Let the Peace in You Extend

The extension of the Holy Spirit’s purpose from your relationship to others, to bring them gently in, is the way in which He will bring means and goal in line. The peace He lay, deep within you and your brother, will quietly extend to every aspect of your life, surrounding you and your brother with glowing happiness and the calm awareness of complete protection. And you will carry its message of love and safety and freedom to everyone who draws nigh unto your temple, where healing waits for him.

“When you look with gentle graciousness upon your brother, you are beholding [the Holy Spirit]. For you are looking where He is, and not apart from Him. You cannot see the Holy Spirit, but you can see your brothers truly. And the light in them will show you all that you need to see. When the peace in you has been extended to encompass everyone, the Holy Spirit’s function here will be accomplished. (A Course in Miracles, T-19.IV.1:5-7;3:2-6)

The Holy Spirit will extend peace through you as you allow it to extend to everyone you meet. The blessings that come with the extension of Holy Spirit’s peace are many. You are healed along with every brother. You are filled with a sense of safety and gratitude as you follow the Holy Spirit’s plan for the awakening of the Sonship from the dream of separation. Joy fills your heart for you know that you are joined with your brother in Love.

Seeing Our Brother as Sinless

For what is Heaven but union, direct and perfect, and without the veil of fear upon it? Here are we one, looking with perfect gentleness upon each other and on ourselves. Here all thoughts of any separation between us become impossible. You who were a prisoner in separation are now made free in Paradise. And here would I unite with you, my friend, my brother and my Self.

There is no fear in perfect love because it knows no sin, and it must look on others as on itself. …See [your brother] as sinless, and there can be no fear in you. (A Course in Miracles, T-20.III.10:3-7;11:3,9)

We receive God’s peace as we see our brother as sinless. As we practice this, we are merely seeing the truth. The Holy Spirit will show us the innocence in every brother as we consistently ask to receive the truth about our brother and ourselves. Fear disappears and is replaced by the Light of Heaven. We are able to feel Heaven’s peace and Love and joy fill our heart and mind. In gratitude we make it our highest priority to see our sinless brother all through the day.

Teach Only Love for That is What You Are

To teach is to demonstrate. There are only two thought systems, and you demonstrate that you believe one or the other is true all the time. From your demonstration others learn, and so do you. The question is not whether you will teach, for in that there is no choice. …Any situation must be to you a chance to teach others what you are, and what they are to you. (A Course in Miracles, M-in.2:1-4,10)

In every moment we teach either fear or Love. If we believe we are separate, we teach fear because it is frightening to believe we are separate from the Source of all strength. Through the practice of forgiveness, we teach Love because forgiveness is Love’s reflection in the world.

Every time that we remember to choose Holy Spirit’s interpretation of everything, we teach Love. The Holy Spirit knows that only Love is real; that nothing ever happened that is cause for guilt or fear. We let Holy Spirit teach us as we let His interpretation show us the Truth beyond all appearances. As we turn over all judgment to the Holy Spirit, we teach and learn that we are all one in Love. And we demonstrate Love by reflecting Love through forgiveness.

Choosing the Guide to Happiness

Everyone in the world is searching. Which guide we follow in our search determines whether we find hell or Heaven, conflict or peace. When we identify with the ego, we are directed to look for forms in the world — a special partner, status, pleasure, money or a myriad other forms that we think will bring us happiness. Even if we seem to achieve some of these goals and experience a little happiness, it never lasts because the forms we seek are empty illusions with no meaning.

But there is a Guide for our search That will lead us where true and lasting happiness is eternally. This Guide, our true Self, leads us to the truth. It leads us to recognize the Love we are and to remember our Source. True happiness is an attribute of Love. It is already ours. We don’t recognize it because we turn our backs on it when we search for happiness in forms.

As we practice redirecting our attention from the ego to our true Self as our Guide, we are led to let go of valuing empty forms and to welcome the Love that is our Source and our Being. Each time we let go of a mistaken belief, of a judgment or a fear with the help of our true Self, we move a step closer to the joy that is our inheritance from our Source.

Love Sees Only Innocence

God does not forgive because He has never condemned. And there must be condemnation before forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the great need of this world, but that is because it is a world of illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from illusions, while those who withhold forgiveness are binding themselves to them. As you condemn only yourself, so do you forgive only yourself.

Yet although God does not forgive, His Love is nevertheless the basis of forgiveness. Fear condemns and love forgives. Forgiveness thus undoes what fear has produced, returning the mind to the awareness of God. For this reason, forgiveness can truly be called salvation. It is the means by which illusions disappear. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.46.1-2)

The ego’s greatest need is to project guilt. To let go of the bondage of the ego, our greatest need is to open to God’s Love, Which sees past the ego’s guilt to the innocence which is eternally there. Love sees past separation to our true Identity as eternal Love. This means that we all are eternal Love right now.

Today we open to the Light of true forgiveness and recognize that only Love is everywhere. We bring all thoughts of fear and guilt to the Voice of Love within to help us see as Love sees. We are grateful that only Love is real

The Gifts of Forgiveness

Open your eyes today and look upon a happy world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the means by which it comes to take the place of hell. In quietness it rises up to greet your open eyes, and fill your heart with deep tranquility as ancient truths, forever newly born, arise in your awareness. What you will remember then can never be described. Yet your forgiveness offers it to you.

Today it will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers, and the joy the lifting of the veil holds out to you.

Before the light you will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world arise you have no words to picture. Now we walk directly into light, and we receive the gifts that have been held in store for us since time began, kept waiting for today. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.122.8;11:2;12:2)

All our stress, anxiety, fear and guilt are the effect of unforgiveness, of hanging on to the belief that we succeeded in separating from our Source. Forgiveness dismantles the veil that hides God’s gifts given us in our creation. Forgiveness reveals the Love we are that is everywhere to be seen. Forgiveness lets us rejoin the Self we share with all our brothers so that once again we remember that we dwell in perfect peace and quiet joy eternally. The gifts forgiveness gives are beyond words to describe. As we accept these gifts we know that we have no needs for all that we could ever need is already given us.

Today we are given another opportunity to clear away the veil and welcome the vision offered us by our true Self that shows us we are in Heaven now.
