We were guided to this reading this morning:
These thoughts do not mean anything. The thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything because I am trying to think without God. What I call “my” thoughts are not my real thoughts. My real thoughts are the thoughts I think with God. I am not aware of them because I have made my thoughts to take their place. I am willing to recognize that my thoughts do not mean anything, and to let them go. I choose to have them be replaced by what they were intended to replace. My thoughts are meaningless, but all creation lies in the thoughts I think with God. (ACIM W-pI.51.4)
This paragraph reflects the core message of A Course in Miracles. I really need to recognize that the thoughts of which I am aware are taking the place of vision. I must come to the place of realizing this to become willing to step back and let them go so that true vision can return to my awareness.
Very early this morning, I received inspiration from Spirit to remember to laugh today. As I am willing to make it a strong habit to see that my meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world, I am able to recognize that what I see is a projection of my own errors of thought and remember to laugh.
A key part of my mind training for today is to observe the thoughts that pass through my mind with my inner Teacher. My inner Teacher will help me see that these thoughts do not mean anything so I can laugh and let them go. I am being trained ever so gently not to take this world so seriously.
Into this empty space, the Holy Spirit can bring the awareness of the thoughts I think with God. It is only in this clean and open place that my mind is healed. I only extend healing when I allow my mind to be healed by the Light within. This is what is important for my practice for today — I must make room for the Holy Spirit. That is what today is for. And I give thanks.
Despite the seeming complexity of ACIM, its message is very simple: Let go of what we have made up to take the place of Love and we will remember the Love we are. This is what letting go of our meaningless thoughts does. This is what forgiveness does. The entire content of the Course is there to help us do just this. I am filled with gratitude for the help that A Course in Miracles provides.
