Mary:
What I found most helpful in our reading in A Course in Miracles this morning was the following:
Today He speaks to you. His Voice awaits your silence, for His Word can not be heard until your mind is quiet for a while, and meaningless desires have been stilled. Await His Word in quiet. There is peace within you to be called upon today, to help make ready your most holy mind to hear the Voice for its Creator speak.
Only be quiet. You will need no rule but this, to let your practicing today lift you above the thinking of the world, and free your vision from the body’s eyes. Only be still and listen. You will hear the Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in his Father’s Will, at one with it, with no illusions interposed between the wholly indivisible and true. As every hour passes by today, be still a moment and remind yourself you have a special purpose for this day; in quiet to receive the Word of God. (W-pI.125.6,9)
It is my opportunity and joy today to follow this message encouraging me to let my mind be still and receive the truth. This practice will bring me happiness, joy and peace. This is my practice for today.
Robert:
It is reassuring to me that there is a peace within me I can call upon to make my mind ready to hear the Holy Spirit. The peace I need is already in my mind. I don’t have to go searching for it. I don’t have to find the right “circumstances” in the world to find peace. The peace I need is already in me. I need only be willing to step back from the ego chatter in my mind and let the peace that is in me rise up to my awareness. It is this peace that opens the door to God’s Voice.
Today I will practice stepping back and making way for the peace in my mind to rise up to my awareness. This is how I will clearly receive the Holy Spirit’s guidance moment by moment.
