Opening to Truth

Robert:
In today’s reading in A Course in Miracles, four sentences stood out to me: “Turn with me firmly away from all illusions now, and let nothing stand in the way of truth. …There is no veil the Love of God in us together cannot lift. The way to truth is open. Follow it with Me.” (T-16.IV.12:5,13:9-11)

This is very comforting to me. It is assuring to know that I have a mighty companion Who joins with me to turn away from illusions and open to the truth. In joining with Him there is no barrier, no veil, that cannot be lifted to reveal the truth.

Wow! Everything I need is available to me to help me wake up and return Home to the loving Heart of God. Today and every day I walk with a mighty Companion, a Friend indeed, always with me, always strengthening me, always ready to help me see the truth.


Mary:
The section that we read this morning is Chapter 16, Section IV, “The Illusion and the Reality of Love.” As I focused on reinforcing the important message held here, it struck me that my willingness is what allows me to experience the Love of God and my unwillingness is what holds me to illusions. The sentence that stood out to me today is, “To lift the veil that seems so dark and heavy, it is only needful to value truth beyond all fantasy, and to be entirely unwilling to settle for illusion in place of truth.” (10:4)

Today my focus will be to look at my level of willingness to value truth beyond all fantasy. Through mindfulness I will watch my state of mind and look at where I am still settling for illusion in place of truth. Once I see these areas as I go through the day, I can recognize them as the barriers to Love that they are. In an earlier part of this section I am told, “Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” (6:1)

This is my most important task today. I must be willing to look at where I am settling for illusion in place of truth and hand it over to my constant Companion, Who will show me where true value lies. It may look like I have other jobs to do today, but my most important job is this.
