The Holy Spirit will always guide you truly, because your joy is His. ²This is His Will for everyone because He speaks for the Kingdom of God, which is joy. ³Following Him is therefore the easiest thing in the world, and the only thing that is easy, because it is not of the world. ⁴It is therefore natural.
⁶A Son of God is happy only when he knows he is with God. ⁷That is the only environment in which he will not experience strain, because that is where he belongs. ⁸It is also the only environment that is worthy of him, because his own worth is beyond anything he can make.
When a mind has only light, it knows only light. ²Its own radiance shines all around it, and extends out into the darkness of other minds, transforming them into majesty. ³The Majesty of God is there, for you to recognize and appreciate and know. ⁴Recognizing the Majesty of God as your brother is to accept your own inheritance. ⁵God gives only equally. ⁶If you recognize His gift in anyone, you have acknowledged what He has given you. ⁷Nothing is so easy to recognize as truth. (A Course in Miracles, T-7.XI.1:1-4;2:6-8;5:1-7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
If we are not supremely happy, we have misplaced our identity. Our true Home is in the Kingdom of God, which is joy. Only a mistaken identity could seem to lack joy. Thus our level of joy is a good measure to let us know that our beliefs need correction.
The Holy Spirit is the Guide to joy. When we are aware of any disturbance to joy, we can turn to Him. We welcome Him in our mind by pausing to step back and let ourselves rest in the peace of God within. As we let our mind be quiet, we welcome the Holy Spirit’s lessons in joy. With His help, we will recognize the barriers that we have built and let them go. Our mind welcomes the Light of joy. We have the means to awaken to the eternal Life we live in God.
