…we watch our thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who sees the elements of truth in them. Let Him evaluate each thought that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them back again as clean ideas that do not contradict the Will of God.
Give Him your thoughts, and He will give them back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and the happiness God wills His Son, as proof of His eternal Love. And as each thought is thus transformed, it takes on healing power from the Mind which saw the truth in it, and failed to be deceived by what was falsely added. All the threads of fantasy are gone. And what remains is unified into a perfect Thought that offers its perfection everywhere. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.151.13:3-4;14:1-4)
Watching our thoughts is an important step toward releasing ourselves from the pain, fear and guilt of the ego thought system. But with that, it is important to appeal to the Holy Spirit, our True Self, for help to see beyond the appearances of the world. Our True Self sees the elements of truth beyond our perceptions.
When we are willing to receive our True Self’s vision, we are shown the elements of truth beyond appearances. We thus are able to bring the Light of Truth into the shadowy world of the ego. The Light dispels the shadows and Love’s blessing extends to all. The appearance of conflict is transformed into joining in the oneness of Love. This is how we fulfill our function as God’s Son to bring healing to the world.
We dedicate today to watching our thoughts and asking for the clear vision of our true Self.
