Choosing the Holy Spirit’s Purpose

²I have judged everything I look upon, and it is this and only this I see. ³This is not vision. ⁴It is merely an illusion of reality, because my judgments have been made quite apart from reality. ⁵I am willing to recognize the lack of validity in my judgments, because I want to see. ⁶My judgments have hurt me, and I do not want to see according to them.

³What I see is the projection of my own errors of thought.

³What I call “my” thoughts are not my real thoughts. ⁴My real thoughts are the thoughts I think with God. ⁵I am not aware of them because I have made my thoughts to take their place. ⁶I am willing to recognize that my thoughts do not mean anything, and to let them go. ⁷I choose to have them be replaced by what they were intended to replace. ⁸My thoughts are meaningless, but all creation lies in the thoughts I think with God. (A Course in Miracles, W-51.2:2-6;3:3;4:3-8. See also ACIM Lesson 51 Insights.)

The ego’s purpose for the world we see is to reinforce our belief that we are separate bodies, separate individuals, with different interests. It shows us a world of vulnerability, conflict and loss.

The Holy Spirit uses what we see for a different purpose. As we are willing to bring our judgments to the Holy Spirit for His correction, He shows us how to let go of what we believe we are, as reflected in what we judge. With His help, we forgive our judgments and their dark veil is dispelled. It reveals the Light of Love that is ever present in our mind.

Each lesson in forgiveness lets the Thought of Love shine more brightly in our mind. The awareness that we are in the Heaven of God’s Love now grows stronger. Anxiety and fear are replaced by peace and happiness. Today we choose the Holy Spirit’s purpose by letting Him decide all things on our behalf.
