I Remember to Choose Peace

I choose peace now…

I quietly allow the Holy Spirit to be in charge of my mind.

As Holy Spirit heals my mind, all thoughts of conflict fall away…

As they fall away, I recognize that peace has always been there, waiting for my mind to quiet and recognize its presence.

I bathe in this river of peace… Everything softens in the healing waters of peace…

I allow my mind to rest while peace fills me with the joy, confidence and loving peace that only the Holy Spirit can bring.

I give thanks for the healing power of peace.

God’s Family Reunion

We have a mission here. We did not come to reinforce the madness that we once believed in. Let us not forget the goal that we accepted.…

I will accept Atonement for myself,
For I remain as God created me.

We have not lost the knowledge that God gave to us when He created us like Him. We can remember it for everyone, for in creation are all minds as one. And in our memory is the recall how dear our brothers are to us in truth, how much a part of us is every mind, how faithful they have really been to us, and how our Father’s Love contains them all.” (A Course in Miracles W-pI.139.9:1-3,11:3-6)

It is very comforting to remember that our Father’s Love contains us all. An image came to mind of a loving family gathering with no conflict of ego’s — only the joy of being with our brothers and sisters and remembering we are one with each other. Happy communication is exchanged in the free flow of Love extending to Itself. When there are no barriers of misperceived separation, we do experience the happy union/reunion of God’s family of Love. We can include everyone in the world in this family simply by accepting that we all remain as God created us. What a happy family reunion!

Accepting the Holy Instant

In the holy instant, you will see the smile of Heaven shining on both you and your brother. …Your perception was healed in the holy instant Heaven gave you. Forget what you have seen, and raise your eyes in faith to what you now can see. The barriers to Heaven will disappear before your holy sight, for you who were sightless have been given vision, and you can see. Look not for what has been removed, but for the glory that has been restored for you to see. (A Course in Miracles T-19.III.10:1,4-7 italics added)

Our practice for today is to reinforce mind healing by accepting the holy instant throughout the day. The holy instant removes the barriers to Love which came from the ego’s thought system. Willingness to follow Holy Spirit’s gentle correction all through the day is all that is truly important. Welcoming Holy Spirit’s inspiration consistently through the day is following His plan.

In the holy instant, perception of conflict disappears. It is replaced by the calm certainty of changeless Love. In this certainty, true perception shows us this Love everywhere we look. With the practice of letting all our seeing be guided by the Voice for truth in our minds throughout the day leads us to profound happiness and deep peace. This is how we extend the holy instant until it replaces all the old perceptions of separation.

What Am I and Where Am I in Truth?

If I am willing to accept the truth, I will remember that I am Spirit, one with Love. Because I am Love and nothing else, my only function is to extend the Love I am. Because Love is one, everyone I see in this world of separate bodies is the exact same Love that I am. This is what I am willing to remember today. This is what today is for.

Whatever I think I am will be reflected back to me in everything I see. If I identify with the ego, I will see the ego thought system of separation reflected back everywhere. But the Course reminds me that the ego is not what I am. As I focus on the vision Holy Spirit shows me, which is always that I am Spirit, the extension of Love, I will see the oneness of Love reflected back to me. My practice today is to keep my mind open to the Holy Spirit’s vision that I may see and remember What I am.

I Need Add Nothing to His Plan

I who am host to God am worthy of Him.
He Who established His dwelling place in me created it as He would have it be.
It is not needful that I make it ready for Him, but only that I do not interfere with His plan to restore to me my own awareness of my readiness, which is eternal.
I need add nothing to His plan.
But to receive it, I must be willing not to substitute my own in place of it. (A Course in Miracles T-18.IV.5:9-13)

God’s Will for us is perfect happiness. That sounds like a pretty good plan. We can have perfect happiness by simply not interfering with His plan. That seems to be the challenge.

Every day I observe how frequently I slip into making my own plans, deciding what anything means on my own. That is just interference that limits happiness. My practice for today is to be vigilant to step back from my plans and interpretations, and open my mind and heart to the Holy Spirit’s plan. This is how I welcome happiness.

Forgiveness Offers Everything We Want

What could you want forgiveness cannot give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? Do you want care and safety, and the warmth of sure protection always? Do you want a quietness that cannot be disturbed, a gentleness that never can be hurt, a deep, abiding comfort, and a rest so perfect it can never be upset?

All this forgiveness offers you, and more.… Forgiveness lets the veil be lifted up that hides the face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the world. It lets you recognize the Son of God, and clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can arise across the threshold of your mind. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.122.1:1-2:1,3:1-2)

In ACIM Workbook Lesson 24, we are asked to look at the many goals we have for situations in our lives. It points out that the goals we have for each situation often conflict with each other. These goals are reflections of unforgiveness because they are our insistence on having an outcome other than the full experience of our oneness with our Source.

Forgiveness offers us everything we want because it is the way we let go of the ego’s agenda to maintain separation and hide from our oneness with the Love of God. All we really want is to return to His Love. The ego may offer appealing substitutes that seem to be what we want. But we soon discover they are empty.

Forgiveness does not offer an empty promise. It offers us the return to awareness of the Reality of Love we really want and never really lost. Today is happy day of practice to bring all our interpretations in the world to Holy Spirit to let Him replace them with His clear vision. This is how we return to happiness beyond description in this world.
