Certain pupils have been assigned to each of God’s teachers, and they will begin to look for him as soon as he has answered the Call. They were chosen for him because the form of the universal curriculum that he will teach is best for them in view of their level of understanding. His pupils have been waiting for him, for his coming is certain. Again, it is only a matter of time. Once he has chosen to fulfill his role, they are ready to fulfill theirs. Time waits on his choice, but not on whom he will serve. When he is ready to learn, the opportunities to teach will be provided for him.
God’s Teacher speaks to any two who join together for learning purposes. The relationship is holy because of that purpose, and God has promised to send His Spirit into any holy relationship. In the teaching-learning situation, each one learns that giving and receiving are the same. The demarcations they have drawn between their roles, their minds, their bodies, their needs, their interests, and all the differences they thought separated them from one another, fade and grow dim and disappear. Those who would learn the same course share one interest and one goal. And thus he who was the learner becomes a teacher of God himself, for he has made the one decision that gave his teacher to him. He has seen in another person the same interests as his own. (A Course in Miracles, M-2.1;5:3-9)
What does it mean to “answer the Call”? The Holy Spirit, the Voice for God, is always calling to us. He offers us His vision to see past the images of separation in the world. We answer His Call when we are willing to accept His vision to see the one Self Which unites us with every brother.
As we accept His vision, we teach by demonstration that there are, in fact, no differences between each brother. With this vision, we see past the imagined barriers in the world and join in the one Self we share. Appearances of separation and differences fade and the Light of Love that shines within us all is clearly seen. Fear and conflict dissolve and we join in holy union with the holiness in our brothers. Today we choose to answer the Call by letting the Holy Spirit guide our thoughts, words and actions throughout the day.
