Let this day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening. ²Your Father wills you hear His Word today. ³He calls to you from deep within your mind where He abides. ⁴Hear Him today. ⁵No peace is possible until His Word is heard around the world; until your mind, in quiet listening, accepts the message that the world must hear to usher in the quiet time of peace.
This world will change through you. ²No other means can save it, for God’s plan is simply this: The Son of God is free to save himself, given the Word of God to be his Guide, forever in his mind and at his side to lead him surely to his Father’s house by his own will, forever free as God’s. ³He is not led by force, but only love. ⁴He is not judged, but only sanctified.
In stillness we will hear God’s Voice today without intrusion of our petty thoughts, without our personal desires, and without all judgment of His holy Word. ²We will not judge ourselves today, for what we are can not be judged. ³We stand apart from all the judgments which the world has laid upon the Son of God. ⁴It knows him not. ⁵Today we will not listen to the world, but wait in silence for the Word of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-125.1–3. See also ACIM Lesson 125 Insights.)
Quiet listening is the key to receiving the Holy Spirit’s lessons which will help us remember we are God’s Son. These lessons teach us how to look past appearances in the world. Appearances only appear in illusions of form. Beyond appearances, the oneness of Love is seen everywhere.
Love is changeless. Because we were created as Love by Love, our true Self is equally changeless. Our true Self remains united with the true Self of every brother. Nothing else exists. As we learn to let go of the meaning we have given appearances, we clear away the barriers to Love’s Presence. We recognize we are one Self. There is no distance between us. In the stillness we are at peace.
