This world of separate identities seems so complex. It is filled with a constant flow of problems. When one problem gets solved, another pops up. The Course tells us that the world is a distraction meant to hide the Light of God. Today it is my opportunity to let the veil of that distraction be lifted.
Today I choose to see the face of Christ. Today I choose to recognize unity instead of the images of separation. Today I choose peace instead of conflict. I am always deciding between ego or Christ’s vision. What I see is the effect of that choice, so I am always getting feedback on my decision. To let my mind be healed, I welcome Holy Spirit’s guidance to lead me through the day in peace. I am grateful that this help is always there.
I am never alone. The truth in me is eternally united with my Creator. The truth in me is Love, Which created me. When I identify with this truth in me, I see it everywhere. The joy that comes with feeling immersed in Love inspires me to extend Love and I feel the eternal joy of being in the circle of Love.
But when I identify myself with a body, all this is hidden from my awareness. Instead of the certainty of Love, I see uncertainty, change, potential danger and guilt. It’s not a pretty picture. It’s a picture of being alone and vulnerable, without a friend. I get wrapped up in trying to figure out how to make the world appear the way I think it should in myriad ways.
It can show up in something as little as being frustrated when I can’t get a box open easily. it can seem like a bigger danger when the brakes go out in the car and I’m told it will cost $2,400 to fix. But these situations are really the same. They are simply an outward picture of a belief I hold in my mind that I am separate and cut off from the Love of my Source. It is not true, but belief makes it seem to be true.
Today I will practice welcoming the peace that is within and opening to the loving inspiration that comes with it. This inspiration is available to me in every moment to help me see past the images of separation to the safety and joy of the eternal Love that I am. This practice helps me see situations differently and inspires me.
Yesterday I was working on a computer project. I was at a point where I thought I was ready to go on to the next step. But something nudged me to look deeper into what I had just done. I followed that nudge and discovered an error that would have caused problems down the road. To me this is an example of letting myself be guided by the Light within. It always leads to greater simplicity and peace. I am grateful that the Light is in me and I am willing to let It show me the way Home.
