Giving Time Today to Step Back from the Story of Separation

In the past we have given time to reinforce the story of separation. Right now we have the opportunity to reverse this habit. Right now, today, we have the opportunity to open our minds to Holy Spirit, Who will reverse our thinking, our mistaken perceptions, as we allow it. Each present moment is another opportunity to return to the truth of our oneness with our Father.

We can open to Christ’s vision, which will show us the truth in ourselves and every brother. Every moment today is a new opportunity to forgive or let go of our belief in separation.

We have taught ourselves to limit our seeing to the body’s senses. This makes seeing truth impossible. But we have another Teacher in our minds Who is ready to teach us to see truly, if we are willing. His lessons show us that there is only oneness. Every brother remains one with us. We remain one with our Source, in perfect Love and changeless peace. This peace is ours for the acceptance. We need only be willing to be taught by the Teacher of Truth. This is our practice for today.

I Will Be Still and Accept God’s Blessing

I will be still, and let the earth be still along with me. And in that stillness we will find the peace of God. It is within my heart, which witnesses to God Himself.

God’s blessing shines upon me from within my heart, where He abides. I need but turn to Him, and every sorrow melts away, as I accept His boundless Love for me. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.208.1:2-4;207:2-3)

God gave us the purpose to be happy, which is to share His joy. We can share His joy only by accepting that we remain at one with Him, sharing His joy and His Will. The world we experience through the body reflects our denial of the Will we share with God. It hides the truth from our awareness.

Our practice today is to join with the Holy Spirit in our minds to receive His interpretation of all our perceptions. This is how we will learn to look past the world, to forgive it, and recognize that we remain as God created us, in perfect happiness. We give thanks for the Holy Spirit’s vision of truth, which shows us God’s boundless Love for us.

Seeing with the Holy Spirit to Awaken to Truth

The Holy Spirit asks of you but this; bring to Him every secret you have locked away from Him. Open every door to Him, and bid Him enter the darkness and lighten it away. At your request He enters gladly. He brings the light to darkness if you make the darkness open to Him.…

Joining with Him in seeing is the way in which you learn to share with Him the interpretation of perception that leads to knowledge. You cannot see alone. Sharing perception with Him Whom God has given you teaches you how to recognize what you see. It is the recognition that nothing you see means anything alone. Seeing with Him will show you that all meaning, including yours, comes not from double vision, but from the gentle fusing of everything into one meaning, one emotion and one purpose. God has one purpose which He shares with you. The single vision which the Holy Spirit offers you will bring this oneness to your mind with clarity and brightness so intense you could not wish, for all the world, not to accept what God would have you have. (A Course in Miracles T-14.VII.6:1-4;7:1-7)

Letting go of the dramas of the world seems daunting. If we had to do it alone, it would be impossible. But the power of God is available to us through the Holy Spirit in our minds. He knows we are not alone. He sees us as we truly are — at one with our Creator and with all our brothers.

When we are willing to share Holy Spirit’s vision, the perception of the dramas of the world is transformed in the recognition that it is either Love or a call for Love. The Holy Spirit is not deceived by the forms of fear and guilt in the world. That is why the way to awaken is to share His vision.

With Him we see the Love beyond the veil of images. We see the invulnerability of the Self that God created at one with Him. We recognize that we are that Self along, with all our brothers. All sense of harm fades away as we remember we remain as God created us. Today we practice opening our minds to share Holy Spirit’s vision.

Make Way for Happiness

Love, our true Nature, is always joyous. If we are not experiencing joy, we are denying our true Nature. Judgment denies the Love we are and covers our innate joy with guilt and fear. This is why forgiveness is the key to happiness. As we let go of judgment, our innate joy rushes in to take its place.

Today we will be mindful of every sign of lack of joy — sadness, discouragement, frustration, impatience, guilt, irritation, pain of any kind.  These signs are a gift if we use them as reminders to bring our thoughts to the Holy Spirit in our minds, with willingness to receive His true perception in place of our mistaken perceptions. This is how we forgive. This is how we set aside judgment and welcome the vision of innocence that sees our brothers and ourselves truly. This is how we make way for true happiness.

Accepting the Thought of God

The Thought of God created you. It left you not, nor have you ever been apart from it an instant. It belongs to you. By it you live. It is your Source of life, holding you one with it, and everything is one with you because it left you not. The Thought of God protects you, cares for you, makes soft your resting place and smooth your way, lighting your mind with happiness and love. Eternity and everlasting life shine in your mind, because the Thought of God has left you not, and still abides with you. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.165.2)

Let us today remember to leave a clean and open space for God’s Thought to enter. It is a Thought of peace. The Light of Love returns with our invitation and willingness to receive. God’s peace returns as we are willing to hand over our fearful thoughts and let them be replaced with the truth of universal Love.

Our practice today is to let Love return to light our minds with happiness and peace… We give thanks that our willingness to accept the Thought of God is strong today…

Love Can Never Be Divided

Your brother is your friend because his Father created him like you. There is no difference. You have been given to your brother that love might be extended, not cut off from him. What you keep is lost to you. God gave you and your brother Himself, and to remember this is now the only purpose that you share.

You are alike to God as God is to Himself. [God] is not special, for He would not keep one part of what He is unto Himself, not given to His Son but kept for Him alone. And it is this you fear, for if He is not special, then He willed His Son to be like Him, and your brother is like you. Not special, but possessed of everything, including you. Give him but what he has, remembering God gave Himself to you and your brother in equal love, that both might share the universe with Him Who chose that love could never be divided, and kept separate from what it is and must forever be. (A Course in Miracles T-24.I.7:1-5;II.10:3-7)

Remembering God is remembering we share one Self, one united Identity. Today our practice is to be willing to reconnect with the one Identity we all share with God. As we let the Holy Spirit show us the truth in our brother, we feel the blessing of his Love which we recognize as our own. This practice brings us the experience of peace, joy and Love, Which is eternal. We are safe in this Love, whether we remember it or not. And we give thanks.

Giving and Receiving Salvation

You who belong in God have the holy function of extending His Fatherhood by placing no limits upon it. Let the Holy Spirit teach you how to do this, for you can know what it means only of God Himself.

When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him you will see yourself. As you treat him you will treat yourself. As you think of him you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose yourself. Whenever two Sons of God meet, they are given another chance at salvation. Do not leave anyone without giving salvation to him and receiving it yourself. For I am always there with you, in remembrance of you. (A Course in Miracles T-8.3:5-4:8)

Today’s practice is to remember that everyone is in God and of God. Everyone is the extension of our Father. This is the truth about everyone and today we are given another opportunity to let the Holy Spirit bring this awareness to our minds all through the day.

Because everyone is in God, everyone is perfectly safe, no matter what “storms” may seem to surround us in the dream. We have the Holy Spirit to help us see the truth in every brother and thereby learn of the truth on ourselves. This is how confusion is undone. As we accept Holy Spirit’s vision, we remember the center of peace within that cannot be disturbed.
