Being True to the Will We Share with God

Perception selects, and makes the world you see. ²It literally picks it out as the mind directs. ³The laws of size and shape and brightness would hold, perhaps, if other things were equal. ⁴They are not equal. ⁵For what you look for you are far more likely to discover than what you would prefer to overlook. ⁶The still, small Voice for God is not drowned out by all the ego’s raucous screams and senseless ravings to those who want to hear It. ⁷Perception is a choice and not a fact. ⁸But on this choice depends far more than you may realize as yet. ⁹For on the voice you choose to hear, and on the sights you choose to see, depends entirely your whole belief in what you are. ¹⁰Perception is a witness but to [what you believe you are], and never to reality.

³Listen to what the ego says, and see what it directs you see, and it is sure that you will see yourself as tiny, vulnerable and afraid. ⁴You will experience depression, a sense of worthlessness, and feelings of impermanence and unreality.

There is another vision and another Voice in which your freedom lies, awaiting but your choice. ²And if you place your faith in Them, you will perceive another Self in you. ³This other Self sees miracles as natural. ⁴They are as simple and as natural to it as breathing to the body. ⁵They are the obvious response to calls for help, the only one [this Self] makes. ⁶Miracles seem unnatural to the ego because it does not understand how separate minds can influence each other. ⁷Nor could they do so. ⁸But minds cannot be separate. ⁹This other Self is perfectly aware of this. ¹⁰And thus it recognizes that miracles do not affect another’s mind, only its own. ¹¹They always change your mind. ¹²There is no other [mind].

God’s plan is simple; never circular and never self-defeating. ²He has no Thoughts except the Self-extending, and in this your will must be included. ³Thus, there must be a part of you that knows His Will and shares It. (A Course in Miracles, T-21.V.1:1-10;2:3-4;3;6:1-3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

When we believe we are a body, we are listening to the ego which tells us that we are little, vulnerable, of little value and we need to be afraid in the world. With this belief, happiness and Love allude us, for the ego actively denies their Source.

But we can choose to listen to the Voice for God instead. This choice tells us we are one with the Mind of God and with every brother. This Voice directs our thoughts to recognize the presence of Love everywhere. It tells us we share God’s strength, joy and Love, for we remain eternally one with Him. His Will is to extend Love, and so it is our will as well.

When we perceive a brother who is unaware of the Love he is, we naturally respond with Love. Our true Self dismisses the ego’s denial when we are willing to see with the eyes of Love. Today we choose to let Love guide our thoughts and vision, for we would be true to the Will we share with God.
