Inspiration is of the Holy Spirit, and certainty is of God according to His laws. Both, therefore, come from the same Source, since inspiration comes from the Voice for God and certainty comes from the laws of God.
The Holy Spirit must work through you to teach you He is in you. This is an intermediary step toward the knowledge [certainty] that you are in God because you are part of Him.
The ego always seeks to divide and separate. The Holy Spirit always seeks to unify and heal. As you heal you are healed, because the Holy Spirit sees no order of difficulty in healing. Healing is the way to undo the belief in differences, being the only way of perceiving the Sonship as one. This perception is therefore in accord with the laws of God, even in a state of mind that is out of accord with His. The strength of right perception is so great that it brings the mind into accord with His, because it serves His Voice, which is in all of you.
Healing is a way of forgetting the sense of danger the ego has induced in you, by not recognizing [danger’s] existence in your brother. This strengthens the Holy Spirit in both of you, because it is a refusal to acknowledge fear. Love needs only this invitation. It comes freely to all the Sonship, being what the Sonship is. By your awakening to [Love], you are merely forgetting what you are not. This enables you to remember what you are. (A Course in Miracles,T-7.IV.1:2-3;2:1-2;5:2-7;7:7-11. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Because we, the Son of God, are one, as we extend healing to a brother, we are healed. Healing is undoing the belief in differences by letting go of the ego wish to separate and accepting Love’s oneness as what we are.
If we are willing, the Holy Spirit will inspire us with His perception of Love’s oneness. This is how He teaches us to recognize false perception and turn our attention to the Light of Love. We learn to recognize the truth of What our brother is and recognize it as What we are. Each time we let go of a mistaken perception of differences, we take another step forward to the certainty that we remain Love, as God created us.
