Robert:
Judgment hides Christ’s vision from my awareness. It is impossible to hold judgment in my heart and see the innocence of Christ in my brother. The flip side of that is that if I see guilt in my brother, it is only a reflection of a guilt I see within myself. The bottom line is if I want to see and experience Love, I must let go of judgment, I must forgive.
Within the ego thought system there is no justification for forgiveness. The ego cannot forgive because true forgiveness would be the end of the ego. That is why we need help from outside the ego thought system if we want to forgive. That is why the Course tells us to bring all our thoughts of guilt and fear to the Holy Spirit for His gentle correction.
If I perceive someone as threatening or in some way capable of harming me, it is a sure sign that I have identified with the ego thought system. This is my opportunity to bring this perception to the Holy Spirit and welcome His beneficent Light. Holy Spirit’s Light always assures me that I am safe. If I am willing, I will be shown the error in my thinking that is the cause of the fear and I will be given a replacement for the false image that is fearful. I will remember that it is God’s strength and Love that sustains me. I am not sustained by the “good will” of the ego. I am sustained by the God Will of my Source.
Today is a day to practice remembering that I am sustained by the Love of God.
Mary:
Today is a day to remember What I am and Where I am in truth. The truth is that Love created me as an extension of Itself. Formless Love is What I am. I am not a body and a world of separation is not my home. My Home is in God’s oneness.
My practice today is to allow the memory of Where my true Home is to return to my mind. My practice today is to accept the peace and Love and joy of my true Home. If I allow the memory of my true Home to return, I will have a happy day. This is where my true happiness lies. Forgiving the world for all that I thought it was is the means through which I find true happiness. This is how I let go and let God.
