Today I will judge nothing that occurs.
I will be honest with myself today. I will not think that I already know what must remain beyond my present grasp. I will not think I understand the whole from bits of my perception, which are all that I can see. Today I recognize that this is so. And so I am relieved of judgments that I cannot make. Thus do I free myself and what I look upon, to be in peace as God created us.
Father, today I leave creation free to be itself. I honor all its parts, in which I am included. We are one because each part contains Your memory, and truth must shine in all of us as one. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 243, W-pII.243. See also ACIM Lesson 243 Insights.)
The ego always speaks first. It is quick to judge every perception following its dictates which deny the presence of Love. This is essential to the continuance of the ego’s illusion that it has successfully separated from God. As long as we put the ego in charge of interpreting everything we perceive, we are bound to its loveless world.
But we have another choice. We can put the Holy Spirit in charge of interpreting our perceptions. Because we have a well-entrenched habit of following the ego’s lead, we must be vigilant of our thoughts. We must ask of everything, “What is it for?” and remind ourselves that of our self, we do not know.
We let the Voice for God answer this question by pausing to welcome peace to our mind. His Voice is heard in a mind at peace. The Holy Spirit will show us that all things are either for extending Love or a call for Love, which is to be answered with Love. He will help us recognize these only meaningful purposes and teach us how to respond with Love. This is our journey of awakening that will return us to the full remembrance that we are Love and nothing else. We remain as God created us.
