Pause to Listen to the Voice of Truth

The happy dreams the Holy Spirit brings are different from the dreaming of the world, where one can merely dream he is awake. ²The dreams forgiveness lets the mind perceive do not induce another form of sleep, so that the dreamer dreams another dream. ³His happy dreams are heralds of the dawn of truth upon the mind. ⁴They lead from sleep to gentle waking, so that dreams are gone. ⁵And thus they cure for all eternity.

Atonement heals with certainty, and cures all sickness. ²For the mind which understands that sickness can be nothing but a dream is not deceived by forms the dream may take. ³Sickness where guilt is absent cannot come, for it is but another form of guilt. ⁴Atonement does not heal the sick, for that is not a cure. ⁵It takes away the guilt that makes the sickness possible. ⁶And that is cure indeed. ⁷For sickness now is gone, with nothing left to which it can return.

²We will be still and listen for the Voice of healing, which will cure all ills as one, restoring saneness to the Son of God. ³No voice but this can cure. ⁴Today we hear a single Voice which speaks to us of truth, where all illusions end, and peace returns to the eternal, quiet home of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-140.3–4;10:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 140 Insights.)

The ego is a chatterbox. It is incessantly telling us to judge, feel guilty and fearful, prepare for impending danger and ultimately death. Paying attention to this chatter keeps us locked in to the dream of specialness.

But we can choose to listen to another Voice. It is a Voice that speaks of our certain health and perfect holiness in the Love of God. We pause today to tune out the chatterbox and quiet our mind to let this Voice speak to us of truth. Gratitude will fill our hearts as we remember we at home in God.
