In Truth, We Rest in God

As we go through our day our practice is to remember that we rest in God eternally. In truth, time is over and we are in God’s eternity now. Our real life is the Life we live in God.

Even though we have things to do in the world, we can remember the peace that is inherently within us eternally. We can remember that we are perfect Love as God created us. We can remember that we are safe in the Mind of God for all eternity. This willingness to remember is our practice for today. We are blessed with all our brothers as this willingness expands into every part of our day. And we give thanks

Mind Purification with Holy Spirit

The function of the Holy Spirit is to guide you through the process of purifying your mind. To purify the mind is to release it from all that is unworthy of the Son of God. Your mind is held a willing prisoner behind thick walls it has built. (From the Christ Mind, p. 71)

Our practice for today is to let the Holy Spirit cleanse our minds of all false ideas. We have built a whole world in our imagination based on the false idea of separation from Love’s Oneness. Today, moment by moment, we join with Holy Spirit to let these false thoughts stemming from the underlying belief in separation be undone. It is only as we are willing to take all our thoughts about what we think is real to the Holy Spirit that we are freed from the bondage of the ego thought system. This is our purpose and practice for today.

We cannot undo the ego thought system on our own. As we are willing to follow our inner Guide, we are gently led to overlook the dream of separation and find the true meaning that lies behind all form. As we look past the world of separation, we find that only Love is everywhere. The Holy Spirit leads us past the clouds of fear to the Light of Love. Our minds are purified of fear, which frees us to accept the Love we all are. All this comes as we accept Holy Spirit’s mind purification today.

Opening to God’s Plan

The Course tells us very specifically to ask:

What would You have me do?
Where would You have me go?
What would You have me say, and to whom?
(A Course in Miracles, W-pI.71.9:3-5)

This practice is important because it trains us to let go of our own plans and open to God’s plan for our salvation and happiness. From the perspective of being a separate individual, identified with the ego, our own plans will always lead us away from salvation and happiness. They follow the ego’s doctrine of seek and do not find.

If we truly want to be happy, to be saved from the world of desperation, hopelessness, fear and guilt, we will consistently practice asking Holy Spirit these important questions. They open the door to true release from the illusionary dream of fear and death. As we open our minds to receive God’s answer, we learn to be truly helpful and we experience the deep fulfillment that comes with fulfilling our purpose.

Today our commitment is to ask these questions frequently, especially when there appears to be a concern or problem in the world. It is a practice that will free us and lead to lasting happiness.

Accept the Thought of Love and Be Happy

This day my mind is quiet, to receive the Thoughts You offer me. And I accept what comes from You, instead of from myself. I do not know the way to You. But You are wholly certain. Father, guide Your Son along the quiet path that leads to You. Let my forgiveness be complete, and let the memory of You return to me. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.291.2)

If we want to be free of the limitation that comes with belief in separation, we have to let go of the source of limitation. We need to shift our attention from what the body, the ego’s chief mechanism of separation, seems to show us. Instead we need to accept the Thought that comes from our true Source.

Without our attention, the ego’s manifestations will wither and fall away. The ego has no energy of its own to sustain itself. But our true Source is the Source of all Life. It does not need our attention to exist, but It does need our attention for us to be aware of Its existence.

Thus today our focus is to accept the Thought of Love in each moment in place of the old ego thoughts of the past, of fear and guilt. As we let the Thought of Love be our Guide, we will see past the appearances of bodies and behavior and recognize the Presence of Love everywhere. We will experience the joy of uniting with Love everywhere, always.

Being A Channel of Love

Our prayer today: Father, help us to be channels of Your Love today. Help us to be truly helpful that we may remember that we share Your Love in our oneness with You. Help us to see our brothers as You see them. Help us to recognize calls for Love — our own or another’s — and respond with Love.

In all our doing, help us remember Your peace and extend it. Help us recognize temptations to fall into old ideas that deny You and let them go, for we would remember Your joy and Your peace. We would remember our Identity in You and accept Your gift of Heaven.

Seeing God’s Blessing Everywhere

God’s blessing is everywhere to be seen. We are eternally held within the safety and joy of His Love. In truth, there is nothing else to see.

If we see anything that is not a blessing, that is not Love, then we are seeing a false image. We are seeing a reflection of our belief in a false image of ourselves as separate and different from what God created. It is this false belief that needs to be corrected to clear the way for us to see all the blessings that surround us.

Today we pray: Holy Spirit, guide our vision today that we may see past our mistaken beliefs about what we are. Help us to see past the images of our brothers in bodies to the truth of our brothers as Love. Help us to recognize our own calls for Love when we see another as separate from ourselves. We are willing to let go of our false beliefs and to be shown the holiness in our brothers that is our own. In gratitude we accept God’s gift of Love.

Learning the Difference Between the Real and the Unreal

Today we practice letting the Holy Spirit show us the difference between the real and the unreal. Today we stay in communion with the Holy Spirit… We listen and receive… We allow peace to heal our conflicted thoughts… We choose to become aware of what is real…

We hand over our illusions of separation to the Holy Spirit to be undone… We allow the Holy Spirit to shine a Light on our illusions… We move past the clouds to the Light… Here there is peace… Here there is contentment… Here there is eternal happiness… All this comes as we are willing to let the Holy Spirit show us the difference between the real and the unreal. And we give thanks.
