The more I work with the Course, the clearer it is to me that if I really want to be happy, I have to stop giving value to anything in the world. To this the ego screams of sacrifice. But each time I succeed in forgiving something or someone, which means letting go of being right or having something my way, I learn that rather than having lost something of value, I have gained more peace and happiness. This is what I really want.
I’m learning that I don’t really want the images of the world. I want to be happy. Forgiveness releases the need to be right and makes way for happiness. Today is a happy day of practicing offering everything I see to the Voice for God within to receive Its interpretation, that I may see the Love that is always present.
Do I want the experience of separation or oneness? Do I want the ego or do I want God? Do I want fear or Love? I am making this choice each moment.
Today my practice is to watch the ego’s scripts with my inner Teacher so that I can see the difference between the real and the unreal. Do I want everything or do I want nothing? I choose once again. And this time I choose to walk through this day following Holy Spirit’s lead. The Christ is all I want to see today. What an important practice I have today!
