Following Holy Spirit’s plan always leads to peace because it leads to God. In the world, Holy Spirit’s guidance is always with ease, the reflection of peace. Our practice today is to be vigilant for peace to let the ease of Holy Spirit’s guidance flow through. Struggle is of the ego. Peace is of God. As we choose God’s peace today, we make way for a day of gentleness and Love. And we give thanks.

What is the ego? Nothingness, but in a form that seems like something. In a world of form the ego cannot be denied for it alone seems real. Yet could God’s Son as He created him abide in form or in a world of form? Who asks you to define the ego and explain how it arose can be but he who thinks it real, and seeks by definition to ensure that its illusive nature is concealed behind the words that seem to make it so.
The miracle forgives; the ego damns. Neither need be defined except by this. (A Course in Miracles, C-2.2:1-5;10:1-2)
In the world of form, the ego seems very real. We experience it in our sadness and in our anger, in our fear and in our guilt, in our vulnerability and in our loneliness. Yet this is just a story, made up of nothingness. It has less substance than a cloud that cannot support a feather.
The ego is held in place by judgment, for it is judgment that maintains a sense of separation. That is why forgiveness is the key to happiness. Forgiveness undoes the ego’s foundation. And without a foundation, the ego disappears into the nothingness from which it came.
Today our focus is to join with Holy Spirit and accept His help to let judgment go. With His help, we will see past judgment and experience the miracle of forgiveness. With each judgment released, we take a giant stride toward Heaven, our true Home. Moment by moment, we open our minds to Holy Spirit’s vision and we make way for happiness.

As we go through our busy day today, we focus on the idea that we rest in God. This opens a door to the Light of truth that brings peace with it. This remembering helps us not take the world too seriously. We keep the door open to the Holy Spirit and allow ourselves to feel the river of peace flow through us as we walk through our day. We feel safe in God’s Love. We extend God’s Love and peace to everyone. We let ourselves become aware of our oneness with every brother and with our Creator. We let ourselves become aware that we rest in God all through the day. And we give thanks.

The sudden expansion of awareness that takes place with your desire for it is the irresistible appeal the holy instant holds. It calls to you to be yourself, within its safe embrace. There are the laws of limit lifted for you, to welcome you to openness of mind and freedom. Come to this place of refuge, where you can be yourself in peace. Not through destruction, not through a breaking out, but merely by a quiet melting in. For peace will join you there, simply because you have been willing to let go the limits you have placed upon love, and joined it where it is and where it led you, in answer to its gentle call to be at peace. (A Course in Miracles, T-18.VI.14:2-7)
Our true Self is always calling us to be at peace. Today we practice answering that call. Today we open up to join with the peace of the Holy Spirit… We let ourselves settle into His stillness, gentleness and Love… We follow Love’s gentle guidance as we go through our day today… We would follow, we would not lead… We are open and receptive to the call to be at peace… and we extend that peace to the whole Sonship, for we remember that we share one Mind…

This time of year can easily feel rushed and stressful. Life can appear complicated and chaotic. It is in these times when it is most important to join with the peace of the Holy Spirit within. When we do this, we make way for clear Vision that always simplifies.
With Holy Spirit, the cobwebs are cleared away and we remember what really matters. We remember only Love is real. We remember we are safe, and God’s Will is all we really want. We let ourselves be carried instead of trying to solve all the problems that come up on our own. We remember to see the face of Christ beyond all the stories of the world.
Instead of getting wrapped up in the stress of the moment, we remember to soften and move into the mindset of ease and gentleness. In this place of ease, we are kind to ourselves and others. As we remember easy does it, we are returned to our right mind and we give thanks.

Think what a holy relationship can teach! Here is belief in differences undone. Here is the faith in differences shifted to sameness. And here is sight of differences transformed to vision. Reason now can lead you and your brother to the logical conclusion of your union. It must extend, as you extended when you and he joined. It must reach out beyond itself, as you reached out beyond the body, to let you and your brother be joined. And now the sameness that you saw extends and finally removes all sense of differences, so that the sameness that lies beneath them all becomes apparent. Here is the golden circle where you recognize the Son of God. For what is born into a holy relationship can never end.” (A Course in Miracles, T-22.Intro.4)
Our practice for today is to be open to the Light of our unity. We share one Identity that is changeless and eternal. We focus on this today and let the Light within heal all belief in differences. We let the Light within shine away the shadows that make differences seem real. Today we are willing to look past the appearance of differences and welcome the truth in our brothers, who are one with us.

Forgive the great Creator of the universe, the Source of life, of love and holiness, the perfect Father of a perfect Son, for your illusions of your specialness. Here is the hell you chose to be your home. He chose not this for you. Ask not He enter this. The way is barred to love and to salvation. Yet if you would release your brother from the depths of hell, you have forgiven Him Whose Will it is you rest forever in the arms of peace, in perfect safety, and without the heat and malice of one thought of specialness to mar your rest. Forgive the Holy One the specialness He could not give, and that you made instead. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.III.6)
Today our practice is to release the world from all we thought it was. God could not give specialness and so it is not so. Today we let our minds be cleared of false values that make specialness seem real. Today we are willing to open to the truth that everyone is still as God created them, and nothing has really happened to change God’s one Son. Today we accept the peace that comes with letting belief in specialness go. We open to the Light that is behind the illusions of specialness.
