Your Self retains Its Thoughts, and they remain within your mind and in the Mind of God. The Holy Spirit holds salvation in your mind, and offers it the way to peace. Salvation is a thought you share with God, because His Voice accepted it for you and answered in your name that it was done.
Salvation comes from this one Self through Him Who is the Bridge between your mind and It. Wait patiently, and let Him speak to you about your Self, and what your mind can do, restored to It and free to serve Its Will.
Begin with saying this:
Salvation comes from my one Self. Its Thoughts are mine to use.
Your Self will welcome [your mind] and give it peace. Restored in strength, it will again flow out from spirit to the spirit in all things created by the Spirit as Itself. Your mind will bless all things. Confusion done, you are restored, for you have found your Self. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 96, W-pI.96.7:1-3;8:3-9:3;10:2-5. See also ACIM Lesson 96 Insights.)
The ego is always impatient. Time is one of its principal mechanisms for making separation seem real. In its thought system, time is wasted if we are not doing “something.” Its only use for time is to retain illusionary memories of the past, which it uses to cover over the eternal Present and project a future like the past. The ego never wants us to wait patiently to hear the Voice of God. Impatience is its defense against the timelessness of Love.
In this world the Holy Spirit uses time for a different purpose. When we are willing to pause and wait patiently to receive His guidance, we are led on a joyful journey of awakening. We are guided to remember the one and only Thought we share with God—the Thought of Love. This is our awakening to salvation. Acceptance of Love is acceptance of timelessness. It frees us from the ego’s tyranny of time and its thought system of separation.
Let’s use time today for the Holy Spirit’s purpose by pausing frequently to listen for His Voice and let the Thought of Love be restored to our mind.
