The Holy Spirit mediates between illusions and the truth. ²Since He must bridge the gap between reality and dreams, perception leads to knowledge through the grace that God has given Him, to be His gift to everyone who turns to [the Holy Spirit] for truth. ³Across the bridge that He provides are dreams all carried to the truth, to be dispelled before the light of knowledge. ⁴There are sights and sounds forever laid aside. ⁵And where they were perceived before, forgiveness has made possible perception’s tranquil end.
The goal the Holy Spirit’s teaching sets is just this end of dreams. ²For sights and sounds must be translated from the witnesses of fear to those of love. ³And when this [translation] is entirely accomplished, learning has achieved the only goal it has in truth. ⁴For learning, as the Holy Spirit guides it to the outcome He perceives for it, becomes the means to go beyond [learning], to be replaced by the eternal truth.
Accept your Father’s gift. ²It is a Call from Love to Love, that It be but Itself. ³The Holy Spirit is His gift, by which the quietness of Heaven is restored to God’s beloved Son. (A Course in Miracles What is the Holy Spirit?, W-pII.7.1:1–2:4;5:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson Insights.)
The Holy Spirit is God’s Call to us to come Home. His Call is already in our mind. Will we answer the Call?
The ego is terrified that we might hear and answer this Call. Were we to answer and accept it, the ego would be dismissed as meaningless and powerless. We would no longer give it credence in our mind, for the truth would set us free. The ego would no longer seem to exist. We would remember the Life we live in God in perfect peace and happiness, extending Love without limit. It’s worth accepting God’s gift; it’s a gift that keeps on giving eternally.
