Choosing the Stairs to Heaven

This stood out to us as we read A Course in Miracles this morning:

How can you know whether you chose the stairs to Heaven or the way to hell? Quite easily. How do you feel? Is peace in your awareness? Are you certain which way you go? And are you sure the goal of Heaven can be reached? If not, you walk alone. Ask, then, your Friend to join with you and give you certainty of where you go. (T-23.II.22:6-13)

This is so practical and helpful in helping me on a moment-to-moment basis through the day. The practice of paying attention to what I am feeling and thinking in the now moment is so helpful. Am I am being guided right now by my inner Teacher? Or have I once again shifted to thinking as a separate individual?

This takes vigilance throughout the day and remembering I cannot do this on my own. The ego thought system will never bring me peace or happiness. I have been used to thinking I am a separate person and seem to revert to this when I am not paying attention. This shows me how important it is to be vigilant for the level of peace I am feeling. When I notice I am not peaceful, I can once again step back and open to the blessings of the thought reversal provided by my inner Teacher.

This world of separate bodies is not my home. I have tried to make it my home, but now I can choose otherwise. The truth is nothing has happened to change God’s one Son. We are all still Love as God created us. I am truly helpful when I allow myself to remember that only Love is real. As I remember this with Holy Spirit’s help, peace returns. Simple, uncomplicated Love returns. I remember I am blessed, as is every brother blessed along with me. Gratitude…

Today I will choose the stairs to Heaven by being mindful of my level of peace. And with that, I will practice taking every disturbance to the Holy Spirit in my mind to receive His gentle, loving correction that helps me see the truth of changeless Love beyond the images of separation. This is how I will remember that I remain in Heaven, where Love would have me be.
