Letting Ourselves Be Carried

Gradually, [the teacher of God] learns how to let his words be chosen for him by ceasing to decide for himself what he will say. This process is merely a special case of the lesson in the workbook that says, “I will step back and let Him lead the way.” The teacher of God accepts the words which are offered him, and gives as he receives. He does not control the direction of his speaking. He listens and hears and speaks. (A Course in Miracles, M-22.4:5-8)

No aspect of our experience in the dream of separation is exempt from Holy Spirit’s help. We are always within reach of God’s Help. We need only be willing to step back and let Him lead the way.

Today we practice keeping our mind at peace and open to Holy Spirit’s lead. We trust that we will be given what we need to say when words are needed. We will be given the thoughts we need, whether they need to be expressed aloud or not. We will be given all the help we need to fulfill our part in God’s plan. With this practice, we will let ourselves be carried through the day.

Trusting in Our Brother

The Course tells us to trust in our brother who is one with us. This brother who is one with us is not a body or a personality, but is part of the One Self God created as His Son. To trust in the brother who is one with us is to trust in Love and nothing else.

The ego is incapable of this trust because it is incapable of recognizing the oneness of Love. It sees only its own projections. To trust in the Truth of our brothers, we must forgive or let go of the ego’s projections. We do this by bringing all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit with an open mind, willing to receive His reinterpretation.

The Holy Spirit will cleanse our thoughts of the false ideas the ego has laid upon the world and show us the Reality of Love that lies beyond. Today is another day to practice letting the Holy Spirit be our Guide in each moment. Thus will we learn to trust in the Truth in our brother.

Teaching Only Love

Of ourselves alone, we do not know our best interests, we do not know what will make us truly happy. Believing we are alone is a denial of our true Self, the Self that Love created and is only happy at Home in Love. The world we see is an illusion that hides our Self, the Love we are, from our awareness.

To find what will bring us true happiness, we need a Guide Who can see past our illusions and help us awaken to the truth of our one Self, at Home in God. We dedicate today to the moment-by-moment practice of opening to peace and welcoming the Holy Spirit’s guidance in all our doing. With His guidance, our doing will reflect Love’s presence. Our thoughts and our deeds will extend Love in the world and teach only Love, reminding us that Love is What we are.

Is This Thought from Ego or Holy Spirit?

Today we practice watching our thoughts. We welcome the Holy Spirit to help us discern the truth from illusion. The Holy Spirit will help us recognize thoughts stemming from separation if we are willing.

We want a better way. We want to wake up from the dream of separation. We want the peace, happiness and joy that is our natural inheritance. We are willing to join with Holy Spirit to let our minds be purified of the impostor ego thoughts. We have deceived ourselves, and now we would be undeceived. We accept the strength of God instead of our beliefs in weakness and vulnerability.

The ego thought system brings with it the belief that we are victims of the world. The truth is we are only the “victim” of the thoughts we are holding, and we can let them go. Today our practice is to consistently join with the Holy Spirit to let our minds be purified of all the ego’s false ideas. We choose freedom instead pain. We choose Love instead of fear. And our gratitude for our inner Teacher is strong.

Forgiveness Is the Way to Happiness

The following is from From the Christ Mind, page 46. We are sharing it with you because it so beautifully expresses the importance of forgiveness as the pathway Home.

Forgiveness is the choice that must be made if you would be happy. A mind devoted to holding grievances is choosing conflict and attack as its constant state. With fear as your chosen partner, happiness will not be found. Happiness is part of joy, and joy without Love is impossible. The belief in guilt is the denial of Love, for fear is guilt’s constant companion; and where fear is, Love is not. The choice for Love is the choice for forgiveness. Forgiveness overlooks all “sins” that were never committed but in dreams. All dreams are dispelled by the gentle remedy [forgiveness] brings, and the world of illusion, enfolded in the gentle embrace of forgiveness, is quietly brought to an end, allowing Truth to return and take you Home.

We choose to be happy today by practicing forgiveness. With Holy Spirit’s help, we will see past appearances to the truth of Love everywhere.

Being Watchful and Choosing Truth

We dedicate today to watching our mind and thoughts… As we recognize thoughts that are not Love, we bring them to the Holy Spirit in our minds with willingness to let Him purify them and return them to loving expressions.

With His help we will offer Love where fear appeared… We will offer blessing where there appeared to be lack… We will recognize the innocence that truly lies beyond all appearances of guilt… Judgment will be replaced by acceptance of the truth of Love that lies beyond all appearances. With this practice, we choose Truth.

Today We Let Holy Spirit Be in the Driver’s Seat

The world we see is the result of a wish to have a will we could call our own, to do it our way. We wanted to be in the driver’s seat. But when we are in the driver’s seat doing it our way, we really go nowhere and what we experience does not bring us lasting happiness. We are on a seemingly endless journey, trying to find the Love that we seem to have lost.

Fortunately, we have available to us the means to find our way back to Love. When we accepted the wish to have our own will, we were given the means to remember that our real Will is the Will we share with God. It is the Will of Love. The means to find our way back is the Holy Spirit. To remember the Love we are, we need to bring the Holy Spirit out of the back seat and put Him in the driver’s seat. He is not deceived by our wild imaginings and will take us along the way that returns us to our Home in Love. We just need to let Him be the driver.

Today our practice is to step back from trying to control our experience in the world and turn it over to the Holy Spirit, with willingness to let Him be in charge of all our doing. When Love leads the way, judgment falls away, fear has no place and we welcome with quiet joy the Love that is given to us without limit in each moment. Today we let Holy Spirit be in the driver’s seat.
