Be Content

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Be content with Everything. God has given you all of Himself. There is nothing else to have. Discontent of any kind means only that you have not accepted what you have been given and is already yours.

Rest in Everything. Rest in your Self. They are the same. You perceive a world of separate images because you believe you are not your Self. Yet within you the Self you are remains at peace and offers you a haven from the fevered dreams that show you a world of limitation. Rest in your Self. Rest in Everything. Remember that this place of rest is always in you, ever present as you walk through your day.

Frequently today, remind yourself as you consider an image of any kind — be it a computer activity, a thought about a friend, a building, a machine, a personality — that you have and are Everything. Nothing can change that. To every temptation, respond with the thought “I have and am Everything.”

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Today practice stepping back and letting yourself be carried. Remember that you need not do anything on your own. Let the Me guide you all through the day. Another way to say this is to let peace lead the way. Choose peace and follow where peace leads. Follow simple uncomplicated Love. Let the Me be in charge of your day and your day will be filled with peace and joy.

Our One Assignment

Mary:
In our reading this morning, Jesus is very specific about what our assignment is:

Teacher of God, your one assignment could be stated thus: Accept no compromise in which death plays a part. Do not believe in cruelty, nor let attack conceal the truth from you. What seems to die has but been misperceived and carried to illusion. Now it becomes your task to let illusion be carried to the truth. Be steadfast but in this; be not deceived by the ‘reality’ of any changing form. Truth neither moves nor waivers nor sinks down to death and dissolution. And what is the end of death? Nothing but this; the realization that the Son of God is guiltless now and forever. Nothing but this. But do not let yourself forget it is not less than this. (ACIM, M-27.7 italics added)

The keys for me is to remember that nothing that changes is real. The second key is to remember that the whole Sonship is innocent, which includes everyone in this dream. There is no death. The truth in us all is eternal. We are all eternally safe and innocent. Nothing can happen to change God’s one Son. Herein lies peace. We are in Heaven now and nothing can change that truth. Thank God all the ego stories are merely illusions. Thank God only Love is real.

Robert:
My prayer today: Holy Spirit, help me to see with Your vision today. Help me remember the gift of Love that is given me to share. Help me to be truly helpful. I walk with you in gratitude today.

The Gift of Remembering

Holy Spirit to Mary:
You are in the process of allowing in the truth that you are in Heaven now and you remain in Heaven eternally… What helps you remember this truth about yourself is to allow in this remembrance about every brother you meet or even think of… Every brother in your dream is in Heaven now. Every brother is the Christ, as you are.

Letting this memory of the truth return is how you can be truly helpful. Fear dissolves as you allow the miracle of this truth to return to your mind. You, along with every brother, are Heaven. Dreams are nothing and nowhere. You are learning not to take the dream so seriously. You are learning that every brother is safe in Heaven along with you. Letting this remembering return is your practice today. Oh happy day!

Holy Spirit to Robert:
You give yourself a gift each time you see innocence in your brother. You give yourself a gift each time you remember your brother is not a body, but only Love. You give this gift by joining with the Holy Spirit, your true Self, in your mind. It is in this joining that you are able to recognize the truth in your brother and look past the false images of the dream.

You cannot see the truth in your brother nor in yourself while you believe you are alone. But when you join, the thought of separation is recognized as nothing and nowhere. Let us walk together today and give the blessing of true Vision to all our brothers, who are one with us.

God Is My Home

Mary:
In our reading of A Course in Miracles this morning, this important message stood out to me:

God is with me. He is my Source of life, the life within, the air I breathe, the food by which I am sustained, the water which renews and cleanses me. He is my Home, wherein I live and move; the Spirit Which directs my actions, offers me Its Thoughts, and guarantees my safety from all pain. He covers me with kindness and with care, and holds in Love the Son He shines upon, who also shines on Him. (ACIM W-pII.222.1:1-4)

This is such a powerful message helping me remember the truth of Where I truly am, always. To help me remember this throughout the day today, I am going to print this out and read it often to help me return to the truth all through the day. Awakening to the truth is all this day is for.

Robert:
Once again we are reminded Where our true Home is. It is only because we believe that we have left our Home that we feel frightened, vulnerable, guilty, unworthy and alone. Yet there is nothing outside of Heaven, which is our Home. So it is impossible that we could be anywhere but at Home.

But dreams exclude what’s around us and focus on a tiny, limited scene that we make up in our minds. This dream is exclusive. No one else can see it; no one else knows its there. Believing that the scene we see is where we are, it is inevitable that we would feel alone and lacking. Yet while we are focused on this dream, the reality of Love still surrounds us and shines upon us. It calls gently to us to awaken and remember Where we are.

Love holds a place for us, no matter what we dream. Love’s Voice calls gently to us, reminding us of Where we are and What we are, offering us help to awaken in peace. Today I will practice opening to that gift of peace and letting it lead me Home.

Remembering My Real Home

Mary:
I see that my job today is to accept my real Home — the life I live in God. As I practice this I see that everyone is there in God. I see that nothing has happened to change God’s one Son, no matter what stories are made up in the dream. Today is my opportunity that I am at Home in God and never left. And that goes for everyone I see in this world.

Robert:
In truth I am at Home in God. I want to remember and know this. This is impossible in the dream of living in a world of separate bodies, but that is because the dream is impossible. I cannot find the possible and real within the impossible.

As I step back and accept the peace that is within me, I feel the comfort of Home — Home sweet Home. In the comfort of Home, I have no concerns, no needs, only perfect happiness. This is what I want to remember. And it is already there within my mind, waiting my acceptance.

As I accept my real Home, the images of the world become less important. I am certain that when I fully accept my Home, the images of the world will disappear, for their meaninglessness will be recognized. While I still believe that some images seem to have meaning, the practice of returning to the peace within helps me rise above the images and loosen my attachment to the meanings I have given them.

Today is a day of practicing, remembering the peace within.

Accepting Our Father’s Gift

Mary:
In our reading this morning in A Course in Miracles, I found this passage to be particularly meaningful:

Accept your Father’s gift. It is a call from Love to Love, that It be but Itself. The Holy Spirit is His gift, by which the quietness of Heaven is restored to God’s beloved Son. Would you refuse to take the function of completing God, when all He wills is that you be complete? (ACIM, W-pII.7.5:1-4)

Love is calling to all of us to be but our true Self. I see that it is my job today to answer that call and receive the awareness of the quietness of Heaven and the function of completing God. I have all that I need to complete my function as I am willing to accept my function of extending only Love. Love is so simple and direct. My willingness is all that is required. Today it is my opportunity to pay attention to my level of willingness all through the day.

Robert:
I will always feel incomplete, that something is missing or lacking, as long as I see my brother as a body, separate and different from me. What Love creates can never be limited and therefore cannot be a body, separate from other bodies.

To know my completion, my wholeness, my innocence, I must learn to recognize the truth in every brother by looking past the image of a body. To learn this, I must be willing to align myself with the Holy Spirit instead of the ego. I want to remember Who I am. So today I will be vigilant for peace and to align my thoughts with Holy Spirit. I am grateful that I have been given the means to remember Who I am.

I Rest in My Father

Robert:
My prayer today: I rest in You, my Father. I would listen to Your Voice and follow Its kind and gentle guidance through the day. I would let It show me the Love in every moment. I would let It teach me to see beyond all form to the safe and changeless eternal present where I am at Home in Love. I thank You for Your gifts, my Father and I would share them with all.

Mary:
My opportunity today is to remember that I rest in God. This means remembering that I rest in peace… I rest in joy… I rest in happiness… My awakening lies in my willingness to remember this truth. I am willing.
