Neutral thoughts are impossible because all thoughts have power. They will either make a false world or lead me to the real one. But thoughts cannot be without effects. As the world I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real world rise before my eyes as I let my errors be corrected. My thoughts cannot be neither true nor false. They must be one or the other. What I see shows me which they are.
I would look upon the witnesses that show me the thinking of the world has been changed. I would behold the proof that what has been done through me has enabled love to replace fear, laughter to replace tears, and abundance to replace loss. I would look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my will and the Will of God are one. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 54, W-pI.54.1:2-8;5:3-5. See also ACIM Lesson 54 Insights.)
We cannot correct our errors in thought using the thought system that made the errors. We need to let the errors be corrected for us by accepting the Holy Spirit’s help. His Thoughts are shared with God and thus correct the faulty thought system of the ego. Where the ego projects images of separation, the Holy Spirit overlooks them, seeing only the unity of Love.
We perceive the ego’s projections only because we believe they offer something of value to us e.g. specialness, something we can keep for ourselves alone. But because this denies the oneness of Love, our true Self, the forms of specialness never satisfy. While we subscribe to the ego thought system, we remain on a fruitless search for Love where it cannot be found.
But when we let the Holy Spirit guide our thoughts, we find that Love is everywhere, in everything. The ego’s projections fade as we withdraw the value we have given them. The Light of Love brightens our world with peace and joy as we accept Holy Spirit’s help.
