We Choose Peace Today

Peace is the state where love abides, and seeks to share itself. Conflict and peace are opposites. Where one abides the other cannot be; where either goes the other disappears. So is the memory of God obscured in minds that have become illusions’ battleground. Yet far beyond this senseless war it shines, ready to be remembered when you side with peace. (A Course in Miracles, T-23.I.12:5-9. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Peace is a state of mind. When our mind is quiet, the memory of Love’s gentleness and kindness returns. When our mind is quiet, the Holy Spirit can bring us the perfect inspiration that we need for mind healing. We feel comforted, loved and loving. We are aware of Love’s presence. We receive Love and extend Love to everyone equally.

Because we want to be happy and return to the truth, we choose peace instead of conflict today.

Accepting God’s Security Blanket

Thank You Holy Spirit for Your ever present Love. I would practice listening to Your Voice all through the day, remembering that I am surrounded by God’s Love. I would remain open to accepting Your peace. I would remember that my heart is beating in the peace of God. Let me attend Your answer, not my own. (Excerpt from Pathways of Light Daily ACIM Lesson 267 Insights. Click here to read A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 267.)

Imagine what it would feel like to spend a day feeling God’s Love wrapping us in Its “security blanket.” God’s security blanket is always with us because we are eternally contained in all of God’s Love. We cannot be without it. We truly live in perfect safety and perfect peace. We open to the experience of this security by practicing listening to the Voice for God all through the day. This Voice will always guide us in the way of peace, safety, joy and Love.

Seeing My Brother as Part of My One Self

My thoughts are images that I have made. Whatever I see reflects my thoughts. It is my thoughts that tell me where I am and what I am. The fact that I see a world in which there is suffering and loss and death shows me that I am seeing only the representation of my insane thoughts, and am not allowing my real thoughts to cast their beneficent light on what I see. Yet God’s way is sure. The images I have made cannot prevail against Him because it is not my will that they do so. My will is His, and I will place no other gods before Him. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.53.5. See also ACIM Lesson 53 Insights.)

If I truly do not want to place other gods before God, I will remember to connect with the Christ in every brother. When I connect with my brother’s true Self, I will see him as he truly is, not what I have made of him. I will see his true Self, rather than my own projections.

As I connect with his true Self, I will be told what is most truly helpful in every situation. What is most truly helpful for my brother is most truly helpful for me. This is why we go Home together.

Today I will reinforce the practice of opening up to God’s Way. God sees every brother as part of Himself. God sees only the Love that is eternal and never changes. I will see as God sees when I see my brother as part of my one Self. This is my practice for today.

Bringing Love’s Healing to the World

My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today
Have but one purpose; to be given Christ
To use to bless the world with miracles.
(A Course in Miracles, W-pII.353. See also ACIM Lesson 353 Insights.)

As we give all our doing to Christ, our true Self, we are guided in the way of Love. Love is extended in the world and we experience Love’s blessing in all that we do. Through this dedication, Love’s gentleness and kindness blesses the world.

With this dedication, we become instruments of healing. We bring Love where there has appeared to be lack of Love. We join with the Love that is the true Self we share with everyone. We feel blessed as we see everyone as our brother and dearest Friend. This is how we do our part in bringing Love’s healing to the world.

Vigilance for Peace

Let me not wander from the way of peace, for I am lost on other roads than this. But let me follow Him Who leads me home, and peace is certain as the Love of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.220.1:2-3. See also ACIM Lesson 220 Insights.)

The slightest disturbance of our peace is a sure sign that we have wandered from the Love of God. We have wandered into fear. Fear is Love’s opposite, but as it says in the Introduction to the Text, Love has no opposite. And so fear is a sign we have wandered into an illusion that could never be real and therefore does not exist in truth.

The practice of being vigilant for peace, mindful of our level of peace, is how we keep ourselves from wandering from God’s peace. Any disturbance to our peace becomes a warning sign to remind us that it is time to return our attention to the peace within. In this peace we are receptive to the Holy Spirit’s lead, which will always show us the way back to peace. Vigilance for peace and willingness to follow Holy Spirit’s lead is our way Home.

A Prayer for Help to See Innocence

Holy Spirit, let me see the innocence that comes with seeing through the eyes of Christ. Let me see the purity of Spirit that lies behind every form of separation in this world. Let me remember the truth that only God’s creation is real.

Let me let go of thinking that I am outside of Heaven. Let me let go of insane dreams of separation. Let me release all blame and guilt, sorrow and suffering, pain and death. These thoughts are not worthy of my belief. Help me to let them go. These dreams do not mean anything. Help me let go of making the error real.

Holy Spirit, you know what is best for me on my journey of return to Heaven. You know that I never left. I open my mind to You and follow Your lead. Teach me the simple path of return. The path gets simpler as I pay attention to Your words, to Your insight. I would listen today and be guided to seeing through the eyes of Christ.

Joining with Our True Self

You are as God created you. Today honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the Son of God instead of what he is be worshipped not today. Deep in your mind the holy Christ in you is waiting your acknowledgment as you. And you are lost and do not know yourself while He is unacknowledged and unknown.

Seek Him today, and find Him. He will be your Savior from all idols you have made. For when you find Him, you will understand how worthless are your idols, and how false the images which you believed were you. Today we make a great advance to truth by letting idols go, and opening our hands and hearts and minds to God today. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.110.9-10. See also ACIM Lesson 110 Insights.)

In stillness I find the Christ Mind… I let go of all the busy thoughts of the world… I soften… I relax… let go… I have one focus and that is to open to my true Self today… I let in the Light of Truth and feel its healing peace…

Here I find my true Self, the one Self I share with everyone… Here I am led to the universal Mind of God… Here Love is shared equally with all… I let myself rest in the healing peace that is here… Here there are no worries… no cares… only peace eternal… Here there is only blessing… comfort… safety… and Love… I am given whatever insight is most helpful for healing my mind right now…

I feel so grateful that I have the means to join with my true Self and share It with every brother.
