Mary:
This morning we read section 13 in the Manual for Teachers of A Course in Miracles. This is what stood out:
Decide for God, and everything is given you at no cost at all. Decide against Him, and you choose nothing, at the expense of the awareness of everything. What would you teach? Remember only what you would learn. For it is here that your concern should be. Atonement is for you. Your learning claims it and your learning gives it. (ACIM, M-13.8:2-8)
My opportunity for today is to remember only what I would learn. My Teacher, the Holy Spirit, brings me back to God. The Holy Spirit helps me see past bodies to the truth of Love’s oneness. This is what I would learn. I find that it takes constant vigilance and stepping back from what I think I know. This is my practice today.
Robert:
This section of the Manual explains that the true meaning of sacrifice is that it is the cost of believing in a separate identity. Since a separate identity could never be real, believing that I am separate blinds me to the awareness of God’s gift of Love. I sacrifice awareness of my true Identity when I want a situation to turn out to my liking, when I want someone to behave in a certain way or say a certain thing. I sacrifice awareness of my Identity whenever I judge anything. This is why forgiveness is the gateway to the return to the one Self that is God’s creation and that is our shared Identity.
Today is a day of vigilance to recognize judgments and offer them to the Holy Spirit for reinterpretation so that I may see the reality of Love.
