning That Peace Is Ours

You are your brother’s savior. ²He is yours. ³Reason speaks happily indeed of this. ⁴This gracious plan was given love by Love. ⁵And what Love plans is like Itself in this: Being united, It would have you learn what you must be. ⁶And being one with [Love], it must be given you to give what It has given, and gives still. ⁷Spend but an instant in the glad acceptance of what is given you to give your brother, and learn with him what has been given both of you. ⁸To give is no more blessed than to receive. ⁹But neither is it less.

The Son of God is always blessed as one. ²And as his gratitude goes out to you who blessed him, reason will tell you that it cannot be you stand apart from blessing. ³The gratitude he offers you reminds you of the thanks your Father gives you for completing Him. ⁴And here alone does reason tell you that you can understand what you must be. ⁵Your Father is as close to you as is your brother. ⁶Yet what is there that could be nearer you than is your Self? (A Course in Miracles, T-21.VI.9–10. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

We bless our brothers by recognizing we are one and the same Love. This recognition must apply to both ourself and our brother. The Holy Spirit’s singular teaching is that we are one in Love and nothing else. The ego cannot show us this reality. Its voice speaks only of Love’s denial.

The Holy Spirit’s Voice speaks only of Love. As we accept Its lessons, we learn to see past the conflicts in the world to the unity of Love that keeps us eternally united with our Creator. Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s lessons. With His help, we will teach peace and learn that it is ours.

Letting Our Misperceptions Be Healed

²Truth has no meaning in illusion. ³The frame of reference for its meaning must be itself. ⁴When you try to bring truth to illusions, you are trying to make illusions real, and keep them by justifying your belief in them. ⁵But to give illusions to truth is to enable truth to teach that the illusions are unreal, and thus enable you to escape from them. ⁶Reserve not one idea aside from truth, or you establish orders of reality that must imprison you. ⁷There is no order in reality, because everything there is true.

Be willing, then, to give all you have held outside the truth to Him Who knows the truth, and in Whom all is brought to truth. ²Salvation from separation would be complete, or will not be at all. ³Be not concerned with anything except your willingness to have this be accomplished. ⁴He will accomplish it; not you. ⁵But forget not this: When you become disturbed and lose your peace of mind because another is attempting to solve his problems through fantasy, you are refusing to forgive yourself for just this same attempt. ⁶And you are holding both of you away from truth and from salvation. ⁷As you forgive him, you restore to truth what was denied by both of you. ⁸And you will see forgiveness where you have given it. (A Course in Miracles, T-17.I.5:2–6:8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

In any moment that our peace is disturbed, it means we are believing an illusion is real. The ego wants us to believe that the disturbance is caused by something real and outside of us. But we are really seeing what we believe about ourselves projected on an “outside” world.

When we believe we are separate, we see an outside world, separate from us, filled with images of separation. This is why the ego’s world is filled with fear and guilt. It sees itself reflected everywhere, although the external forms seem completely out of our control.

As we are willing to give our perceptions to the Holy Spirit in our mind, He will help us recognize their unreality. Our function is only to hand our perceptions to Him and be willing to let them go. The Holy Spirit will do the rest in bringing healing to our troubled mind. As we accept His help, we can be at peace in the appearance of turmoil. We can offer Love in answer to calls for Love. Each time we accept His help, the Light of Love within shines more brightly in our mind.

Today we practice accepting the Holy Spirit’s help.
