The Light of Truth Is with Us

Sit silently and wait upon your Father. He has willed to come to you when you have recognized it is your will He do so. And you could have never come this far unless you saw, however dimly, that it is your will.

I am so close to you we cannot fail. Father, we give these holy times to You, in gratitude to Him Who taught us how to leave the world of sorrow in exchange for its replacement, given us by You. We look not backward now. We look ahead, and fix our eyes upon the journey’s end. Accept these little gifts of thanks from us, as through Christ’s vision we behold a world beyond the one we made, and take that world to be the full replacement of our own.” (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.Intro.5:5-6:5)

The Light of Truth is with us. It remains within our minds, whether we are aware of it or not. Today we welcome the Light of Truth into every part of our minds. As we do so, the way becomes light and easy. Our trust expands and we see that we are being carried. We need nothing but the Light of Truth to guide our way. Peace and calm fill our minds as we continue to welcome the truth today. And we move through the day in gratitude.

Peace Is Ours Now

The Communication Link that God Himself placed within you, joining your mind with His, cannot be broken. You may believe you want It broken, and this belief does interfere with the deep peace in which the sweet and constant communication God would share with you is known. Yet His channels of reaching out cannot be wholly closed and separated from Him. Peace will be yours because His peace still flows to you from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it now. The Holy Spirit will teach you how to use it, and by extending it, to learn that it is in you. God willed you Heaven, and will always will you nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows only of His Will. There is no chance that Heaven will not be yours, for God is sure, and what He wills is as sure as He is. (A Course in Miracles, T-13.XI.8)

We don’t have to wait for peace. We need only be willing to accept the peace that God has already given us. He placed His Voice in our minds to help us clear away the self-made interference that blocks our awareness of His peace. Peace is ours now.

Our practice today is to be mindful of our awareness of peace. If we experience any sense of disturbance, we pause, take a breath and relax. We then ask the Holy Spirit to help us see as He sees, to look past the disturbing appearance to the certainty of Love and peace. We ask Him to add His strength our little willingness, that we may receive His vision and the peace that comes with it. We accept His help to offer this peace so that we may experience it as our own. This is how we will learn that peace is ours now.

How to Have a Happy Day

Today belongs to truth. Give truth its due, and it will give you yours. You were not meant to suffer and to die. Your Father wills these dreams be gone. Let truth correct them all.

Begin by asking Him Who goes with you upon this undertaking that He be in your awareness as you go with Him. …It is your Self you ask to go with you, and how could He be absent where you are?

Truth will correct all errors in your mind which tell you you could be apart from Him. You speak to Him today, and make your pledge to let His function be fulfilled through you. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.107.6:5-9;8:1,4;9:1-2)

Truth is joy. We need only accept the truth to be happy. Insisting that we are separate individuals in a world of separation is the denial of joy. Yet truth remains in our minds. It is the Self we are, together as One.

We dedicate today to the practice of bringing peace to the forefront of our minds and welcoming our Self as our Guide in all our doing. As we walk with the awareness of our Self, all our doing is immersed in Love. And we experience the joy of joining with our brothers in this Self. There is no greater happiness than what we find in the Self that Love created. The way is open to have a happy day.

The Bridge of Peace

Peace is the bridge that everyone will cross, to leave this world behind. But peace begins within the world perceived as different, and leading from this fresh perception to the gate of Heaven and the way beyond. Peace is the answer to conflicting goals, to senseless journeys, frantic, vain pursuits, and meaningless endeavors. Now the way is easy, sloping gently toward the bridge where freedom lies within the peace of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.200.8)

Being opposites, peace and conflict cannot coexist. The path to peace in the world is to let go of our judgments that are the foundation of conflict. This is why forgiveness is the path to peace. As we learn to see the world through forgiving eyes, we clear the way to experience the real world, free of judgment, where we recognize the innocence of all our brothers and ourselves. We cannot reach this place without help from outside the thought system of conflict, judgment, guilt and fear.

God gave us this help through the Holy Spirit, Who sees the illusions that seem to bind us, but does not believe them and knows they are nothing. Today we will take another step on the bridge of peace as we practice bringing all our thoughts to the Holy Spirit with willingness to receive His perception of the truth in place of our illusions. Thus we will have a day of peace.

Holding Holy Spirit’s Hand All Through the Day

Today is dedicated to allowing the Holy Spirit to enlighten our minds. In order to do this, we must step back frequently and welcome the Light of Truth into our minds… We give time to letting Holy Spirit’s gift of peace soften all the rough edges that we might not even be conscious of…

We let the strength of Holy Spirit’s peace heal the unhealed parts of our mind… We follow where peace leads… We let Holy Spirit’s peace lead us past illusions of separation to the one Love we all are in truth… We remember that there is never any conflict in Love… Mountains become mole hills when immersed in the truth of God’s Love… And we give thanks.

Accepting Our Special Function Brings Happiness

Everyone has a special part to play in the Atonement, but the message given to each one is always the same; God’s Son is guiltless. Each one teaches the message differently, and learns it differently. Yet until he teaches it and learns it, he will suffer the pain of dim awareness that his true function remains unfulfilled in him. The burden of guilt is heavy, but God would not have you bound by it. His plan for your awaking is as perfect as yours is fallible. You know not what you do, but He Who knows is with you. His gentleness is yours, and all the love you share with God He holds in trust for you. He would teach you nothing except how to be happy. (A Course in Miracles, T-14.V.2)

We all have a trust fund held in God’s Bank of Love. We access this trust fund through forgiveness. It is our judgments that block our awareness of the Love that is held is store for us. It is our judgments that bring the experience of lack, deprivation, guilt and fear. Yet this experience comes from a belief in what could never be true.

God’s will for us is that we have full access to His limitless trust fund of Love. Thus He has provided the means for us to access It — the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our Guide, leading us through the self-made maze of conflict, to help us see that the conflict has no substance and can be let go. The Holy Spirit tailors our lessons to heal the mistaken beliefs that hide the Love that is already ours.

Our practice today is to let Love heal everything by letting Holy Spirit transform our mistaken thoughts so that we accept the Love that is ours, held in trust by God.

You Are in Heaven Now

You keep an ancient memory before your eyes. And he who lives in memories alone is unaware of where he is.

“Forgiveness is the great release from time. It is the key to learning that the past is over. Madness speaks no more. There is no other teacher and no other way. For what has been undone no longer is. And who can stand upon a distant shore, and dream himself across an ocean, to a place and time that have long since gone by? How real a hindrance can this dream be to where he really is? For this is fact, and does not change whatever dreams he has. Yet can he still imagine he is elsewhere, and in another time. In the extreme, he can delude himself that this is true, and pass from mere imagining into belief and into madness, quite convinced that where he would prefer to be, he is. (A Course in Miracles, T-26.V.5:6-7;6:1-10)

Today’s practice is to let ourselves remember What we are and Where we are eternally. The truth is we are still as God created us — we are Love and nothing else. We cannot change Reality. We remain one with Love Who is our Source.

Today we let the past go by allowing the Holy Spirit to reinterpret everything we see and show us only what is true. With His help, we see the face of Christ in every brother and see the eternal in him. Today we forgive the past and let ourselves remember that we are in Heaven now.
