Listening for Holy Spirit’s Inspiration

The Course tells us that the Holy Spirit sees our dreams but does not believe them. This is a clue for how we are to be in the world. It seems that we look out through the body’s eyes, make sounds with our mouths we call words, can feel things we touch. Yet all these are illusions that we are being asked to release. We release them by doing what Holy Spirit does — don’t believe in them. This seems like a balancing act because while we are doing things in the world, it’s easy to fall back into the habit of believing that the things we do and say and see are real.

We need the Holy Spirit’s help — the steadfast certainty that none of this is real and only Love is real — to lean on as we let go of the meaningless images of the world. We can’t do it on our own. The practice of stepping back as often as we can remember throughout the day and checking in with Holy Spirit’s perspective is how we loosen our identification with the seeming reality of the world. This is how we forgive the world. This is how we use the images of the world as instruments in service to the Holy Spirit that will lead us Home to the full remembrance that we remain as God created us.

Today our practice is to put peace first and hold our minds open to Holy Spirit’s inspiration.
