Remembering Who We Are

I am in the likeness of my Creator. I cannot suffer, I cannot experience loss and I cannot die. I am not a body. I would recognize my reality today. I will worship no idols, nor raise my own self-concept to replace my Self. I am in the likeness of my Creator. Love created me like itself.

Love holds no grievances. Grievances are completely alien to love. Grievances attack love and keep its light obscure. If I hold grievances I am attacking love, and therefore attacking my Self. My Self thus becomes alien to me. I am determined not to attack my Self today, so that I can remember Who I am. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.84.1:2-7,3:1-6)

I let Love fill my heart and mind today. If grievances come up, I hand them to Love. I let the Light of Love shine away the shadows of grievances. Letting Love lead the way is my highest priority. This is all I want. This is all I need. And I am grateful that Love is all that is real.

Accepting Our Real Life in God

Each time I am able to take a long-standing resentment to the Holy Spirit and receive His gift of vision that shows me it had no cause, I move another step closer to full awareness of my Life of Love. Forgiveness gives me the gift of Life. By God’s grace, all the illusions I have made cannot change the reality that my Life is Love and nothing else. Forgiveness is the means by which I accept His grace. In every moment I have the opportunity to let go of the past and be free to live my real Life.

Holy Spirit, I give my mind to you today to guide and protect with the power of your Love. I ask your help to recognize my mistaken ideas that interfere with my awareness of true Life. Separation and individuality are not Life. But I have thought they were. I need your help, Holy Spirit, to recognize the illusions I have made for what they are. I am willing to be taught. I am willing to let illusions go and receive the gift of Life, long since given and mine now. Thank you Holy Spirit for your comfort, your strength and your sure direction.
(Excerpt from Pathways of Light Daily Lesson Insights, Lesson 179)

You Are Being Carried

No needs will long be left unmet if you leave them all to Him Whose function is to meet them. That is His function, and not yours. …What you give through Him is for the whole Sonship, not for part of it. Leave Him His function, for He will fulfill it if you but ask Him to enter your relationships, and bless them for you. (A Course in Miracles, T-16.I.7:4-5,8-9)

Our greatest need is to return to the awareness that we are the Love of God that we have denied is ours. As we open to the help of the Holy Spirit, the Love that we have denied returns to us and extends through us. As we continue to receive the Love and extend the Love of our true Nature, we see that our needs are met. We are comforted and we bring comfort to others.

As we are able to surrender or hand over our false ideas of separation, the Light of peace and joy and Love fills our hearts and minds… As we join with the Mind of the Holy Spirit, we see that we are being carried — we see with the vision of the Holy Spirit. We see the Spirit of Holiness in everyone.

Rise Above to See the Love

As we open our minds to receive the Truth, we are brought to the awareness of Love’s presence… We are brought to the awareness of the truth of Love’s oneness behind the illusions of separation… We are brought to the awareness that nothing can really happen to change the eternal Presence of Love… In reality we are safe… All is well… We all are still as God created us, despite the illusions we have made up.

As we let our minds be brought to the Truth, we are filled with a sense of safety and of peace… We are filled with a sense of the innate happiness that resides within us all… Our true Self comes to the surface of our minds and we are able to feel the inherent Love, peace and joy that is eternally…

Today we allow time to open to the Truth… We let ourselves be carried above the concepts of the world of separation… We are brought to the awareness of Love’s eternal Presence… We let happiness fill our hearts and minds… We are filled with a sense of our true purpose… We would join with the truth today. And we are filled with gratitude for our eternal reality in Love.

Receiving the Help That Is Given Us

We are eternally immersed in God’s peace and joy. If we are not supremely happy, we must be following the ego’s advice which will always direct us to seek and not find the happiness we really want. The best the ego can offer is empty substitutes that may give the appearance of happiness but that have no substance and will not last.

If we are not having a happy day, we can safely conclude that there must be a better way. To see that better way, we start by acknowledging to ourselves that what we are experiencing is not what we want. We must be seeking in the wrong direction.

When we ask for help with this increased willingness, we are open to receive the Help that is given us. It is easier to step aside from insistence on our idea of what will make us happy because it is clear that it has not worked. Now we can receive Holy Spirit’s vision that will show us how to accept God’s gift of perfect happiness. Now we are willing to accept God’s World of Love in place of the ego’s world of fear.

Today we practice being open to this change in perception.

Our Real Identity Is Spirit

You are the spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father’s Love and peace and joy. You are the spirit which completes Himself, and shares His function as Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.97.2:2-4)

If we want to experience God’s gifts of Love and peace and joy, we must dis-identify with the body and form as our identity. Our real Identity is Spirit. To know the gifts of Spirit, we must identify with the truth of What we are. Spirit has no limits. Spirit is all that is real. By Its very nature, Spirit is joined with all that is Real. Nothing outside of Spirit exists. As we accept Spirit as What we are, we know our invulnerability, for we know there is nothing outside us that could bring harm.

If any circumstance or thought or seeming memory disturbs our peace, it is a sure sign that we are identifying with a false image and denying the Spirit we are. It is time to step back from that false identity and turn to the Holy Spirit in our mind for help to accept our real Identity. The Holy Spirit remembers for us that we are Spirit, one Self, united with our Creator. As we open our hearts and minds to receive Holy Spirit’s healing lessons, we are taught to recognize the false images for what they are. Once these false images are recognized, they are easily laid down. We open our minds to the recognition of our Self.

Holy Spirit, guide my thoughts today. Help me to recognize the false thoughts and see past them. Give me Your strength when I mistakenly believe in weakness. Wrap me in Your Love when I am believing I am in a loveless world. Help me to see the reality of Love that is ever present.

God Is the Strength in Which We Trust

Because we were created of God and remain in God, God is our only strength. God is our only reality because we remain in the Mind of God as we were created.

As we become willing to return Home to our true Reality, we are led to the awareness of Truth… As we let the door be opened to the Light of our reality as universal Love, we see the world differently… Our trust in truth becomes stronger; our trust in illusions diminishes…

We reside in a peaceful state of mind and are more likely to laugh at fear thoughts than to take them seriously… Our patience is strong… We remember that the Love we are cannot be threatened.… We cannot lose and we cannot be harmed by all the thoughts the ego mind comes up with… God is the strength in which we trust…
