The mind that serves the Holy Spirit is unlimited forever, in all ways, beyond the laws of time and space, unbound by any preconceptions, and with strength and power to do whatever it is asked. ²Attack thoughts cannot enter such a mind, because it has been given to the Source of love, and fear can never enter in a mind that has attached itself to love. ³It rests in God. ⁴And who can be afraid who lives in Innocence, and only loves?
²Declare your innocence and you are free. ³The body disappears, because you have no need of it except the need the Holy Spirit sees. ⁴For this, the body will appear as useful form for what the mind must do. ⁵It thus becomes a vehicle which helps forgiveness be extended to the all-inclusive goal that it must reach, according to God’s plan.
You are God’s Son. ²In immortality you live forever. ³Would you not return your mind to this? ⁴Then practice well the thought the Holy Spirit gives you for today. ⁵Your brothers stand released with you in it; the world is blessed along with you, God’s Son will weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks for the increase of joy your practice brings even to it. ⁶And God Himself extends His Love and happiness each time you say:
⁷I am not a body. ⁸I am free. ⁹I hear the Voice that God has given me, and it is only this my mind obeys. (A Course in Miracles, W-199.2;4:2-5;8A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 199, )
The key to awakening to our freedom is to listen only to the Voice for God. The body cannot hear the Voice for God for it was made by the ego to limit communication. What is in opposition to God cannot hear His Voice. The ego’s opposition to God is opposition to freedom. It is a jailer, committed to denying Love’ presence and the Home God created for His Son.
When we listen to the ego, we walk a path of fear and guilt, weakness and sickness, even unto death. We need not walk this path. When we choose the Voice for God, we walk a path to happiness and peace. We walk in Love and innocence, which we share with every brother. Temptations to perceive separation are forgiven with the Holy Spirit’s help. We become messengers of Love to the world and bring every brother with us Home to Love.
