From Uncertainty to Certainty

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Uncertainty is a condition of the ego. Illusion can never be certain. Certainty can only be found in Reality, the changelessness of Love. When you feel uncertain, it is a sign that you are attempting to choose between illusions. You have convinced yourself that what you seem to be choosing between are real alternatives. But any time you are choosing between forms, you are attempting to choose between illusions, which is not a choice at all.

This is why the Course talks so much about learning to recognize illusions for what they are. This would not be a difficult lesson to learn if you had not convinced yourself that illusions offer you something you want. You do not really want illusions. This is a central idea the Course attempts to teach. It is a lesson you ultimately must and will learn. When you learn it depends upon your willingness to accept a better way, a way that will bring you lasting happiness in place of temporary highs.

As you go through your day today, remember A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 128, “This world I see holds nothing that I want.” Remind yourself of this many times throughout the day. It does not matter whether or not you believe this now. This practice will help you with every seeming decision in the world. It will help you step back from the importance you place on your decisions in the world. This opens the door of willingness to see it differently with My help. It gives Me an opportunity to show you a real Alternative to what you perceive, which will lead you to the experience of joy beyond anything this world has to offer.

Mary:
ACIM Workbook Lesson 129 tells me, “Beyond this world there is a world I want.” The Holy Spirit is leading us very gently to recognize that separation is not what we want. The happiness we are really seeking is found beyond this world — Love’s world of oneness. We are being led to our real Mind that is beyond the ego mind.

As we open to our real Mind, we feel a sense of calmness. We feel the calmness because there is no conflict in oneness. There is no conflict in eternity. There is only peace and true everlasting happiness.

My deepest desire today is to welcome the experience of calm and certainty that comes with joining with the Holy Spirit. In this healing state of mind, I am led in the moment in how to be truly helpful. And for this I give thanks.
