Mary:
In our reading this morning in A Course in Miracles, this paragraph stood out to me:
Listen in deep silence. Be very still and open your mind. Go past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts and obscure your eternal link with God. Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and sights and sounds of this insane world. You do not live here. We are trying to reach your real home. We are trying to reach the place where you are truly welcome. We are trying to reach God. (W-pI.49.4)
These are very clear directions in how to help me move past thoughts of separation to the real thoughts we share with God. It emphasizes that I need to be quiet. It emphasizes that I need to have an open mind. It also instructs me to go past all the thoughts which stem from the belief in separation.
I must be willing to sink deep into the peace that awaits me. As I am willing, peace carries me gently past all worldly thoughts. Peace carries me to my real Home. It is here that I find my real strength. It is here that I am awakened to my true Nature, which includes the whole Sonship — God’s whole family of Love. This is my practice for today.
Robert:
This lesson assures me that “God’s Voice speaks to me all through the day.” There is never a time when God’s Voice is not present and communicating with me in my mind. When I am not aware of this communication, it is only because I have blocked it from my awareness by focusing my attention on the images of the world of separation. God’s Voice is always there, whether or not I am aware of It.
This lesson also assures me that the part of my mind that is aware of this Voice is a place of deep peace. To return to awareness of this Voice I only need to go to this deep peace in my mind. It’s always there. I just need to be willing to sink past the things of the world that I have given attention. As I give attention to peace, the guidance of this Voice comes to the front and leads me to my real Home.
My practice today is to frequently go to that place of peace in my mind. This is all I really want.
