Choosing the Guide to Happiness

God gives me only happiness.
He has given my function to me.
Therefore my function must be happiness.

We have seen that there are only two parts of your mind. One is ruled by the ego, and is made up of illusions. The other is the home of the Holy Spirit, where truth abides. There are no other guides but these to choose between, and no other outcomes possible as a result of your choice but the fear that the ego always engenders, and the love [happiness] that the Holy Spirit always offers to replace it. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.66.5:2-4;7:2-5)

We have a choice today as to how we will experience the world. We can choose to see through the eyes of separation, which brings fear, guilt and isolation. Or, we can see with Holy Spirit’s eyes which bring us past separation’s image making to the quiet fields of Love that are eternally present. Choosing to see through Holy Spirit’s eyes brings us only happiness. Choosing to see through the ego’s eyes brings us frustration, anger and unhappiness.

Today we practice vigilance to step back from the ego’s clouds of differences that hide the face of Christ from our awareness. Today we choose Holy Spirit’s offerings of peace and Love and eternal happiness. Today we would be happy.

Accepting the Vision of Christ

Christ’s vision sees past the images of the world of separation. It shows us the truth of Love that is everywhere. Being formless, Love cannot be seen by the body’s eyes, which see only form. To accept the vision of Christ, we must change our allegiance from the body to the Spirit of Love that we are. Forgiveness is the means that helps us let go of our belief in the body and the forms it sees.

Today is a day to be vigilant of our thoughts to see past the form to the Love that is always there. The ego thought system of separation cannot see the Love. We are willing to accept Holy Spirit’s help. He sees what we see but doesn’t believe it. And so the Holy Spirit can help us release our belief in the false, can help us forgive our false imaginings. This is how we clear away the clouds of mistaken thinking and accept the Light of Love that Christ’s vision shows us.

We Are Willing to Accept Truth Today

Truth and happiness always come together. When we accept the truth of our oneness in Love, the joy of Love comes with it. We see our brothers as one with us and experience the joy of knowing that we are complete in Love. There is no loss nor lack. We know we are eternally in Love and experience the comfort that comes with knowing that we can never be without Love.

We accept the truth through forgiveness — by seeing past appearances in form to the vision of wholeness and innocence that comes from our true Self. Today we will remind ourselves often that we want to see the Light of Love everywhere and we are willing to accept the help we need to let go of anything that interferes with this vision. We are willing to accept Truth today.

We Walk with God

Forget not once this journey is begun the end is certain. Doubt along the way will come and go and go to come again. Yet is the ending sure. No one can fail to do what God appointed him to do. When you forget, remember that you walk with Him and with His Word upon your heart. Who could despair when hope like this is his? Illusions of despair may seem to come, but learn how not to be deceived by them. Behind each [illusion] there is reality and there is God. Why would you wait for [Reality] and trade it for illusions, when His Love is but an instant farther on the road where all illusions end? The end is sure and guaranteed by God. Who stands before a lifeless image when a step away the Holy of the Holies opens up an ancient door that leads beyond the world? (A Course in Miracles, C-ep.1)

Today let us remember all the help we have as we go through our “trials and tribulations.” Let us remember that we walk with God. His Strength is always with us. He holds the truth unchanged for us. As we walk the road, let us remember that we are as a little child and listen to the wisdom of our Father. He knows the way and we trust that He will lead us out of illusions back to the eternal Spirit of Love we are, at one with Him.

Finding Your True Self

Holiness created me holy.
Kindness created me kind.
Helpfulness created me helpful.
Perfection created me perfect.

Any attribute which is in accord with God as He defines Himself is appropriate for use. We are trying today to undo your definition of God and replace it with His Own. We are also trying to emphasize that you are part of His definition of Himself.

…reach past all your images and preconceptions about yourself to the truth in you. If Love created you like Itself, this Self must be in you. And somewhere in your mind It is there for you to find.” (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.67.2:3-9;3:1-3)

Today our practice is to open our minds to the eternal presence of our true Self. Our true Self knows how to handle every situation with Love in a way that provides perfect healing for everyone concerned. Our true Self reverses all the laws of the world. Finding our true Self opens us up to the unlimited power of Love.

Today we let the power of Love lead the way. We let the power of Love heal our minds and extend healing to all through our willingness to remember the eternal truth about ourselves and everyone.

Trusting That We Are Safe in God

If we truly want to be happy, we will open up to the inner awareness that happiness is ours when we allow it to return to our minds… Happiness is ours when we open up to God our Source… Opening up to God is the same as opening up to our innate peace, Love and joy… It is always there, waiting for our acceptance.

As we more consistently place our trust in God in every circumstance, we grow in the awareness of the truth about ourselves and everyone in this world… All this comes as we trust that we are safe in God.

Letting Your Light Shine

In order to let our light shine, we must first be willing to receive the Light of Truth within us… In truth, Love created us like Itself… In truth, we are still as God created us… We are the pure, formless Spirit of Love, sharing all Love with all, receiving all Love from all…

Today we practice stepping back from the ego’s thoughts of being separate bodies with separate minds and opening to the truth of God’s Oneness. From this state of mind, our Light shines naturally, with no effort at all. Today we are carried as we open to the truth and extend the truth. We see the Christ in every brother and follow Holy Spirit’s lead all through the day.
