The Holy Spirit is the spirit of joy. He is the Call to return with which God blessed the minds of His separated Sons.
This Call is so strong that the ego always dissolves at Its sound. …The Holy Spirit is in you in a very literal sense. His is the Voice that calls you back to where you were before and will be again. It is possible even in this world to hear only that Voice and no other. It takes effort and great willingness to learn.
The Voice of the Holy Spirit does not command, because It is incapable of arrogance. It does not demand, because It does not seek control. It does not overcome, because It does not attack. It merely reminds. It is compelling only because of what It reminds you of. It brings to your mind the other way, remaining quiet even in the midst of the turmoil you may make. The Voice for God is always quiet, because It speaks of peace. Peace is stronger than war because it heals.
The Holy Spirit is your Guide in choosing. He is in the part of your mind that always speaks for the right choice, because He speaks for God. He is your remaining communication with God, which you can interrupt but cannot destroy.
Our task is the joyous one of waking [the world] to the Call for God.” (A Course in Miracles, T-5.II.2:1-2;3:3,7-10;7:1-8;8:1-3;10:7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Everyone is seeking for Love, for the world was made to be loveless. We yearn to remember Love, to experience Its joy and peace. The best the world can offer is substitutes that can temporarily comfort but never satisfy.
God’s Voice is the answer to our call for Love. It reminds us of the Love we are, have been and will forever be. That is why It is a call to joy and a call to peace. This Voice is always present in our mind, quietly offering an alternative to the ego’s unsatisfying substitutes for Love. The ego seems to speak louder only because we have convinced ourselves that we want specialness, to stand out from the crowd, to be different. But this wish leaves us feeling weak, for we have denied the power of Love. It leaves us feeling lonely, for we have denied our unity with the Love of God.
Everyone will ultimately reach the point of willingness to quiet their minds and open to hearing another Voice. This Voice is ever present, ready to guide us past the images of the world to see the Light of Love that shines forever within their Mind Which remains in the Mind of Love.
Today we remind ourselves to listen for the Voice that guides us back to Love.
