Above the Battleground

My practice for today is to rise above to see the Love. Only what is eternal is true. The rest is dreams of separation which are untrue. It is only when I am willing to step back from the dream of separate bodies that I am brought to the truth that only Love could ever be true. Love’s Oneness is always there for me to see as I am willing to open up to see the eternal truth in everyone.

Today I have another opportunity to practice receiving the thought reversal that the Holy Spirit brings to me when I am willing. The Holy Spirit helps me rise above to see the Love. Here there is peace. Here there is lasting happiness. And I give thanks.


Whenever I choose to judge, everything is a battleground. It can appear in many forms, from as simple as being frustrated by a typo to as seemingly complex as trying to resolve the US government budget crisis. Judgment always brings conflict with it. Happiness cannot be found in conflict. This is why A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 121 tells us, “Forgiveness is the key to happiness.”

Forgiveness means letting go of judgment. Forgiveness is how I rise above the battleground and can see that the appearance of conflict is based on false images. I cannot rise above the battleground without Help from beyond the battleground. I am grateful that I have been given the gift of the Teacher within Who helps me rise above the judgment, see its meaninglessness, and let it go.

Today I choose to get into the Holy Spirit’s hot air balloon of forgiveness, and let it lift me up into the quiet peace of my true Self. From here I can see the Light of Love in everyone and everything.
