Accepting the Quiet Mind

The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is still. It reaches gently from that quiet time, and from the mind it healed in quiet then, to other minds to share its quietness. And they will join in doing nothing to prevent its radiant extension back into the Mind which caused all minds to be. Born out of sharing, there can be no pause in time to cause the miracle delay in hastening to all unquiet minds, and bringing them an instant’s stillness, when the memory of God returns to them. Their own remembering is quiet now, and what has come to take its place will not be wholly unremembered afterwards. (A Course in Miracles T-28.I.11)

It is when we allow our minds to quiet that the memory of God returns to us. Accepting the quiet mind is an invitation for healing that not only shines a healing Light on our fears, but extends to other minds.

Allowing our minds to quiet is like putting out a “welcome” mat to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit responds to this willingness to be open and helps us not take the stories in the dream of separation so seriously. He knows the perfect way to bridge us back to the truth that we are still as God created us.

As we accept the quiet mind, the Holy Spirit helps us see past our dreams to the eternal present. And in the eternal present, only God is there. Only the one Mind of Love is there to experience and we remember that God’s Will is our will. This is why in quietness, every problem is quietly resolved. We return to the truth that the past is gone and we are free of all illusions.
