Your Friend [Holy Spirit] goes with you. You are not alone. No one who calls on Him can call in vain. Whatever troubles you, be certain that He has the answer, and will gladly give it to you, if you simply turn to Him and ask it of Him. He will not withhold all answers that you need for anything that seems to trouble you. He knows the way to solve all problems, and resolve all doubts. His certainty is yours. You need but ask it of Him, and it will be given you.
Henceforth, hear but the Voice for God and for your Self when you retire from the world, to seek reality instead. He will direct your efforts, telling you exactly what to do, how to direct your mind, and when to come to Him in silence, asking for His sure direction and His certain Word. His is the Word that God has given you. His is the Word you chose to be your own.
And now I place you in His hands, to be His faithful follower, with Him as Guide through every difficulty and all pain that you may think is real. …Now you walk with Him, as certain as is He of where you go; as sure as He of how you should proceed; as confident as He is of the goal, and of your safe arrival in the end.
You will be told exactly what God wills for you each time there is a choice to make. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 1, W-pII.Ep.1:2-8;3:2-5;4:1,6;5:3. See also ACIM Lesson 365 and Epilogue Insights.)
We have a Guide Whose sole purpose is to lead us back to the full remembrance of the Self that God created one with Him. This is the Self that is eternally at peace, continuously extending Love and always sharing God’s joy.
If we experience anything other than this, we have chosen to believe another guide whose purpose is to deny God and all His Love. This guide would lead us to death, the ultimate symbol that it is right and God is wrong about what you are. It “proves” that separation is real. But only our belief in this guide makes separation and death seem real. No matter what appearances are in the world, our true Self remains unchanged. In truth we remain as God created us.
No matter how real the world seems to us, we can choose to give our attention to the Guide God gave us to lead us out of the ego’s made-up hell and back to our Home in Love Which we never left in truth. This Guide is like a personal Tutor. He sees our illusions, but does not believe them. His curriculum teaches us how to step back from illusions. With His help, we free ourselves from the ego’s limitations by learning to overlook the world’s appearances and recognize the eternal presence of Love in us and all around us. This is our Home in truth.
