Let us be still an instant, and forget all things we ever learned, all thoughts we had, and every preconception that we hold of what things mean and what their purpose is. ²Let us remember not our own ideas of what the world is for. ³We do not know. ⁴Let every image held of everyone be loosened from our minds and swept away.
Be innocent of judgment, unaware of any thoughts of evil or of good that ever crossed your mind of anyone. ²Now do you know him not. ³But you are free to learn of him, and learn of him anew. ⁴Now is he born again to you, and you are born again to him, without the past that sentenced him to die, and you with him. ⁵Now is he free to live as you are free, because an ancient learning passed away, and left a place for truth to be reborn. (A Course in Miracles, T-31.I.12–13. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Judgment makes us unaware of our true Identity. To the ego, judgment is necessary for survival. But we need to learn what is the Source of Life. Only our real Life is the Life we live in God, in Love’s oneness.
We remind ourselves today that we do not know what anything means. We relinquish the past and ask the Holy Spirit to judge the present on our behalf. His judgment is always based on the single fact that only Love is real.
When we accept His Help, we will learn to overlook the forms of this world to see Love’s presence. We will learn to recognize any moment when there seems to be a lack of love as a call for Love. With His help we will remember the Love we are and answer the calls with the only real Answer. With this practice, we will awaken to the Life we live in God.
