Certain pupils have been assigned to each of God’s teachers, and they will begin to look for him as soon as he has answered the Call. ²They were chosen for him because the form of the universal curriculum that he will teach is best for them in view of their level of understanding. ³His pupils have been waiting for him, for his coming is certain. ⁴Again, it is only a matter of time. ⁵Once he has chosen to fulfill his role, they are ready to fulfill theirs. ⁶Time waits on his choice, but not on whom he will serve. ⁷When he is ready to learn, the opportunities to teach will be provided for him.
³God’s Teacher speaks to any two who join together for learning purposes. ⁴The relationship is holy because of that purpose, and God has promised to send His Spirit into any holy relationship. ⁵In the teaching-learning situation, each one learns that giving and receiving are the same. ⁶The demarcations they have drawn between their roles, their minds, their bodies, their needs, their interests, and all the differences they thought separated them from one another, fade and grow dim and disappear. ⁷Those who would learn the same course share one interest and one goal. ⁸And thus he who was the learner becomes a teacher of God himself, for he has made the one decision that gave his teacher to him. ⁹He has seen in another person the same interests as his own. (A Course in Miracles, M-2.1;5:3-9)
God calls to us in every moment to awaken to His Love. It is that call that causes us to seek for Love, peace and joy. The ego tries to intercept the call and direct us to search for the answer where it cannot be found. Still God calls to us.
When we are willing to step back from the ego’s mindless directions and let ourselves relax into peace, we welcome God’s Teacher to guide us truly in the direction we seek. Whenever we see a brother’s purpose as our own — to remember Love — we have an opportunity to join in a holy relationship.
This joining may occur for a brief period or a lifetime. It always results in learning that we are Love and our only interest is to extend that Love. Into that joining the Holy Spirit comes to help us learn to recognize our calls for Love and let them be answered with Love. As we do this we become increasingly aware that we share one interest, one purpose, one goal — to remember that we are Love and nothing else.
