Mary:
Last night we watched the movie, “Inception.” It reminded me quite vividly how everything I see through the body’s eyes is just a projection that I made up. It emphasized very strongly to me how important it is that I step back from thinking the dream projections are real. I see how important it is to open to the one real Self we all share and let the Light of truth replace the thoughts of separation I am still holding on to.
I am seeing that the more I accept the Holy Spirit’s gift of peace and the more relaxed I am, the easier it is to receive inspiration and insight from the real Mind Which is awake and does not believe in the dream of separate bodies. I am seeing that getting wrapped up in the projection of separation never helps. It gives new meaning to the words in A Course in Miracles: “In my defenselessness my safety lies” (W-pI.153) and “My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world.” (W-pI.11)
The movie reinforced how important it is that I forgive the dream instead of reacting to it. The truth is that only God’s Love in everyone, including myself, is real. Today my practice is to consistently practice letting the veil be lifted to see the Love behind the projections of separate bodies. I need not defend against the truth. I can awaken to the fact that only Love is real. And I give thanks for the opportunity to practice returning to the truth.
Robert:
A core idea of the movie was that if a thought could be planted and accepted in the unconscious mind, it could change the entire belief system, which would be reflected in entirely different behavior of the body/personality. To me the Course is there to help us accept new thoughts from the Holy Spirit into our conscious mind. Since the Holy Spirit’s thought system is outside the thought system that projects separate images, it can bring healing thoughts into the unconscious mind upon which we can build a new way of seeing and living.
The Holy Spirit always brings us thoughts that lead to the release of belief in separation and the acceptance of the unity of our one Self in Love. Since these thoughts the Holy Spirit brings are aligned with our real will, they will be inevitability accepted. Even subconsciously we know that we want the Holy Spirit’s thought system because we know that His thoughts remind us of What we really Are. While the part of our subconscious mind occupied by the ego would defend against these ideas, our true Self welcomes them with gratitude. Since truth always shines away illusion, the truth in my mind will inevitably come forth and the ego will fade away into the nothingness from which it came.
My prayer today is to be open to the Holy Spirit’s inspiration to see as Love sees and to live in Love.
