If you will lay aside the ego’s voice, however loudly it may seem to call; if you will not accept its petty gifts that give you nothing that you really want; if you will listen with an open mind, that has not told you what salvation is; then you will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power, strong in stillness, and completely certain in Its messages.
Listen, and hear your Father speak to you through His appointed Voice, which silences the thunder of the meaningless, and shows the way to peace to those who cannot see. ²Be still today and listen to the truth.
Be not afraid today to circumvent the voices of the world. ²Walk lightly past their meaningless persuasion. ³Hear them not. ⁴Be still today and listen to the truth. ⁵Go past all things which do not speak of Him Who holds your happiness within His Hand, held out to you in welcome and in love. ⁶Hear only Him today, and do not wait to reach Him longer. ⁷Hear one Voice today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 106, W-106.1:1–2:2;3. See also ACIM Lesson 106 Insights.)
Behind all the things we think we want in the world is our call to return to Love. The answer to this call cannot be found in the world. It only offers the ego’s empty substitutes for Love that shine with the glitter of specialness. They seem to satisfy temporarily but soon fade, for the ego’s offerings are illusions that have no substance.
All we really want is to remember the Love God has already given us. Being still is the means to connect with this Love. Let the peace of God within rise to the surface and bless our mind. In this peace God’s Voice is clear. It leads us to recognize the presence of Love in which we live.
Today we practice stilling our mind to welcome the peace of God and let His Voice speak to us of the Life we live in God.
