Robert:
Today I was reminded of the following quote from A Course in Miracles:
“Once you accept His plan as the one function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort. He will go before you making straight your path, and leaving in your way no stones to trip on, and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing you need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. You need take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only purpose that you would fulfill. As that was given you, so will its fulfillment be. God’s guarantee will hold against all obstacles, for it rests on certainty and not contingency. It rests on you. And what can be more certain than a Son of God?” (T-20.IV.8:4-12)
What stands out to me is, “careless of everything except the only purpose that you would fulfill [Holy Spirit’s plan].” My focus always needs to be that I follow Holy Spirit’s lead. It’s not my job to plan on my own for my safety, my health or any perceived needs. My job is to stay aligned with Holy Spirit’s purpose. By doing that, I will not be distracted by false needs and imagined circumstances. The images of the world were made to make separation appear real. By aligning with the Holy Spirit, I learn to look past images to the truth.
The fact is that I still seem to be looking at the world through the body’s eyes. But just because I still have enough identification with the body that I still seem to see through the body’s eyes does not mean that I have to interpret the images on my own. In fact the way out of identification with the unreal is to let the Holy Spirit be my interpreter in every moment. The Holy Spirit’s vision extends infinitely beyond the tiny range of the body’s eyes. It is not limited by time nor space. It is not limited by the walls that bodies appear to be and make.
The Holy Spirit is the bridge between the imagined world of images and the reality of my oneness with all in Love. Thus the Holy Spirit may guide me to do things in the realm of images. This guidance is always from His all inclusive perspective and always reinforces innocence and unity while it helps me recognize what I have interpreted as fearful or disturbing as simply an empty illusion. Today I will continue my practice of letting the Holy Spirit be my interpreter in every moment.
Holy Spirit to Mary:
Today practice stepping back from your activities and saying to yourself, “Who am I and where am I in truth?” In truth you are in the Mind of God. In truth there is only one joined Mind, and that is the Mind of Love. That is where you are right now. That is where everyone is right now and for eternity.
Practice stepping back frequently today and letting yourself be reminded of this truth of Who you are and Where you are eternally. This practice will help undo your belief in the dream. This practice will help you to be truly helpful.
You and every brother are joined as one mind. As you let your mind be healed by letting the truth return, your mind is healed and all the world heals with you. Step back frequently today and let your mind be returned to the truth of What you are and Where you are eternally.
