Returning to Reality

Behind the experience of a world of separation is the Reality of our one true Self. Our true Self is changeless Love where there are no differences. There is no past and future because there is no time. There is only the eternal, changeless Presence of Love, which shares all of Itself equally with All That Is.

We all are in the process of returning to Reality, returning to the awareness that we are all of Love and in Love eternally. In order to return to Reality, we need to let go of or forgive our belief in unreality, of being separate and alone. This letting go of the idea of separation is what time is for now. We do this by taking all our thoughts about what we are and where we are to our true Self to have our thoughts transformed. It is only our true Self that is aware that we are pure Love and nothing else.

Today we practice stepping back from what we think is true and letting our mind be healed of all our false ideas of what we are and where we are. We open our minds to be enlightened by Truth. We let our minds be healed today. We are in great gratitude that we have all the help we need as so as we are willing to step back and receive the help.

Making Stress-Free Decisions

Every decision we try to make on our own in the world is fraught with uncertainty. No matter how hard we try, we know that there are unknown potential consequences of the decision. Thankfully, we have within our minds a Resource we can go to That does know all consequences and what will be truly helpful to all.

It is time to relinquish all attempts to make decisions on our own. By turning decisions over to our inner Source of Wisdom, we relieve ourselves of anxiety, stress, uncertainty and guilt. We make way for the gentle flow of Love’s peace and happiness to experience and to give. We make way for the deep fulfillment that comes with accepting our function.

Today we join with the Source of Wisdom within in all our decisions. And it will be a day of peace and gratitude.

Holy Spirit, Help Me See This Differently

This is our prayer today: Holy Spirit, when I look out through the body’s eyes, I see separation everywhere. Everything is distinct, different, unique and separated off from everything else. The world was made to make separation appear real. The world was made to be different from our Source, which always extends Love’s oneness.

Help me to see as You see today, Holy Spirit. Help me to see past separation to the truth of Love’s oneness. Lift me up when I get lost in believing what my physical eyes are showing me. Remind me of the truth that separation could never be real.

Help me to see past separation to the same Christ Mind in everyone I encounter or even think of. Help me remember that nothing has ever happened to change God’s one Son. I choose with You, Holy Spirit. Help me to use every circumstance as a means to wake up from the false belief in separation.

As I accept your help, I receive the miracle of true perception. I see Love’s oneness behind every separate form. I relax and follow Your lead today, knowing that as I ask with true desire, I receive as I have asked. I heal in great gratitude.

Being a Messenger of Unity with God

It is through [the Voice for God’s] ability to hear one Voice which is His Own that you become aware at last there is one Voice in you. And that one Voice appoints your function, and relays it to you, giving you the strength to understand it, do what it entails, and to succeed in everything you do that is related to it. God has joined His Son in this, and thus His Son becomes His messenger of unity with Him. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.154.3)

In general terms we have one function — to forgive, to look past all appearances. In each moment the Voice for God gives us the specific application of forgiveness. Whatever we perceive in the world needs to be recognized as just an appearance and looked past to see the unity of Love.

The appearance may be in the form of a relationship, a bill to pay, a piece of equipment to repair or a deadline to meet. From the perspective of separation, these may bring up feelings of irritation, frustration, stress or some other form of disturbance of our peace. They are all opportunities to apply the one function given us by our inner Teacher.

We can look past all appearances to the unity of Love if we accept the Holy Spirit’s help. He gives us His strength and His vision. It is through His strength, not our own as a separate identity, that we are able to look beyond appearances. His strength is enough to guarantee success when we are willing to accept His help.

Today we dedicate to accepting the strength of God in us, offered us by the Holy Spirit, so that we may be messengers of God’s unity.

Following Our Father’s Voice

Father, You are the One Who gave the plan for my salvation to me. You have set the way I am to go, the role to take, and every step in my appointed path. I cannot lose the way. I can but choose to wander off a while, and then return. Your loving Voice will always call me back, and guide my feet aright. My brothers all can follow in the way I lead them. Yet I merely follow in the way to You, as You direct me and would have me go. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.324.1)

It is time to resign as our own guide. We have followed a path of lovelessness, lack and loss. It is time to choose to follow the loving Voice given us by our Creator. This Voice calls us Home, leading us on a path to infinite Love, perfect safety and freedom from fear.

To receive the guidance of this Voice, we need to frequently pause and connect with the center of peace within. This Voice is heard in quiet and in this quiet the Voice helps us resolve every seeming problem. This Voice for Love always leads us Home. We are grateful that this is so.

We Choose Love as Our Guide

We dedicate today to making all decisions, all interpretations, with our true Self as our Guide. The little self, which is separated off from the Source of Wisdom, knows nothing and cannot judge what anything means. We set aside all that the little self has learned in the illusion of separation.

As we choose to let our inner Guide lead, every situation, every relationship, every moment becomes a lesson in Love. Being Love’s Messenger, our Guide will always show us the Love behind every appearance. Love naturally joins with Love. As we follow Love’s lead, we experience more fully the limitless Love we are and our hearts are filled with gratitude.

Choosing Peace in the Present Moment

Today we practice accepting God’s peace and extending God’s peace to the world… We open our minds to receive Love’s precious gifts… With peace comes Holy Spirit’s inspiration in how to be truly helpful in the present moment…

Today we hand over all our worries and concerns, and open to the Holy Spirit’s clear perception… We let the happiness that is an inherent quality of Love fill our hearts and minds… All this naturally comes as we take the first step of choosing peace instead of conflict.
