Claiming the Peace of Heaven

There is a sense of peace [in Heaven] so deep that no dream in this world has ever brought even a dim imagining of what it is.

Nothing in this world can give this peace, for nothing in this world is wholly shared. Perfect perception can merely show you what is capable of being wholly shared. It can also show you the results of sharing, while you still remember the results of not sharing. The Holy Spirit points quietly to the contrast, knowing that you will finally let Him judge the difference for you, allowing Him to demonstrate which must be true. He has perfect faith in your final judgment, because He knows that He will make it for you. To doubt this would be to doubt that His mission will be fulfilled. How is this possible, when His mission is of God?

You whose mind is darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this: God gave the Holy Spirit to you, and gave Him the mission to remove all doubt and every trace of guilt that His dear Son has laid upon himself. It is impossible that this mission fail. Nothing can prevent what God would have accomplished from accomplishment. Whatever your reactions to the Holy Spirit’s Voice may be, whatever voice you choose to listen to, whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God’s Will is done. You will find the peace in which He has established you, because He does not change His Mind. He is invariable as the peace in which you dwell, and of which the Holy Spirit reminds you. (A Course in Miracles, T-13.XI.3:13-5:6. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

All the conflict we perceive in the world comes from valuing an illusion rather than the reality of God’s Love. God’s Love is one and doesn’t change. Its changelessness makes Love a safe refuge that we can return to the instant we give up valuing the images of the world.

We believe the world is real because we value what it seems to offer us. God gave us the means to recognize our mistaken values and beliefs. The Holy Spirit’s mission is to teach us to recognize what is real and what is not real. As we learn what is unreal from Him, we freely let it go. No one keeps what they perceive has no value.

Each time we lay down an image we no longer value, we take a step closer to the gate of Heaven. We claim the peace of Heaven as we disown the conflict of the ego. Today we ask the Holy Spirit to be in our mind and teach us the difference between the unreal and the Real, for we would return to the peace of Heaven.
