¹³There is a sense of peace so deep that no dream in this world has ever brought even a dim imagining of what it is.
Nothing in this world can give this peace, for nothing in this world is wholly shared. ²Perfect perception can merely show you what is capable of being wholly shared. ³It can also show you the results of sharing, while you still remember the results of not sharing. ⁴The Holy Spirit points quietly to the contrast, knowing that you will finally let Him judge the difference for you, allowing Him to demonstrate which must be true. ⁵He has perfect faith in your final judgment, because He knows that He will make it for you. ⁶To doubt this would be to doubt that His mission will be fulfilled. ⁷How is this possible, when His mission is of God?
You whose mind is darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this: God gave the Holy Spirit to you, and gave Him the mission to remove all doubt and every trace of guilt that His dear Son has laid upon himself. ²It is impossible that this mission fail. ³Nothing can prevent what God would have accomplished from accomplishment. ⁴Whatever your reactions to the Holy Spirit’s Voice may be, whatever voice you choose to listen to, whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God’s Will is done. ⁵You will find the peace in which He has established you, because He does not change His Mind. ⁶He is invariable as the peace in which you dwell, and of which the Holy Spirit reminds you.” (A Course in Miracles, T-13.XI.3:13–5:6. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
All the turmoil in the world is made by the ego. Everyone has been given the Key to go beyond it to the peace of God. We see ourselves as individuals with private thoughts because we have accepted the ego as our guide. We need only choose the Holy Spirit as our Guide to receive His help to see beyond the ego’s illusions.
We choose the Holy Spirit by going to the center of peace within. It has been hidden beneath the ego’s layers of guilt and fear, but it is there to be found with willingness to find it. Deep within is Christ’s vision which the Holy Spirit brings us to see the truth that only the oneness of God’s Love is real. When we accept the peace within, we rise above the battleground and recognize the one Self we share with every brother. Doubt and guilt are replaced by the peace of God’s Love, our Reality.
