…we watch our thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who sees the elements of truth in them. Let Him evaluate each thought that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them back again as clean ideas that do not contradict the Will of God.
Give Him your thoughts, and He will give them back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and the happiness God wills His Son, as proof of His eternal Love. And as each thought is thus transformed, it takes on healing power from the Mind which saw the truth in it, and failed to be deceived by what was falsely added. All the threads of fantasy are gone. And what remains is unified into a perfect Thought that offers its perfection everywhere. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 151, W-pI.151.13:3-4;14. See also ACIM Lesson 151 Insights.)
Here is a practice that will heal our mind of fear and guilt and bring healing to the world. It requires us to pay attention to our thoughts. Are they loving thoughts? If so, they will bring peace and happiness with them. Or are they thoughts without Love? If so, they will bring fear, guilt, unhappiness and lack of peace.
This mindfulness practice is an important step to break the unconscious stream of fear based thoughts that flow through our mind while we are aligned with the ego. But we cannot stop with just becoming aware of these thoughts. We must be willing to offer them to the Holy Spirit for Him to cleanse them of the illusions of lack of Love. This cleansing is the Holy Spirit’s function. We cannot do it on our own.
When we are willing to accept His purification, we receive a new perception. We see past the ego’s meaningless illusions to the Love or the call for Love our thoughts contain. If the thoughts are a call for Love, He answers with assurance that we live in the safety of God’s Love. The more we practice this every day, all day, the greater our experience will be of peace, happiness and gratitude for the Love in which we live and have our being.
